There is a business saying can i be in this space, part of this neighborhood, and i cant see why we would say no. President melgar next speaker, please. My name is brian springfield. I live one block from the location of Sterling Bank. Ive lived there 21 years. And i live across street from a vacant commercial space zoned for restaurant use at 2175 market. Its never leased. Its sat vacant for three years now. 2175 was also the location of a Business Venture called myriad, like a food hall concept, multivendor. That struggled for a while and eventually failed. I support their application to move next door to the Current Location because im really concerned about the vacant store fronts in the castro. Ive se

Next speaker, please. Honorable commissioners, my father president melgar i think you are youre part of mr. Kaufmans team. Yeah, so i cant speak. President melgar yeah. You can speak during rebuttal.

Told me they approve of the space theme. We have had so many genres, Frank Sinatra and david bowie and who ever knew there were so many popular space theme songs. The space cowboy. More and more. He says he is a space cowboy. Very good. We have new video to show you in the last 20 minutes from san jose where the Fire Department has been called out to construction site and it appears they are looking into possible ghastly but we are looking for confirmation from the Fire Department at capital avenue.
