San francisco. We live in a small apartment. I own a Small Business. I work in a small space. 10 by 10. Very small room. Its super affordable for me. When the Health Notice got slapped on the door, i was terrified. I didnt know how i would support my family. I need active space. Anywhere else i go im looking at double where i pay now. The p. D. R.

It keeps me having affordable crises for my clients. Now i really hope that were able to stay in active space if we dont, if im not able to, ive listen looking at other Office Spaces to at least double if not triple. I would have to close my doors and probably move out
