And i want to tell you that what were seeing right now is not a cycle change. Its a structural change, and i am sure you are aware and seen the retailers and the retailers are shrinking the footprint and it is not the Large Department stores but even tenants that used to be 5,000 feet are shrinking to 1,000 feet and trying to deal with how to market the goods online and cross market both aspects. It has had a very structural change and quite frankly t vacancy rate at union square is the lowest that i have seen in 25 excuse me t highest in 25 years of business in union square. This there is, as we all know, a lot of vacancies that are happening. Barneys is going to close, forever 21 is closing, Williams Sonoma and the multifloor retailers are going out of business and those are the only ones that can occupy the upper floors.

It is all courtesy of what we see here, and atmospheric river. Essentially it is a plume of moisture, some call it the Pineapple Express because it extends all the way
Our negotiations with united to save the mission have been very productive and we have signed an m. O. U. And also been attending San Francisco equity Group Meetings weekly. Working alongside rudy, shawn, john, mitchell, kim, shelly and glen has been one of the ultimate blessings in education and awareness this project has received. This Equity Program was created to help those who are most negatively affected by the war on drugs.
