Room window, i think wow, thats the largest Solar Project and our office was there. Whenever i think of how i first learned how to ride a bicycle, i remember how my parents supported our businesses. They bought our first bicycle. Right now i spend so much time with the businesses our district. At the same time, im so glad that place that i went to an as child are still there. So as we talk about job creation and economics situation of the city, i hope to continue to work with local merchants. I think of how we are so lucky to be able to work with the beach. When we talk about access to our district and public transportation, i think about my experience writing unigrowing up. There was no 311. Unihas made improvements. More needs to be done to help residents who have the largest commute to the city. One of the parents called our office distressed about the school system. I was lucky to be able to walk to and from school with my friends. Im so proud to be a product of the Public Educatio
And retail sales and things that were needed would face competition from pet food express, now pet food express has come even closer with the retail store on california which makes me think that this store is even more undesirable. Commissioner wu . So, picking up on a couple of things, this item remind me of the Orchard Supply ie team that we heard in soma a couple of months ago that the address falls specifically in one zone but its right next to an n c2 zone next to union, so for me, the question is not specifically what zone do you fall in and how do you apply the code, how can you get a sense of if youre serving the neighborhood, is it walkable, can you access these services by walking, if theres a desire to go to pet food express, can you go there by driving or taking the bus. In applying the criteria were supposed to look at for formula retail and looking at the general plan, i think there is a preference written in there for Small Business, in particular, the neighborhood comme
Technology. I talked to my mother about this all the time. My mother hates technology, and she has had to learn so much. I had a conversation with her the other day, and she was naming all the things she has had to learn, all the things she owns, all the things she hates. Things like her dvd player, her vcr, or microwave, herself phone, her cordless phone there are so many things she has had to learn. In the Senior Center where she lives, she said the most commonly used assisted technology is a twoinchlong piece of black ls will take, used to cover the flashing light on the vcr and the dvd player black electrical tape. She says it is easier the learning to program the clock. For the most part, a lot of seniors to not trust technology. People have gotten the word that there are risks to using technology, and a lot of seniors want to stay away from it. As much as i want to get my mother to do Online Banking and paying her bills, never going to happen. She is never going to do that. At th

Wow, i can tell you what some of the best ones that people have told me are the most popular so that will be like many other things in the startup world, its not the government that is going to come up with the answer. Its partners working together to find the solution. So, one data set that comes to mind, i want to do a show of hands. I get this question a lot in terms of how much of the work is getting out there. How many of you have ever heard of the green button, a green button . Most of the panelists and audience members. Its a good thing were here. It is a initiative launched by the white house but industry led. You should be able to get your own energy data in a machine readable format you can then give to companies, organizations like the ones being celebrated here today to provide real value to you such as saving money, improving energy efficiency, and protecting the environment.

Investor heritage and i appreciate that that heritage is being kept and that but i would also encourage you to get rid of that wharf that might be gone and i dont think that you need it and will help as well with the budget. And i would encourage you to simplify that perk i have a couple of comments as well. It is just stunning and there has got to be one of the only shipyards that you have turned into a park i dont know. Obviously this will be an example for the nation as well as honestly probably anywhere in the world. And one thing that i already have the port folks here is that i would love to make my pitch and i made it to ram before and it is not just in seattle, they have a pocket park and a beach. And you get away from the traffic and you hear the water on the beach and it is fantastic and so i love seeing the water meeting this park. But i would love to promote it in more spots along the wharf downtown and stuff so you can drop in and where that new park is down at brannen and
