Commercial rent increases across several key corridors of interest and ill be representing the displacement group. We have willy and frank they are also members of the group and 3 others who are not able to join us but they are there. And our original assignment was to identify rent trends and retail space over the past 20 years within 4 commercial corridors and as as you can see here we have third street, 24th street valencia street and castro street. Possible reasons for these trends its important to understand the impact of these trends on the businesses and its also important to realize the impact it has on the surrounding communities with these businesses so along with collecting the hard data, we conducted interviews with businesses to gain a greater understanding of how its impacting the Community Around there and a good example is an interview that i had with an employee in the flower shop and he was forced to move to the east bay and has to commute every single day due to risi

We introduce this collaboration to you in october of last year and in december you had a report from the teams that worked in the fall on various aspects of the legacy business ordinance and at that time the ordinance had not been adopted and as you know it was adopted in march of this year. We had 3 teams this semester working on various aspects of the ordinance and specifically trying to enhance and put a face on the issues that hopefully will be addressed through the ordinance.
