Hi Simonida,

I believe that one suite is $6500 and the other is $5800, but it would be
best to check with the property manager (Alison) at 415-285-1212. One suite
is slightly bigger than the other and comes with furnishings and a phone
system, etc.

Upcoming Hearings and Meetings:
Budget and Finance Committee, 1 P.M. February 7, 2007, Room 250 City
Hall The Budget and Finance Committee of the San Francisco Board of
Supervisors will hold a hearing on Wednesday, February 7 at 1:00 in
City Hall, Room 250 to discuss TechConnect, the City's wireless
initiative and public/private partnership with Earthlink and
Google.  At this hearing, the Supervisors will discuss the option of
deploying a network that would be paid for, deployed and maintained
by the City and County of San Francisco.

This critical meeting will have a definite impact on the prospects
of bringing free and affordable wireless Internet access to
residents of San Francisco.

The wireless-related agenda items on the schedule include:
       The Board of Supervisors' Budget Analyst Report titled "Fiscal
       Feasibility Analysis of a Citywide Municipally-Owned Wireless
       Broadband Network"
       http://www.sfgov.org/site/budanalyst_page.asp?id=53280
       Resolution 070022 by Supervisor Jake McGoldrick urging the
City and
       County of San Francisco to weigh the costs and benefits of a
       Earthlink/Google provided wireless Internet network, versus a
       wireless network created and maintained by the City and County
of San
       Francisco itself.

The meeting is open to the public and residents and leaders of
community groups are urged to attend to voice their opinions about
this important matter.
