the city new york city has a 3% combined real estate transfer tax. the city of philadelphia has a 4% real estate transfer tax for commercial property. so we would have a measure that would be less than those places. i do believe this is a measure that is necessary, especially given the uncertainty of revenue and the need for multiple solutions to our budget deficit, including restructuring our government, including the labor concessions that have already been made in labor, but we also have to be looking at revenue. and this one, i believe, could be viable. i'd like to ask that we could move this forward with your support, colleagues. this would also not affect people who are single-family homeowners. the increase would -- their real estate transfer tax would remain the same. so it's really looking at commercial property property on that end. we have a report from mr. ted eagan, from the controller's office, office of economic impact. he can share with us the record. mr. eagan, thank you for your work. >> thank you, supervisor. good afternoon, superv
