market street between 6 and 7. i'm currently fighting an eviction there's 80 units in the building half of us are holding out we've been there song and thanks to supervisor jane kim who's been helping us. sxhars the supervisor campos legislation that's being debated i hope if the wording on it is as strong as possible to discourage eviction and put this into the legislation. the building i live on market street it a mixture of people. primer their lgbt artists s and some seniors we were supposed to be out by thanksgiving and christmas of last year. a recent article in the business newspaper is that whole block on market street between 6th and

7th is a number of high-rise planned for that area and a the hotel will be torn down and kaplan's will be torn down and the bill yard street i understand is owned by shore stop signs and own the twitter building and plan two huge high-rise complexed that will be a constriction of housing and retail and there's no mention of lower rate housing in that those 20 buildings. can you imagine market street with high-rises between 67th and 7th. we need to take care of the seniors that are being thrown out of the city your next speaker >> hi, the com mends are here.

i'm the only actual you will t actual mom and pop person here i'm speaking on behalf of the one hundred percent of mom and pop landlords i'm the president of the small property owners we're a pack of insignificant landlord and we believe that as landlords in san francisco we're not special we're not good at being landlord we would go smoking gun somewhere else like detroit detroit. we have been too good and things should change. we didn't do anything to get the incredible units i have one rental in my home and supervisor wiener we put in some cabinets from i can we we discovered a

gold something in our yard. but i think there's a sound legal agreement because our legal system is based on the idea you should have the liability to do what you want as long as your rights don't hurt other people that's why in san francisco we've lead the way in helping people like in gay marriage we and mexicans and cripple lists things like evictions and the heather crystal bluegrass effectively (clapping.) next speaker >> i'm a stand up comedian i've tried to stay in the city i know more about 0 job subscribes.

i moved here in 2008, and moved out of the closet into a literal closet to stay here. i'm sure that the landlords think about the impacts of the tenants maybe it they've briefly thought about squeaking insistence and at the same time have a brunch to go to for may people see they have other options of people being evicted maybe people can move into drug filled hotels or cool light packs but we need this legislation. the apartment association expressed the benefits that they will benefit rich the tenant are low income residents that

includes the seniors they think their people are - most people enjoy living in run down apartments because their bohemians but in all sisness the impact of this legislation we can become a social experiment of the city i look at this city and it's special. thank you >> next speaker. >> good afternoon. i'm nourishing i'm a stand up comedian i will in the richmond. i'm here to talk about the mom and pops we've been talking about. i took time to checkout the websites for the sf apartments association and other

associations i want to learn what they're about to get a feeling and went to their f a x's to learn about their tops and how much can i raise rent this. that's invested in san franciscans my their that tenants questions one and it were about basic computer functions and question was was how to print forms and two was how to use the crop down memo so perhaps the apartments association and i have more in common which is the stacks for technology and tech people in general (laughter) >> i don't know if alongside have a lot of experience if you think it's 18 to train an agreement against a passionate

person. if it was your dream to build a robot nerd you're killing it. i want to talk about if you give a mouth a cookie he'll go off the admissible but if you give a tech guy guy a cookie that's different. that's it for me (laughter) >> next speaker. >> hi, i'm matthew lee i'm one of the tech guys you're all democratizing i customize the goggle results me and my friend public health together a tech.

as a future rich person i've been noticing your talking about the income quality but we're losing sight of the issue. the real issue is how did the it is for me a future condo owner to visit the properties i'll one day live in. i've been looking at the beautiful common sense but supervisor campos every future condo i've met with the same thing every time i've met with a working-class family interrupting their dinner. i don't understand what the issue is they act like they own the place they don't own they rent. bay every future condo i go into is locked by a deadbolt

sometimes, i had to climb through a window to get a glimpse of my future home. i say i'm a forward thinker. you think of us tech guys grand dizzying we all listen to sin pishgz i've almost completed auto rash but i'm barely kissing the eye beggar i can take that. if i'm a criminal so are the landlords (laughter) >> next speaker. >> you are honors if it mrs. the court and jury i'd like to introduce might have. i'm born and raised in san francisco, california.

i'd like to say hi, how is everyone doing today. i've got some charts i think might help my little speech. here's an image of a person with the amended >> can you get that on tv. >> if you guys are amended those things if you don't here's an i imagine it's conclusive (laughter). >> it's not a good idea to do that. i worry about that amendment act excited i live in oakland now i've been the victim and my parents will tell you they kicked me out because i didn't pay the rent. it's no laughing matter i live in oakland when is a pretty good place to live if i don't make a

lot of money and don't mind violence. that's all i'm trying to say i know what's going on in san francisco there's a lot of brown people here it's america if you can't afford to live here so you can't be upset. i really should wrap up. here's a good point moving old people is mean. all right. we shouldn't do it those people are the most vulnerable and we should protect them. here's a chart stunning information. did you know the long-range you live the higher chance of being an old person increases thus we'll all be vulnerable so protect the old people please and next speaker >> thank you. i'm shawn i'm a

build the win award stand up comedian. i am shifk about what the landlord said if the proposed legislation passes it will be difficult to determine the rate for an apartment par that's drew true where will you find the market like in greg's lists the landlords own rental listing perhaps their personal tax returns it's compounding and i'm not sure how that can help. homelessness could be on a rise you can see art and other things

and who wants that or i need a $14.50 percent grilled cheese sandwich if i am going to make it. i was living in supervisor wiener district i was sent out so i do so both sides of this issue. since i left in may of 2010 it's been sold twice so i don't think there's a lot of stability in the neighborhood and i would be speculating but i think that that is a great grateful speculating and unfortunately, a that's the only speculating i can afford to do. thank you >> okay. thank you very much any additional public comment.

>> i hope you'll be as fub ted and i can't believe i have to follow that (laughter) i want to reiterate what's been said before that's the vast amount of the evictions that are doing more than half of the lokz here in san francisco right now they buy rent control parents and kick and the tenants within a shorter period of time. the legislation introduced by mark leno in sacramento the tenants asked him to do it and the lgb's in san francisco and what it says you have to own the property for at least 5 years

but you, you can do did ellis act because the ellis act is done years the vast bulk of them 80 percent are done within the first 2 years and the bulk s are done within the first year colored to the day of purchase and were done in the first 67 months. this is done by reaming developers and this is not by the alongside they make millions. the amount we're talking about for relocation is really chump change to the great profits that they make so we definitely urge this be passed unamended >> thank you, mr. collier. >> thank you, steve collier

tenderloin housing clinic. regarding what constitutes a hardship it's important to understand the rent board has as a backstop the constitutional fair rate in issuing a landlord can make a fair rent of return. with regards to the controllers factor for determining what the market rate will be for the unit it's important to understand it wasn't super clear to me, however, the factor includes a reduction from the current represent down to what is considered the initial rent based on the allowable increases and from that the factor includes the market rate increases from the pointed up to

the present. so it assumes that the allowable rent increases have been taken by the landlord >> if i interrupt that's not what i right hand lane mr. egon. >> right but i asked him and he confirmed it. >> we'll get clarity. >> that makes it, you know, a complete picture of what happens with the market and also i think landlord do impose especially the speculators increase the ellis act on a 50 day notice if more than 10 percent. i think the and i think the owners will determine based on their calculations as to what makes the minimum payment and whether they impose the

increases or not will be what the maximum or minimal is under the ellis act as amended thank you very much >> thank you. is there any additional public comment on item 5? you've already >> i think supervisor kim has a question. >> oh, yeah. supervisor kim. >> please come up. my question was i know there was a study done of the victorious so there's a lot of concern about the mom and pop and how this legislation impacts them but who's the veeshgors. >> i just wanted to address that we finished compiling a lot of research and joint tenants with the organizations looking at the ellis act eviction and i have numbers to share and make

public. first of all, one hundred and 3 units were evicted by serial evictors 41 percent of the units alone were evicted by folks who ellis acted more than wound. speculators will indeed take advantageing of the ellis act. in 201312 percent of ellis act eviction happened less than months of ownership and 2 to 3 months of ownership and 20 percent happened win that six months to one year and 15 percent between 1 and 2 years this is showing you concludely

that they've not been long time mom and pop owners >> do you have any information on the 20 percent. >> we have that in our database. >> thank you. >> any additional public comments on item 5 seeing none, public comment is closed. so i want to thank everyone for coming out today and for the folks who presented at the beginning. so supervisor campos you had proeptsd amendments before you described those amendments should we - do you time to comment on the amendments or should we we can have a motion to accept the amendments >> actually supervisor jane kim supervisor kim do you have a motion. >> no, just a motion to take the amendments. >> supervisor kim has moved to

adapt the amendments as proposed by supervisor campos and we've take those amendments working class. >> supervisor campos. >> thank you to the committee for listening to this item and thank you all the tenants and advocates and the community members that have come out for this hearing. i think it was very moving to hear the testimony especially from people who are fatiguing eviction that's not easy to talk about. let me say that i know that a lot has been said about the hardship and the need to protect the small landlord i think this legislation does that but i think we have to put that issue in context. my feeling is that when people

try to justify what's happening in terms of the displacement in this city that the folks who are trying to justify some of the displacement, you know, always point to the small landlord as the poverty child for what's happening. the vast majority of evictions as was said is happening by the speculators who have little no common if anything with the small landlord. if the concern is in the way those smalltime landlords are going to be impacted this legislation provides a hardship exception but we're not talking about hardship that's at the end

of the day what defines the speculators. those speculators are here to make money and they themselves know that the conduct in which they've engaged and the political realty of their business practice is such their notice justification for what's happening. their abusing a will that that was never intended for what is being intended today. to the extent you see the ellis act it's for the needs of long term alongside that want to get out of the business. if we have an opportunity to save the characteristic of this city we have to move now. the costs of the legislation have pretty modest we know it's

only part of the solution and not to defer people from exercising their rights under the ellis act it's for the purpose of giving tenants a fighting chance to sty in san francisco. that's all it is. and i think that a fighting chance is something that everyone deserves and t is sxhifth with the values of san francisco. we'll come back to this item for the next meeting and i strongly courage my colleagues to support in piece of legislation and to move forward it forward to the board of supervisors >> thank you supervisor campos. one thing i think it's important to keep in mind that if someone's getting ellised out of their unit whether a mom and pop landlord or a major conglomerate

i think it's equally devastating to the tenant. i i know in terms of ellis evictions and threatened ellis act evictions they're done by large new real estate investigators and long time landlords. we know that a significant majority of the ellis evicts they've not owned long so senator leno will prohibit of the ellis act evictions with fewer than 5 years of ownership but all the evictions are problematic and so i think that's important to keep that in mind >> supervisor kim. >> thank you for supervisor campos office for the work on this legislation.

at the minimum wage costs should be to reflect the current market and inflation. we're certainly seeing here 90 in san francisco this the the rent increases are above and beyond what we've seen and it's been articulated where land is quite valuable. it's important we keep up with the times and sure a level of stabilization for our tenants fatiguing eviction. i appreciated the members of the public who shared their stories picture its important to remember the experience of eviction is not only the loss you have your unit by the immense stress when you see there's nothing i can food it is

really, really unfortunate. by, of course, overall the loss of the special network and especially, if you're a senior resident that's something that no amount of money is replace or be accounted for the larger issue is what we're seeing in san francisco the wide abuse of the ellis act. i look forward to that in sacramento as we try to close the loophole and sure that the act is what it's meant to be not only by owns coming into the market and flipping and often they flip in the first 5 years. i really appreciated having stand up come ice cream i'd like to see that more often i think a

(laughter) there's a new role for 125u7b8d comedy i have friends and misery is an important living for the shaund comeic i guarantee if you come to city hall we'll be forcing you to - having material and, of course, you'll not get paid which will allow you to continue in our low income status and not making any money for the work i appreciate all the folks and encourage more of that to really frame the story and articulate the mess >> supervisor cowen. >> i too wanted to acknowledge everyone who came out to share

their stories and give a shout out to the merry men and women who made this hearing nor enjoyable and was we have this conversation we over the compassion to folks it's still part of the housing crisis and unfortunately, they have fewer advocates advocating open their on behalf of. so to the housing warriors that are out there let's maintain a watchful eye over what's happening with the affordable housing from the housing authority transferring property to private investment and management companies shur we've

got zero displacement as this transition continues to unfold. please don't think you're able to solidify our own position there are other vulnerable folks we need to continue to be mindful we're talking about a continuum of housing not only renters and property owners us against them but figure out the balance so natives can leave here and grandparents and artists can live here. everything that makes san francisco so desirable so desirable can still remain here inside of san francisco. thank you >> supervisor campos. >> just wanted to add and thank hillary in our my office to make
