7:13 am
chinatown area and executive director vincent and caramel who's with sales force and with that we'll get started. so with this affordable housing crisis we need to not only continue to invest in the creation of new affordable units but really must protect our xoif housing stoke our rent control units that will close a loophole in the ellis act who are currently not loorntdz it authorizes legislation to let san francisco decide whether or not to require a 5 year ownership of the property before
7:14 am
a landlord can use the ellis act. it was created as a result of a states supreme court decision in the 45 that says landlords don't have the right to evict all folks the cowered said you could sell your building the legislature respond to create a statutory right to leave the business of affordable housing. but it's been abuseed but those who are not landlord and don't intend to be landlords. we've seen american people increased of the ellis act in the past year and 3 hundred units of affordable housing have been lost. and many more, of course, have left their homes as a result of
7:15 am
treat of the use of the ellis act. as a result entire neighborhoods and community are commanding forever and as well as the families impacted. so i have a copy of the ellis act right here and if you read it carefully you'll notice no where in it is spectacular what's the difference the business of the landlord a hundred percentage occupancy the business of a speech last year a hundred percent vacancy that's the difference in the business motto. and what our bill side is to restore the original intent of the ellis act. and that is for landlords not

7:17 am
and a very different coalition of folks who recognize that san francisco is changing and at risk of being changed further if we don't differentiate between the practices from aspect larts who don't have any intention of working with their tenants as we do so. i'm going to close by quoting mark ceo of sales force who was interviewed in the wall street journal he said the following with regard to the question of intrackable problems facing and challenging san francisco. he said the first time you can't be throwing throwing all those folks out of their homes they're
7:18 am
using the ellis act during this boom time to toss folks out of their home it's unfair and has to challenge quote/unquote. it's my job in the coming months to meet one-on-one with my colleagues in the states loufrg to explain to them the unique situation we're facing and to make the fact the ellis act didn't serve the entire state it does ♪ baker's field one size does not fit all. i'm going to ask them to address it as i would work with them to address a unique problem in in your district with that, i want to again not only introduce but sincerely thank mayor ed lee for stepping up to the plate and

7:27 am
single tool this is nodded the end all solution as well as really looublth building affordable housing and increasing our funding for affordable housing. those are the tools we're coming together on to really tackle this crisis. but again focusing on this one issue this is a egregious loophole. we've seen in the last year owners are buying the property and evicting people to make a few bucks and that's what t is wrong with the situation. it's only happening in half of san francisco but we're seeing this situation that isn't happening in fresno or san diego that's why san francisco is special. we want to make sure we send a
