that provides the bulk of the housing stock for many elderly living in san francisco there are zoning considerations that still need to be vest out i think there are a lot of things that having been done this needs to be reworked. this narrative about you know the benefit haven't property owner this narrative of sharing it is absolutely ridiculous. we're seeing and absolute ridiculous amateur of evictions over the last 3 years i'm not seeing the working class communities and this narrative about air b and b b and b stands for benefit eventual and benefit eventual i'm not seeking a

did you going i'm roger i represent 20 neighborhood successors in san francisco we respectfully ask the commission not approve the promote legislation to legalize the short term sharing this will rezone the entire city rather than letting people to allow the rentals in their neighborhoods. second clarifying short term term rentals as short term uses when in fact their commercial 0 this is making balboa park terrace to importing the carrie's in residential neighborhoods third, the legislation states it that will be loud in buildings with 23 or 3 units but this states it is lettering legal in single-family homes pr fourth the staff report

recognizes that allowing short time rentals will adversely focus neighborhood character nevertheless, recommended approvals how have a much greater impact on neighborhood of single families that are zoned for apartment and hotels and bed-and-breakfast i've a spoken with homeowners established homeowners and people that have lived there a long time they've moved in a neighborhood because they want to be in a single-family homes neighborhood and we've sympathetic but i ask you to be equally sympathetic to the single-family homes resident who want to live in their neighborhoods thank you very much. >> good evening i'm dale carlson

with with the san franciscans for affordable housing and jobs. first i'm going to talk about the myth of home sharing we're going hearted or harder harassment or heartwarming stories they are not the narratives 2/3rd's are not center live in theirs hotel units entire condo and permeate and homes so the home shearers tv are representing the smallest part air b and b is a lack active business the top host in san francisco punctuated $54 million i doubt it's that high here and air b and b is

walking away with many several thousands in commissions. let's be clear? a marking phrase and no home sharing only renting with middleman taking fat cuts. the argument that the names on the public registry is square foot secret is absorb you if take out a marriage lineups license that's a public resident and if you take out a c contract everyone is invited there's no physical environmental impact you can't make that claim without a cap on the number of gentile units and the concentration of units in 91 any

particular units the number of units could explode that protective deserves further study and i'll refer it back to our staff for additional work thank you. and good evening. i'm affidavit thomason a long time landlord my mooiveng support home sthair and we support david choosing ordinance take all the tax money and build affordable housing right there. what troubles me is the planning department draft report an home sharing is cuts the heart out of

the proposed ordinance while protesting support i'm going about the rentals to 90 days we have a tenant a family that can pay the rent for short-term rentals and 90 days a year is not enough. i suppose i could evict them isle ida make nor money but the city will lose would be more working class family there are many folks where housing is not affordable. i plead you with you help them to stay in san francisco does not document a 90 day rental. why not allow one unit to be used for short term rentals notice i said owner occupied tenant tend to be absent i'm

appalled that all buildings are trying to convert units in san francisco i believe it will bring order and help to provide much needed tax revenue to the city we all love. thank you for listening. >> good evening. i'm ron jordan you've heard a lot of stories and, echo those stories about being an air b and b's helping me and my family it's been a god september to us a lot of things you've heard can couple of things i want to point out. you've heard a lot about

different groups; right well, there are two groups people that do home sharing and potato home sharing a real thing it's sharing our living space. people who do home sharing do it balls they need to do that in order to stay in their homes. or they needed to do say so to make it to the end of the month but another group who in it for fun and profit and from what i've heard a that's where a lot of the option comes if the real home shearers we stand with the opposition you should put real legislation because those are the people that are taking down the housing stock if i can't rent out my bedroom it is not going to go on the market it

really isn't. a sharing economy is, in fact, as someone said earlier we don't have laws in place i support david chiu's legislation here's a suggestion take the tax revenue if home sharing and put it in a separate fund and take that money and put it towards affordable housing that's the real goal to get homes for people. thank you >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello, i'm susan my husband and i supplemented in the north panhandle in san francisco about 22 years ago we've been appalled by the rise in the cost of

housing and the decrease in the affordable i'm not going to go into the details why we participate in home sharing they'll probably be similar to what you're heard from the witnesses at the hearing but i want to mention we depolar the fact that property owners have abused the home sharing model i support the idea that the rooms are available to people available in the communicate we support that and at that make sure that it has peace whatever the new legislation will be of little use unless it is enforceable thank you very much.

>> hello, i'm robin i'm a residential rental property owner in san francisco of 6 units a family business. i look glassed over a couple of my colleagues made that point from the industry i don't understand how it can apprehend allowing the landlords to do this when i'm in a highly regulated area it's hard to be a small property owner in this city we're not getting rich a total even if 6 units it's a tough business and everything i

do is regulated and watched over etc. so it is inapprehensible to possible make 5 times more than 0 the rent you have to live with that but for them to make significantly more it mentioned in the legislation they shouldn't be able to make more but how do you enforce that i heard a young lady how she's boosting her rental why the owner may not be and i can lost my insurance and my building can burn down as well as that other tenants losing their place to live because one person choose

to do that my insurance is invaleted. that has got to be covered will before any of this can go forward thank you. >> hi, i'm anita i bought a house in the sunset neighborhood in 234r506 in 2010, i lost all my jobs and signed up to air b and b it wasn't a choice it's come in alone i didn't paying my mortgage and insurance without it i would be lost i'm hoping you'll help me pay my bills i haven't kicked out any tenants i'll be renting my room to anyone this helps me to keep my house and roof over my head.

the permanent rental market in san francisco i have many stories about nice people will have been enjoying the home they're going but my first guest was a ucsf kidney transmit painter who wanted to stay in a comfortable surrounding my neighbors are aware and support home sharing they want me to stay in my house and remain their neighbor my neighbors and dog after 17 years of supporting my business and my neighbors are happy that my guests and enjoy the restaurants and bars and shops and the conveniences that west portal provides. i'm asking you commissioners to support home sharing and take a close look at your limbs.

especially the 90 days because if i'm wlimentd to 90 days of sharing my home i'll not being able to keep my home >> thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> thank you, commissioners i've lived in san francisco over 15 years and my wife and i moved to the mission no 2010 when it was high rent and then became self-employed we have a new baby daughter my parents live in los angeles and sharing our home has allowed us to do that and allowed our parents to come up and visit their granddaughters. so it's important furriers and i understand people who abuse
