was the of twaerp for 5 terms. we have cc&rs. and i've been to many meetings but in all the years this air b and b short time rental is itself biggest scam whether their we are talking about talks about the breaking of laws and the breaking of insurance companies and residents. the proposed legislation is based on fraud please go back and listen to the planning supervisor commissioner sugaya that are talking about rewiring the commercial use as residential is a zoning change. there's or there's been a hundred year old planning rule when it effects the property outreach in the form of tursz

must be duplicate now and then no one have been done. the alleyway breaking is endangering and ininconvenient the neighbors and the 3 ceos who, of course, is not here but their spokesperson david chiu is but please remember there's no new wealth the property sexually assaulting value and air banishing as he b is losing your property vail please don't have any part of this until it's vested properly. >> thank you very much. next speaker. . hi i jean in a i've been blessed to say i've lived in this beautiful city for 17 years i hope never to leave. i bought my home in north beach 13 years

ago and put a lot of money into it uvenl i had to leave when i had my second child in order to get more space and not move to more and more run we have to pay a higher rate than with we could afford to make this work is to get into the air b and b business for the property we own. if you take that away from us on a year-round base it will do nothing. nothing for the people in our situation who have to use air b and b to stay in san francisco we'll building priced out of san francisco and have to sell our house and move the rents have been rising for years and to blame the high cost of renting on homeowners that are finding ways to stay in the

city is unfair, short-sighted and doesn't solve the recommendation problem. doesn't solve the rental market problem it only pushes more proud san franciscans out of the city we love and care for, thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors aim kevin the executive director of the hotel council in san francisco and also serve on the board of ethnic travel thank you supervisor chiu and supervisors in the planning department for your work it's a complex situation. >> thank you and our industry thanks you as well. one of the things we've talked about we know the treasurer did rule that the tax would have to be collected those taxes and occupancy tax supports the general fund it is the largest

fund that supports the city services as grant for the art we want to 345ur as you work through this the regulations will help to understand what is using the system and the collection of taxes is equitable and brought into san francisco our visitors pay those taxes for the serviced within our services that helps our residents and businesses as well thank you for your work on the legislation. >> thank you. next speaker. >> hello, i'm chris i'm a bay area native a san francisco homeowner and small business owner in the castro i'm here speaking as a small business owner. i want to touch on economic a lot of people have spoken not benefits they've

received from sharing their homes i think one the biggest problems we're facing in san francisco is the increased cost of living and thing that help people in the arts or people who are making the 6 figures to stay in san francisco is a great thing we should support but as a small business owner in the castro i'm being asked for places to stay there's not hotels only two or three very small number of rooms so allowing for home sharing and allowing people coming to the neighborhood provides an economic benefit myself and my employees that we wouldn't otherwise see or the visitors staying in do you only hotels so i support home sharing and howe hope you find a reasonable way for it to happen.

>> thank you very much. next speaker. >> hi, i'm a constituent with meaning i live with my boyfriend and we share a room supervisor kim i want to disagree with our hosting of 90 days i rent my spare room for weeks and months i don't provide breakfast to my guests more seriously i don't eat breakfast but they're not guests their roommates. that is exactly how my hosting activities i simply use my home sharing platform is find roommates and don't prevent this is not i don't earn more money and doing this i'm filling a need. i mean none of my roommates are not brand new san franciscans and stay with a

short time so is finding- when i had to look for a place i had to stay with a friend all the way in mountain view it took me over a moss month in 2011, i don't want to think about today. i'm pursuing proud to use my room to help new san franciscans join us in one of the best city's on earthy ask you to look at the 90 cap it's unfair and not an old legacy platforms and so finally, i'd like to denounce it is unneeded this registry liability is one of the issues me and my landlord-tenant you talked about i paid the 5 thousand dollars

deposit thank you. >> hello, i'm andrew long a lymph gland i rent out agreements month to month does that make me part of the home sharing. i think the issue i really don't care in somebody rents out a spare room it in a home they own if you don't agree i don't care but you have a problem with people who are renting other people's property doing this without the landlords permission i think if someone is going to do this she should have the active participation of the lymph gland who's insurance t should be nullified quite honestly you can't adapt an animal in the city pound without the permission of the landlord they don't want new people owning pets to be evicted if you

want to do something good for the tenants require them that 9 landlords have permission i the landlords should be able to say dpo no, because it could nullify their insurance and the proportional part of the residence the oishtsz some people are renting out their unit for longer than thirty days this is legal this is only for people renting for less than thirty days and why are you giving air b and b a free tax sxoot you required people to pay two years of back taxes for renting parking spaces you should require two years back taxes in order for people to

register air b and b is a $10 billion company don't give them a free tax and. >> next speaker. >> peter i want to thank you very much supervisor wiener for saying we're not going to tinker with existing lease clauses i hope the amendment your proposed an amendment that will include the hoa or the what did you call the cc&rs when you're in a building with thirty units let's say and the building decided you're going to limit the short time rentals people coming and going this should be replaced as a clause disyou laughing subletting in a lease agreement and supervisor kim thank you for

assisting the property owners be informed their tenant are going to be doing short term rentals i'll go one step further and prosper an amendment they have to get the permission from the lymph glands the owner of the building there's wear and tear on the building people are coming and going and making noisy think the owner of the building should know ahead of time to register you can't shop people from registering if you're lease agreement didn't law that but doing is in secrecy is in the right. >> i have a question maybe we both suggested but the landlord notification. proposal or possible meantime i guess the skew i know that small business owners and the homeowners

association have advocated for permission but given the overwhelming majority the leases contain sub let clauses why do we require permission if the landlords have a way of easily knowing that short time leases is being entered into and they have that clause isn't that enough. >> i think if in the cases where is the leases contain subletting informing the landlords e.r. is oh, my goodness not necessarily having permission ahead of time will be all right but i beg to differ with you on the number of leases there are many, many leases are verbal or non-exist many of the rentals have no leases. >> i've heard on the landlord

side of things there's an estimate between 75 and 85 percent of leases have a subletting clause there are older leases that may not be a lease no one can find it anymore and that's what i've been told i don't know if increase precise data their might be. >> we're not opposing this project but we want to make sure it's regulated in a way that's out in the open and property owners know what's going on in their building 1346 us in the rental unit have been stuck with people selling drugs and prostitution we want to know what's going on in the property we have a right to know. >> right. >> mr. chair, i have a comment. frail i want to point out when we introduced our legislation

there was within the property owner world there was a lot of ironness rumors we were somehow changing the landlord tenant leases we want to make sure make sure the following language this legislation didn't confer or offer a residential unit for some use is not lauded by law a homeowners or rental agreement or any of the recreation or improbable agreement i want to enthused of authenticities we're not devolve into or changing the tenant lazy was speaking to the city attorney about the copy no time restrictions there's a prospective that carrie's are all right. incorporated negligence that will not

override cc&rs but include the words cc&rs just like we're not going to impact the homeowners association agreements leases e.r. otherwise that's clear. the other things there's been a plate of horrible things will the air b and b short time rentals whether or not there's prostitution or drug dealing as a matter of fact, that's happening that has happened in plenty of unit before air b and b came along it is not issues that are local law enforcement need to grapple with but we're trying to insure there's safety concerns but typical police department concerns and we are going after that you by the way, i must have the old version i didn't read in there what i read to me covers my concern about

the hoa agreements. >> yes. on page 19 subsection 57 line 12. >> thank you very much. >> i'm going to call additional cards i want to speculate some people may not have waited for their cards to be called

(calling names) >> next speaker. >> good afternoon. supervisors i'm chris, i live in district 10. supervisor cowen's district and i are happen to work in supervisor kim's district i've taken the day off to discuss this important topic. when i became a citizen easily this year i made a pledge to uphold and have full faith of the laws of the united states and as an air b and b host i want to do this legally it's important to me and important to my husband that we're following the laws in this i have to say it bothers me we're not curling

within the boundary of the law and appreciate supervisor chiu's legislation and the amazing amateur of work he and his staff and supervisors have done. to make it so people like us can do this legally. i have to say we live in the bay area and you may think we because of that we cannot host very frequently given certain conditions in the be sure we're full about 60 percent of the year with guests from around lights world who experience our neighborhood for the fritter we wouldn't come down to the bay area without the possibility of parole shop in the portal we've sent them to los angeles and aefblg we enjoy sending our guests and give them safety tips about using transit around the city and places that

are safeer we're going to be staying with some of our guests as the a deplorable community and i don't wag the 90 day limit given the time. >> for clarification for the people that raised this right now the legislation provides the 90 day limit when the host is not there are you referring to a 90 today limit when that 9 host is there. >> i've heard at some level having a 90 day limit hosted and unhosted. >> you're going for the extension of the periods of time when the host is present. >> correct so for hosted i disagree with the 90 day limit. >> i wanted to clarify that.

okay. >> next speaker. >> hi gary briggs. i'm here today to comment on this sharing economy, home sharing and the way it stands right now, i'm against it because it is rezoning blanket the blanket rezoning of entire city that's the problem there's planning code and procedure for this it should require a notification of the neighbors 5 hundred feet one thousand feet one unit at that time, until they go through the proper permitting process. before you get to that stage i would table this legislation until had that it you get the back taxes taken care of the disingenuous in-your-faceness so say there you go to pay the tax

but not submitted anything on this and furthermore, i would take the steps of having those records and get the money do an audit and then look at this thing make sure they're on board. they've ran david chiu done the rabble hole and for them to side or do this is really disgusting i'm against this and appreciate you'd table 24 and make them pay their back taxes and not do a reblanket of the entire city. thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i'm roger president of the west

twin peaks council that represents 20 neighborhood associations in san francisco i represent fully ask the committee not to approve the legislation first at the previous speaker stayed this as a rezoning issue whether or not people want to do short time rentals in the legislation is approved in the present form no longer single-family home district in san francisco. second renting rooms to tourists is not home sharing but rather room renting. the proposed legislation clarifies them as short time rentals they're really commercial uses clarifying those as short time rental it will make it difficult

for the homework associations to enforce their caesar especially rh1 and rh2. the language speaking of hoa's in the cc&rs will not trumpet the statute that says it's a residential use it's a commercial use. finally if there's a genuine need it should be a citywide rezoning perhaps by the creation of some special permitting not on an ad hoc basis and certainly not for the benefit of some large corporation that happens to be headquartered here thank you very much thank you. next speaker. . >> good afternoon, supervisors

my name is ken i'm a san francisco native former director of the mira loma improvement club and a realtor for the last 40 years many questions have been raised and ambiguities brought out by some of the questions and answers. through air b and bs a few questions that have not been answered when is the full scope of the short time rental market as it exists illegal at the present? and what could the scope grow to in the future that is. another question to what degree will the short time market contribute to the e

slating sales force. will the lucrative cash flows derive contribute to speculation much of which is from foreign investors will the number of non-occupants grow thus limiting the supply of housing for our citizenry. will this legislation contribute to the growing of exodus of families with children? is this legislation match the mandates that affordable housing be personal and enhanced and neighborhood character about preserved and protected. if you can't fully answer those questions i urge you inform return to for study and recommend an eir under

sequa. thank you. >> >> next speaker. >> my name is kathy i'm also a native san franciscan. i'm a former san francisco school teacher accrual san francisco volunteer i've lived in all my life i raised my children in the city i'm against the current legislation because one 0 single rented units with buildings with multiple apartment will be turned into short time rentals. this willes bat the extreme shortage of affordable housing and of long term housing in the city actually what i meant to say. the whole city will be rezoned turning homes into guest homes and - secondly, grossly

unfair to hold landlords accountant to rent control and allow the tenants to profit without restriction or permission from the landlord or from other tenants in the building. by the tame token a landlord should in the be allowed to circumvent it by turning it into a short term rental and finally yes. i realize he also this is a new economy changed by the internet but regulation needs to be put in place and zone needs to be replaced and health and safety issues address and liability insurance required. i urge this committee to make the long term needs of our city residents a priority over and over the

profit making of short term rentals thank you. >> to my left. >> hello, i'm sarah with the housing rights committee i want to thank you, supervisors so far trying to take on regulation in this industry. i think the 90 days is a really good measure. i think it's important that nonprofit groups as well as the city be able to sue violators because right now it is taking the city it's all right illegal and taken nonprofits like the tenants union to sue violators so endorse it and san francisco over 70 percent of residents are tenants. and most of the folks here i have not heard people saying hi, i'm a tenant of san francisco. we see tenants

assessment who only rented their room for a weekend or maybe render it for two months and they're all getting evict. and if you make that legal you need to make it legal for tenants as well as homeowners and landlord for the legal other 70 percent of san franciscans. because right now tenants are getting evicted all the time for using the service even if they're actually sharing their homes. and then let's talk about the thousands of units that landlord have been taking off the market some of two and three bedroom apartment and let's talk about tenants that can't find a place not only eviction because rents are too high my friend who has a

young child and shares the bedroom with the child because she can't move families of 4 lincoln in single room occupancy rooms because - >> thank you. thank you. next speaker. >> hi, i'm peter i'm surprised to hear what the people are saying but i mean home sharing is great and helped me and many people around the world to make connections and be in a city that they love for its neighborhood and cafes and music for the parks for everything so i mean, i came into the city 0 thirty years ago and happy to be in a big victorian home and
