important to understand that we're talking about your citizens of this city who care just as deeply as anyone else about those issues of affordability and evictions and the housing crisis. regarding the housing criticized is horrifies all of us hosts that people are being evicted and their units are turned into air b and b units what's the actual daylight because my understanding is that ellis act out units it's illegal to turn around and are we talking about out short term or long term so if the law is being broken that's a law that's currently on the books that's not being enforced so it is a very tough

legislation you have here. i am grateful it supervisor david chiu as brought this forward. i don't envy. >> thank you >> next speaker. >> good evening excuse me. i'm sorry is sarah a i'm here to speak in favor the home sharing i'm 67-year-old i work in patrick heights. i would like to go on and tell my story by a what it's done to my life i should write an article to the new yorker. this issue that's particularly in the legislation you've heard this in particular i have a few comments to make about the number of days i've been thinking what's the right number and i was on this evening as listening is that i rent out

my own home not on the housing market. and i rent it out when i don't need it for myself i would like to not have a restriction on the number of 90 more than 90 seems fair but 90 too little. >> and i think the registry is the other concern i'm american people single woman living alone and want firewalls between the registry and the people anybody looking at up to find when i'm going to be home and where the tv is if they want to steal that. in some ways ensley in my case my being able to human resources my flat ticketed to

omaha because most likely if i couldn't in the way you can now i wouldn't rent it out it would be a home for someone else i would put it on the market it would be 5 or 10 people over bidding i driving up the cost of housing in my neighborhood thank you. >> next speaker >> good afternoon. i'm a resident of san francisco for 16 years i've been living in my current home in district that i rent out one or two room we blocked it with a sliding door it is listed as one which the 5 house entire homes in reality it is not it's still part of the

house where i live and am present the entire year. the second point i want to make is our house is a flat roof with an unbrushed place the company came to look at my house and the conclusion it didn't make financial sense to install doors you need to continue in order to be sustainable so knowing when the house is occupied we move to affordable energy. this encouraged me and made it possible to provide jobs to local businesses a house cleaner and window washers. with home sharing i have incentives and raised funds and installed

security cameras. i also wanted to let you know that supervisor kim regarding the 90 day cap i believe within society has a lot of urban used resources and i've struggled to maintain them and on to find. the need for the parties to meet has been here for a long time. i don't see a need for the 90 days thank you, thank you very much. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> good evening my name is is a silva. >> i share my home with my family speeding i can't afford to live in san francisco because i have a good job in the hotel

industry. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> why i live for where i work for 11 years. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> but the for houses into hotel rooms. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> my family is going have a hard time staying here. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> please fix this legislation. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> so it didn't threaten my job. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> and so my family didn't have to move out. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> supervisors itself promoted

legislation goes too far to rezone to automatically permit short term rentals and the legislation didn't go far enough it didn't require it san francisco-based air b and b passing pay back taxes why they can't afford to pay taxes to the city but why the city it letting them get away with them air b and b is a corporation they're hiding behind hope it's broken the law and in encouraging other people to on the terms open the website tell owe people to make sure their use t is legal there's terms about the shiners which the representative glided

all over they're on this specifically. currently, we ask for discretionary review we have a hearing where no one wants to open a bed-and-breakfast or hotel. the conscionable use of a spare bedroom is being turned into a great business opportunity while a number of san franciscan do short time rental illegal many of them state they need the money there are a few other businesses in san francisco that are illegal that can be legalized they need the money supervisors if i don't want to get into 210 east the landlords and tenants person should be a requirement i'm sure many super bowls would like you to expedite laws to get rid of

permits and they would like to have the structure your proposing thank you. >> next speaker >> hi hello, i'm been an air b and b host since 2008 the company started in 2008, i currently have 4 businessmen's if bedrooms in my home i make a living from it i have over one thousand 1 hundred guests i make it work i stat sat my neighbors down also single-family homes and got their advances permission and blessing to do it. my guests say hi to the neighborhoods i neighborhoods i called my home shiners guy to my establishment my curiosity

insurance can be adapted i'm a hardcore air b and b fan since 18 when air b and b had 90 zero employees. >> thank you. >> good evening. i'm jim there will a local member and a downtown hotel worker those compete with the hotels i'm a member of the board of directors and we're having a lot of problems are a short time rentals in our condo project those registration is so lucrative they're willing to evade our hotel type of rentals we don't have the staff to monitor them we have numerous people in the building we no

longer know that are violating our rules and regulations and when we catch them on this video we can't identify because no one knows where they're living so the legislation as proposed is going to be difficult to enforce i live in a building where it's going on i pay attention to my neighbors and still not able to help the association enforce the rules thank you very much. >> to my left. >> i heard what i was going to say until i heard one how does less than that (laughter) i live in the western edition. my story is no different than some of the things you've heard here today. i'd like to approach it another way as home sharing and i'm one of those we offer the city a new source of tax

revenue. i've stated to the planning commission the tax revenue should be used to create a public-private partnership. that money should go into a special fund to build housing. we're talking about a forward thinking a new economy this is a new tax laws that's pass new ones and apply them to that when i say tax revenue i'm talking about approximately $22 million annually and that's afro-probable from air b and b alone the mayor talks about becoming nor aggressive in creating housing this well, new off and on source of revenue is a way to do that. the more you allow us to home share the most tax revenue the city will get.

and we will be able to achieve what we need to achieve quickly last week, i hosted someone from the netherlands he wanted to know about the legislation he's a sitting judge they're dealing with home sharing i explained everyone to him his jaw dropped the only issue there is the issue of insurance. he couldn't believe we were talking about the number of days. >> next speaker >> love the idea of using new revenue to build housing i'm defied thomas my wife and i are long time san franciscans we support supervisor chiu's

proposal so many people find in those difficult times that sharing their understated condominium on house is the only way to afford to stay in san francisco. we have a longer tenant a couple would be out of lucky without air b and b rents i don't want to evict them maybe software engineers we believe our tenant should obey to host for as many days as they want i irrational commenting were here don't insist on a 90 day limit for short time rentals that will put folks out on the street i urge you to broadened the proposal to help mohammed owners of 2 and 4 unit buildings why in and out allow one unit to be used for short time rentals.

problems tend to disappear when the owner is on the premises. one more things for supervisor kim. i appreciate the push back you gave to air b and b regarding their opposition to reasonable enforcement procedures it's unfortunate they're taking those steps. one more things supervisor chiu's proposal can have a positive order to the market and supporting neighborhood businesses and providing much needed revenue for the city we all love thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good evening supervisors. my name is rose i'm a hotel working

i've worked in the hotels for 33 years air b and b threatens my job please stop and address those problem before you pass the law. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker. arrest hello, i'm a residence of san francisco for over 25 years. i worked for a nonprofit here in the city providing services to survivors of the domestic violence. and as anyone here in the city knows when nonprofits operating with limited budgets none of our staff including myself are earning a living wage to afford housing in the city so i spoke with my landlords and asked them about sharing i current live in a 4 bedroom fair

statement about permission from my landlord i live there with my partner we share long-term and short term, in fact, it's allowed the parents of my downstairs neighbor to visit after they're new born baby my landlord is coming this next month to stay and has a plays to stay in their own building they know their building is taking care of the rent control unit and everything is can work i only ska ask for fairness in this process. >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> i'm deborah a third generation san franciscan prove or disprove in san francisco my

family owns multiple apartment houses in san francisco it's disconcerting and the take away after 5 hours of listening is the aspect of insurance. and in multi unit apartments air b and b insurance is not covered for rental units. i heard the gentleman from air b and b saying they have a mill dollars policy this is basically an insurance policy the host guarantee only affords coverage to a host it owns 50 percent of the condo home or apartment so the tenant of an apartment unit is not favored the coverage so the apartment owner is not afforded shrns this policy of

inclusions includes the agreement or other units within a complex for similar type of development to the extent e stent owned in part other than by air b and b host and my common area or easement in the associated with the dwelling located in a dwelling structure of complex or similar owned patricia by you clearly my apartment unit is not afforded any form of insurance and the department does have an interest in the unit and furthermore if you accept to the air b and b host terms or warrant you have

to. >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> good evening. i'm robert i'm a homeownership in district 8 in 2013 i changed jobs and accepted a lower position and after the decreased income i needed to learn my homer i understand that san francisco has a avenue process but i do not building that the housing problems are the problem. especially on a modest income i have not had a problems are housing this is to a rapidly

social normal fafld by owners this home sharing allows us to stay here we work with the nonprofits or arts field we make the city a desirable city to visit my hosting didn't degrade the characteristic of my neighborhood i explained to them why in my neighborhood is unique i encourage them to become a part of it it doesn't remove the housing i don't wish to be a permanent landlord. thank you very much i don't time to take up more of your time. >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> hi my name is ross thank you for taking up this issue and

supervisor wiener thank you for calming calling my name. everything i was going to say i had a rehaersz speech on any cell phone but it died (laughter) i have insurance i am a homeowner i had a similar case to the gentleman i have an umbrella policy i own my own house that's different from a multiple unit building the registry is offensive sits for sex criminal i shouldn't be on the registry my grandparents escaped horrors they were on a

registry because they were part of the unwanted group. just a homeowner own my own home i show be able to do things that are legal and pay taxed and trim the trees. also with the 90 day cap i take off offers to that this is my home i hope to retire and need the income i would ask the flower shops or taxis drivers or chain stores to limit their revenue i don't think it's fair to do that 0 homeowners. >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> hi, i'm neil thank you for hearing us tonight. >> i will in the mission district i support home sharing

i've been a homeowner for 9 years my wife and i employee employees so after 10 years of being in business a lot of the money go back into the business we raise a daughter who is that 13 months old. i am concerned about the privacy issue no address or name should be tied together on and on oil to make it easier for criminals as well as endorsement use the platforms anything t is possible. and there's one thing in terms of san francisco you won't be able able to stop this i encourage you to step forward and let's

workout the details together thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> i'm richard one thing i found in my neighborhood is that the small businesses actually were hurting because of the high tech that are gone down south and businesses were going down and people that be going to the vacation registration are using the local businesses there's an angle where it is helping another thing the study you based our legislation on i used two examples one is a 6 bedroom and one small apartment in hayes valley their zero 6 bedrooms an air b and b the reason you use that it shows a greater spread between rental rates and short

term you shouldn't be using that to make a case and one one hundred percentage rental almost no one is seeing the rentals notaries republic no one is doing one hundred percent not even hotels you should be using a study that is bans a skewed example let's see what other notes. in terms of you don't have means testing as i understand because of the privacy rights yet there is no concern with invading privacy reporter for this legislation you should look at it if it's effecting the rental stock and apartments are renting 4 and 5 thousand bucks for a unit the argument that's being

made how their effecting affordable housing is being strongly overstated and you're trying to use staff - >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> hi supervisors. i'm so on draw a hormone in the triangle my son and i have lived there 17 years i'm single and my son and i host gifts in our home after my husband moved out we use my master bedroom i quickly learned how kind and appreciative people can be to genuine hospitality our world exploded with probability and my son has seen
