person we pay the mortgage and property taxes and save money for his is college tuition with our guidance gifts support the businesses and france the cafe and the golden and a half foods and many, many others i've krierlgd many things. our neighbors know us and support our guests because we're quiet we are telegraph hill encouraging guests one thing i wanted to add i've talked to my insurance agrees and i have excellent liability keeping it as a in home business. >> can i ask you you can

finish. >> so i support legislation so regulate and tax short time rentals that will benefit our neighborhood see, however, a proposed cap would be financial devastating in the city limit the number of days we can host i'll lose my studio. >> thank you now i'll ask you a question your hoa policy or what is the policy that you have that covers. >> it's an additional umbrella liability. >> so it's an umbrella over do you have an umbrella that requires an flying. >> do you want to know the specifics. >> no what's the type of policy that covers our short-term rentals we've been hearing there's no product that covers.

>> at first my agent said they can't - he didn't think the agency would cover this i host full-time but you have an in home business we can cover this as an additional liability on our umbrella policy shiners is not my language. >> it's our business policy. >> no a homeowners. >> with a rider on it. >> i think it might be. >> rider. >> they know that i rent both businesses out of my house. >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> good evening thanks for staying late i very much appreciate it. i want to address the shiners issue. so i'm an investigator real estate

investor for about 18 years. and this year covered by business insurance company so it's homeowners insurance if you do a goldstein service the difference between a regular rental and a vacation ail rental is 7 to $800 a year it covers it and a regular homeowners policy. withstand i want to say that a lot of the issues the rent ordinance already covers that people can't make more money than their proposition of the space that ordinance is in place for rent control units so i don't understand the pressing issue and i also would strongly oppose the 90 day cap and the

registry that seems xooefgly overbearing parts of the reason my parents emigrated was to get opportunities and i've done this i was an engineer i still do that but this is an important part ever my life that's come to be because of the opportunities in this country and i'd like to add as a traveler air b and b levels the field i can stay in homes and have access to places where someone as my income i would be relegated to a hotel or room but now that people have generously opened up their homes. >> before i get to the next speaker we've received an influx

of cards (calling names). >> good evening my name is elizabeth i have a multi unit i have one protected tablet unit i've come here to truly understand what the issues that have been shared of the housing in an economy is about i've spent 5 adheres listening to everyone's comments i've deduced there are 3 issues there's private families, homes, there's the rent control units and the

neighborhood issues. and my thoughts on that in terms of what i would be in favor 6 is i do believe whatever rental is coming in from those short-term rentals whether it be from a single-family or multiple unit should be taxed i believe there should be a also been of some sort of maybe a guest permit and go down to the city and is look i'd like a guest permit and i and have the city recorded it if you're in a rent controled unit you must get a signature from our landlord to go down and get a guest permit then the city has the reported that individual

finding i'm in favor of taxing and in favor avenue mandatory written permission from the landlord and promoting increasing personal income and creating business for all the items that people have been talking about i'm opposed to remaining this illegal and limiting days and rezoning and making - >> thank you. >> hi good evening. i'm lisa a third generation san franciscan. i've raised our family and been very active in our city. trying to support and volunteer with charities and in the police

arena as well. i've glutin up and rent in the mission and noah valley. lived there until 8 years ago our home was sold and we were evicted and couldn't afford to live in san francisco so needed to move to the east bay that home has been sold put up for sold 3 times since then we've reason to building it is also being used for home sharing there's a lot of different variances in how people are you're going this it is definitely being take advantage we moved to the oakland hillside and 3 months ago that home was sold and so, now we've moved out to castro valley. i've worked at

the oakland marquee for 21 years and i've seen significant loss of hours and income over the last especially year and a half or so things have really, really changed so i want to say that we love san francisco, we still call san francisco our home and it's sad for us to see some the changes that have occurred and really feel especially sad that people are not being held account and things that could help the charities. >> thank you so much. >> good evening and my name is geobalancing airs a participant of home sharing i'm a renter and

i was a home share but due to me following the laws as well as following my name being called to speak. it's interesting to see and hear everyone speak about okay home sharing and air b and b should do this and that i think everyone in home sharing has got a major stake in sharing their livelihood and sharing the ability to be able to afford to live in this city. i was closed down because and was a renter and my old landlord were very fine with me being with their air b and b the new owners i called them and said come on over let's have a glass of wine

i told them what i was doing but in the prospective of them using the platform and them they would shut down immediately which i did. i had been working with home shares for natives years and stuff it's important to know that i'm very, very having sag hard time struggling to get by now, it's endangering but there's a 91-year-old mom who is helping me to live in the city today yes, sir. it's a very expensive city and yes, my mom don't and supporting me thank you. >> hi, i'm tonya i own a home

in the sunset district someone mentioned google short term rental insurance i did that on my phone. >> can we have sfgovtv all right. there it is. >> my bad all state answers the question pretty thoroughly so people check that out i guess it's not going to come up but you see there; right? >> anyways a lot of what i want to say i have two children's 2 and 3 i have to pay a lot of money for their speech therapy i am a stay at home disabled person the thing that effects me the most in home sharing we all

need to live within walking distance of our synagogue under jewish law you can only observe from friday is saturday at sundown and in the observe there are limited places for them to stay we host visitors all over the place and provide their meals we are unable to are we talking about our homes when we don't have orthodox jews to host i'm in need of financial assistance and not restrict it to 90 days and there not be a public registry thank you very much. >> hi, i'm anita i had

purchased my single-family home in 1996 in 2010, i lost my two instead part time jobs and life was tough out of designation i signed up for air b and b too young to tap into my finances and air b and b has saved me they provide me with a way to have someone watch my home. i spined if days with mire long term folks in richmond i pursue my passion to convert his and another yards into vegetation. this allows me to feel good so if there's things to be

maintained it's nice to have them help me with my builds i'll not be putting my home up for a longer rental because paul and i are not married and it's my official roof over my home i won't be putting it up as a long-term rental the hosts are over 35 and 50 the neighbors love them the nightclubs make friends with them. i really hope you'll allow mow me to continue to do this and not put a cap on the hosted or non-hosted days it will put my life in a bind if you do that thank you very much.

>> it is i'm a single-family home person in sunnyside district close to glen park we rent out a spare bedroom in our home. i tomentd share i'm in favor of the home sharing. we've only been doing the since february of this year it helps us to make our ends meet the reasons why people come to us there is no hotels in gleaning park sunny side hear area the closest 0 hotels are in union square. so one of the specific guests that recently stayed was an interim from jen tech the reason we were selected because of our price and geological location so she could walk down 4 parks and catch the bus and go

to work. i think you've got to look at the reality that the hotel industry does in the serve and fit everyone's needs. secondly, it helps us to pay our property taxes and allows us to eat out and spend nor money locally our guests shop in and around glen park area i don't think your fisherman's wharf will be shopping in glen downtown park. and finally i'm not in favor of the public registry and also open for longer stays than 90 days in closing please vote in favor and bring this is to resolution. i think the grayness has gone on

too long and both sides need an answer. thank you. >> good evening. i've waited almost 5 hours to stand here thank you for your patience and everyone else. i'm katherine lived in san francisco 8 years i've been an owner on katrero hill and definitely support home sharing work asia did not contractor a small business owner when i don't work i joke and is sometimes there's more free between the lapd's the fact i have share a guest room has afforded me to pay my mortgage and keep my house in good order and to support my very

interesting wonderful e claustrophobic wonderful neighborhood with regards to having i have people all over the neighborhood point them to enjoy and often will host friends or family from neighbors so it benefits the local neighborhood, the local businesses i've never had a problem with any of my guests i think the your b and b platform is wonderful i have issues with with regards to the restrictions on the length of time that would be disrupt active and definitely a negative effect on my income certainly force me to lose my house and the registry brings up privacy issues that scares the

with his out of me thank you very much for your consideration. >> hello, i'm john this is t ball the dog. i live in better known no heights in a single-family home and have room for three to four guests and really enjoy hosting people i'm not withdrawing from the market but need help with my mortgage and it's wonderful i went to europe and rented it out 99 percent of the time i think that 90 days is two restrictive maybe 90 days of non-hosted presents but with the hosted presence there needs to be more days

added the revengey concerns me i don't want my name posted and the times when my home is vacant the dmv didn't post my name and address. the only time i've had problems are guests it's when my own friends are staying my home is empty and they decide to through a party and get wild never guests from air b and b time to make is an expression and there to enjoy the neighborhood they love getting out of the tourist area and into the neighborhood and supporting the local businesses and i too have an insurance policy that covers liability and an intraumbrella for $2 million beyond that insurance is not a

concern for me i'll put the top emphasis on getting rid of the registry and at least making that unanimous and not restricting the number of days thank you very much. >> good evening supervisors. my name is matthew thank you for your time listening to all those comments and your time in the legislation i'm a entertainment in the outer sunset and started sharing my home about it is months ago i've had a wonderful experience. since then i have started my own business and been able to employee others fortunately if it wasn't for the times and extra. i wouldn't have been able to do this i'm in complete supports of

home sharing i recommended i move this legislation forward so we wouldn't are i don't know what the word is they wouldn't be discouraged from the high pricing i've seen and experienced offhand sharing our home creates opportunity for creative career opportunities it's a tool i've used and others used to create, you know, new businesses and ultimately create new jobs. last thick and probably the most important i hope that the end goal of all of this is to create it satisfactory healthier community and being able to context and sharing my interests and why i

love this area has done that so well and created priceless friendship thank you for your times go home. >> sue hester you've been registered with the city for over thirty years there's a requirement in city law if you operate a business in san francisco you had a business license because of my law practice it's considered a business so i've been registered what i know about business registration is it it's available optional internally in a tax department no one else can get the registration for me. except the tax department and i think this whole registration issue has been created into a monster for people who don't

understand house the city functions, and, secondly, at the beginning of the hearing there was an important question asked by the supervises about hearing that are about to happen between the planning department and building department i sat in on the two hearings the building department and the general code committee and the members those are the issues that deal with codes in the city they were really struggling with this legislation and couldn't figure out how what code would it be applied the housing code or did planning code they couldn't figure out and those are the specific questions i had what existing requirement are required for those units. how

you deal with limbs that are in the code right now for occupancy. how you deal with excess ability and the one was the fire code they couldn't figure out we have a usual procedure the usual prude is to get - >> thank you. >> hello supervisors i'm scott. and sincelogies my job after sitting on my task force i've learned about the shrgz having participated it's amazing their economically successful is how many insurance requirements and beulah's that are broken and how often they're given a pass if the city the most common is that

everyone is here advocating for this is making money off the home sharing home sharing is fantastic it's allowed people that have an extra home to keep their home and ask as ambassadors and has good effect for people that are clearing entire building that are hotels not recommended as hotels this legislation has some work we've heard concerns it's not in a stated it opens a panning demeanors box without reservations the hotel tax fund is essential towards our arts in san francisco the current air b and b have not been paying into the fund 20 years ago they were

informed they needed to pass the tax before it's passed air b and b must pay the back taxes before it's allowed to continue from there talk to the constituents and people that are urging the services. there can be expectations for people running this as businesses it should be viewed as a business we can have the opportunity and still have revenue to the city thank you for your time. >> hello, i'm sharpening antonio on i live in fisherman's wharf i have been thanking supervisor chiu trying to form a bridge between the two 0 a sides he's done an exceptional job of

a tough issue i support his legislation as is. i want to point out one simple economic fact the home sharing is for people like me that travel a lot people need the space and share it and consume less resources why we all have to have our own home here we go only vacation and instead by sharing we're reducing the amount of all the products that the world needs for a sustainable place from that aspect this needs a lot of the things for the generation to provide. the second issue it's made my neighborhood nor liveable someone else mentions for people like me i work in palo alto that
