instance, i look at the possibility you'll be pitting neighbor against neighbor with people thank you for the opportunity others in and pitting landowner against landowner those conflicts could really harm the city i in terms of the city taxes i agree with the other speaker with the additional number of people that are brought into san francisco who wouldn't otherwise come because they wouldn't like the hotel experience the city is not suffering. thank you very much i urge you to walk cautiously in this area (clapping.) i'm just going to say if i want to express approval or disapproval you do so in a way that's not automobile thumbs up

that it soda empty for several years my children are grown it is unused space. i'm semi retired this makes it possible to continue to live in this very expensive city. which i've grown to love so much over the last 25 years. i love the idea of using an asset and being able to offer visitors in a place where there's no hotels i have an elderly come up that are living one block away with children they have their own place. this is also an economic committee i want to make a couple of economic points i have been to afford a cleanerer and she also comes and changes the guest room

in addition, i buy supplies food and breakfast it from a local grocery store opt the library so i'm helping the city multiple this thousands of other hosts and the economic impact is substantial so hvrz is going for katrero hill and the city of san francisco. >> thank you. next speaker. hi, i'm paul my wife and i own a small jewish company open for four and a half years we accident in the height for of years we opened our deli driver's license we weren't looking to get rich only wanted a local business and it's harder

and harder to do in this expensive city we know several people participate in home sharing it allows them to invest children i know another person that had a failing business they had enough money to keep their business going because of home sharing. the people tend to spend a little bit more and come to a neighborhood they're asking me about the other businesses i'll see them coming and go to the other businesses and in the middle of the week we don't have a lot of offices by us and not a lot of draw that puts us over the edge from making money and not making known money. like i

said, we don't have a lot of tourist so every little bit helps i'm glad they come to the neighborhood. >> thank you very much. next speaker. and good afternoon. i'm sharpening i don't think no one i live in katrero hill i'm a homeowner i host my unit and travel for businesses about once a month it was a way to make extra money. i'm sure you're aware of costs are going up and property taxes and other things and my income has remained the same i struggle as a single person it's been a positive addition for the extra $1,200 a month to apply to my expenses i don't run over 90 days i don't

have a problem with the limits i know that one size doesn't fit all this commission needs to be careful about grouping things across the board air b and b is a global business they've done tremendous things for the economy their office are close, in fact, my hosts are the people young business travelers and katrero is booming we have change.org and so many new startup companies and no hotel facilities maybe like fifth and howard there's a need for

travelers both toufrldz to travelers to be able to walk to the businesses and be able to support us and lastly this is a global business and issue san francisco needs to look at other businesses and criticize. >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> hello, i'm louie own a wine bar south of market and here to support the air b and b as a super bowl 50 i benny think that not looking at accident numbers but the other cities like san francisco is not a great on the scale i know it's a good thing and gives facilities for people

traveling in those neighborhoods that you won't find hotels. i think air b and b a has trouble in upper their somehow competing with hotels but when we talk to e air b and b consumers we see the profiles of the customers is not the same so i don't think that's reasonable competition but this city needs places for people to stay not everybody wants to stay in the middle of the city so it's important to support those and help the small businesses. >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> hello, i'm linda i live in district 11 near balboa park i've been part of the home

sharing community for the past two years. the house i'm currently hosting is in actually across the border in daily city i hope to be able to use my current home in a home sharing capacity when my husband retires and we're traveling we choose this type of r0ir789 we needed a flexible schedule we have 4 children that could not food to live in san francisco we have 13 grandchildren that are getting ready to go to college we need more income to have a flexible way to approach home sharing and helping to screen the people has been invaluable this house wouldn't be on the market for a

full-time rental our children have to use it part of the year this has allowed us the flexibility to do that sort of thing. i agree with the other speakers the neighborhood like southern part of the san francisco don't get tourists and when they do it's because they're close to the rental property we can telling me tell them how to get clipper cards we incite them to neighborhoods they wouldn't have known about last week, we hosted a family with a young disabled child i needed this kind of a adequate neighborhood investment to stay in san francisco a hotel wouldn't have deny it there are many reasons why people do that.

>> thank you very much. next speaker. >> good afternoon. i've lived in san francisco for 10 years now i'm a homeowner i this live in my home and chosen to human resources or housing authority i representative a lot of districts in san francisco where homeowners only have a single-family unit and to they're the home share it with other people and whatever the argument it is incredibly hard to make the case this is the group if engages that somehow puts the home sharing distributors their neighbors or somehow takes off the market units that would be on the rental market i want to urge you to amend the legislation to

amend the single-family homes and not have restrictions on the registration requirements thank you. thank you very much. next speaker. >> i want to take the opportunity. i'm speaking today as a senior citizens living in the sunset in a single-family home and a landlord for the post legislation is problematic in that all my current tenants under rent control have signed a lease it puts landlord against tenants. i've had problems with tenants renting out their apartments it's rent controled they rent it for above what they pay i'm not you've never seen a

air b and b advertised for $2,500 a month i get complaints about noise i'm responsible for the building and it put me at risk for damage and i don't own those those people are here i'll come to the building and find strangers with keys and when i ask where the tenant is they say their away for the week it put me at liberty when i'm 0 responsible for the health and safety of the other attendance. i'm concerned it self-talk about how the property is listed on the registry i believe that my property should not be listed without prior written consent and the idea of visiting the

owner of the building that the unit is up for registration that's an after the fact thing and a notification could be missed in the mail there's many reasons why i - >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> my name is andrew the san francisco tenants union we have this chant we say air b and b you can't evict me the city folks say; right we have a housing crisis but really an eviction crisis sro tenants are being evicted because of air b and b right now short time rentals are illegal i'm shocked to see how many people are here public library to say they're urging air b and b service illegal. and, of course, here

because air and b and b needs to be regulated but this legislation doesn't do enough. at the tenants union we're pushing for anymore accountability there's talks about the concerns of how this is regulated one thing that's not in the current legislation we're suing landowner which are using air b and b and no part in the legislation for the city to enforce if the dbi or planning commission didn't do the enforcement themselves. lastly there needs to be some protects for tenants being evicted by landlord to convert their buildings into air b and b tenants that used air b and b and the landlord are using this as an excuse to evict them we need more tenant protection

around attendance that are unknowingly be evicted and i keep hearing about the affordability crisis this cross-examination crisis is created by a free market capita lynching and won't be addressed by the false home sharing for the market - >> thank you. >> hi, i'm tony i'm the senior disability action that advocates for seniors and people with disabled. it's interesting how this is being framed the home sharing as if there's a philosophy philanthropic there's some density not being seen in years. there are tenant protects that should be in this as has

been mentioned it is illegal venture and the thing that gets me, you have so much money lost i understand it's tens of million dollars i've heard $100 million plus i'm not sure what the exact dollar amount is but if we're talking about sharing why not start there for goodness sake the people are sharing they're not talking about all the money the city has lost and working as a tenant advocate there are many people that have lost their housing good people on account of air b and b and the other hosting platforms and nobody seems to be concerned about that it is this false sense we're sharing and being philanthropic in this

incredible nonsense, you know, i'm tired of being hoodwinked and tenants and elderly tenants that couldn't be here and tired of being evicted and going through, you know, being having to live through this climate of fear that is happening in the city. so i know, i'll be for a continuance there are things about this that are still unclear the tenant - >> thank you and if i could note one thing there are some people that have spoken we've not called their cards i see people in line he i'm sure i haven't called our card we want to be fair to people otherwise everyone can get in line so i'll ask people to respect that.

>> next speaker. >> my name is jean in aim here to support home sharing i live in brunner heights and moved here since 1992 more than 22 years. nibbling i rented my place for 19 years. and i an opportunity u thank you for the opportunity to buy my unit about 3 and a half years ago around the same time because the economy had gone down any company reduced my salary by 10 percent so for those reasons i had to go to home sharing i didn't use air b and b nirnl e initially without the home sharing income i couldn't afford

my mortgage, the property taxes, the condo duce that rise the insurance rates as well as any repairs i have to do on my unit. i'm a hosted i host my guests that means i don't rent my place when i'm not around only an extra room when i don't have my own personal guests all families visiting me from overseas. anyway, i would like to say i'm opposed to the 90 day limit for hosted home sharing and i would not like my unit to be public library available in the registry because of my personal safety and my privacy. thank

you. >> hello, i'm alison i host an air b and b since 2012 when my husband and i were trying to get pregnant i wasn't able to get pregnant and at the same time i took a 10 percent reduction at the hospital it they cut my shift and laid off my husband. incorporated for us to pay our mortgage we opened up our extra room a painting room it's not been removed from the rental market because we wouldn't rent it out full-time to a regular person we decided to try air b and b and it helped us get through we continued to home

share we host quite a bit i'm opted to the 90 day limit we're saving up money for an adaptation i might adapt a grandchild at this point we enjoy hosting and host staying in the flat with our guests we don't allow people to stay in our home when we're not there. i support the legislation and really think we need to find something that works for the tenants and landowner my parents are landowner and it's not right for people to take advantage of their rental property to evict other people or not to make money above and beyond what the landlords are chairing i think i speak for a lot of the people in

the community we want to make sure what works for our community i'm passionate about this city thank you. >> thank you. >> next speaker ami to call a few other cards as we (calling names). >> i'm resetting my time i'm victor i support home sharing

i've been an expire for about a year and a half as of now we share our home fully legally and everyone this stays in our house has been vested they fill out applications and get involved with the local community donating to nonprofits and getting involved with the local businesses my landlord is in favor of this and we're in favor of the home sharing that is fair to landlords this huge economic by the people we've got people traveling to san francisco 3 otherwise would stay in a hotel and pay a huge preempt and be forced to stay less than a month we've got a great feeling of the community of togetherness and building trusts of cultures

around the world i've hosted over 25 criticize and built amazing relationships and continue to stay in touch with them they've been rupture visitors to my home and it's a great togetherness of the community i hope to build in the future and with respect to local laws and local interests so definitely in support of home sharing would appreciate some fair legislation to make it legitimate and representative of all the interests in the city. thank you. >> good afternoon. my name is david gruber i'm president of the coalition for better housing i appreciate the effort gone into the legislation
