it basically encourages people to take those away to away from people and rent them out on a short-term basis and the 90 days to rent out a room is greater than than you would get in 12 months from another tenant so i think without a real answer to that legislation this shouldn't go forward it would be a crime to effect affordable housing without a response to that issue is it needs to be dealt with or we're making a big mistake to proceed with that legislation at this point thank you very much. >> you thank you very much. next speaker. >> i'm antonio lee he was here last week and i wouldn't believe

how some of the issues that are most pertinent to this i'm glad that a lot of people are mentioning that this time as well as opposed goal of that short-term rental is to help people why not why can't they make a little bit of extra money it doesn't - while we do that the very people that don't have a place to live are hurt equally so if you have 10 thousand rooms that could become bedrooms in san francisco you have someone allowed to do the airbnb thing now all of a sudden that person can make $3,000 a month rather than $3,000 at this point it becomes let's say 7 thousand rooms 10 thousand rooms fighting not

10 thousand but 7 thousand it's basic economics prices are going to increase in the meantime, people come up and give their story i'm sympathetic i'm in the exact same boat but while you help those folks that have a place to make that infrastructure little money while the prices increase the person that doesn't have a place are going to be the ones hurt the second point importing ability if you live in a place and you move out your lease ends clear law right now landlords and owners cannot enforcing enforce that i love minimizing and i love getting rid of - >> thank you very much. next

name he said whatever you use a name it doesn't change the use short-term rentals didn't mean it's a home use truly the rent control for a tourist is a commercial activity our tax law and insurance policies treat those are a commercial activities there are a number of notifications required when this happens in maya residential neighborhood every conditional use in every residential neighborhood requires the notification even if property owners and the notification even if neighbors within 3 hundred feet the legislation as currently written is the only item in the planning code that didn't require the notification of neighbors to say this doesn't effect the quality of life isn't true in granting rapids michigan

into require notification of the neighbors within 3 hundred feet airbnb requires this is a reasonable request i ask for your time and consideration it should not be rough (clapping.) >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi, i'm a single-family home owner for the past seven years in berry natural heights i have 3 kids born and raised in san francisco we've been using airbnb and home exchange for the past five or six years for vacation or during the summer we went to the national park and my city kids were able to sleep fltsdz stars for the first time we had a canada couple stay austin at our home and take care

of our cats and bring in the mail, etc. and have the native local san francisco experience they wouldn't have grolg gotten from a hotel so i'm imploring you not to put a cap on the 90 days my kids are going to be going to college and each one of the kids go to college i'm hoping e hoping to rent out their rooms to pay for their tuition it's going to be harder for our kids to be able to live here when they get a degree from college to live here i wish you won't penalize the folks here and you wouldn't limit it to 90 days otherwise we can't afford

to live here any longer. >> i'm sorry what's you're a name. >> tracey. >> good afternoon from the apartment association i wanted to comment a little bit on wants can onlytion of our rent control stock the possibility of this happening if we make mistakes in this protective process currently, we don't encourage people to rent for less than 0 thirty days we kick those folks under the bus we 0 don't understand how it's okay for the tenants to do that but not owners the second part of it we have to draw a limit at 90 days in not then there goes the rent control housing stock we have to draw a limit off no more than 25 hundred units if we

don't there goes the housing stock we're not talking about rooms in single-family homes we're talking about register housing if a homeowner wants to rent a room out in their home that's their business if the neighbors are okay with that but when you're taking entire rent control housing units off the market for one day or 90 days i just think that's wrong and in the whole rent control scheme and it seems like this body wants to do that near the what and if you do please make a definitely limit of a minimum or maximum of 90 days and let's make sure that enforcement is kept up in this area thank you very much. >> thank you very much. next speaker.

miriam g or nelson g. okay. i'll call the next batch of names (calling names). >> dear committee my partner is owner occupier of the. >> i'm sorry what's our name, sir. >> antonio carr oil. >> my partner is an owner occupier in the outer sunset we use one of the rooms for hosts short-term hosting we san diego

- we disagree with the type of registry our suggestions are let the airbnb shoulder the responsibility of the sharesers collect for the city and report suspicious activities by businesses share the extension of the remittance of taxes the city collects the revenue for the concerns neighborhood associations that rules are already in place and enforced why not include language in the legislation supporting the agreement landowner accountability is in current legislation for the safety and security of the tenants and their property those are the responsibility of the landlord

unfair tenant evictions are on ongoing problem it's so by the multitude of factors and solutions as for hotel workers according to san francisco travel between 2010 and 12 hotels have increased their occupancy recite rate of 2.3 percent i want to thank you for your consideration and urge and trust that common sense will prevail. >> thank you very much. next speaker. and michael patterson take two 20-year resident with my wife jerry ca can and daughter we've been doing home sharing to raise money for her college education i heard a number of speakers

opportunity to comment i'm holly a single-family home and home sharing in the district hoouns are committed a raising a naming family in san francisco we home shared to bridge the cost of living gap and pay our property tax and also allows us a little bit breathing room for those unexpected expenses like trimming the trees out in front of our hois house there's two provisions i'd like to see amended i'm sure you've heard this but i'd like to go on the record as well in terms of i'll note no cap on the number of days i share my home we only rent during the summer and holidays that can exceed 96 days as a homeowner i should obey to

use my home as and fit i live in my home full-time and the second piece is the public reggie have no problem registering whatsoever but my private information should only be available for the city and you can see my information it encourages vigilants there should be a way to handle complaints and furthermore, i understand there's talk of reporting twice a year i think once a year should be enough and i also wanted to deliver those fair to share petitions that were signed by 4 hundred people and 4 thousand citywide i want
