shopping bags and the fruit boxes and the comments they leave when they review us it's for those reasons i'm asking you to not put the limitations on the number of days we can rent by the way, i carry a policy of one million dollars for liability and i'm in support of the hotel taxes that yes, i did. >> new revenue for the city thank you, sir >> hi, i'm brous b i wanted to give a kind of valuable to my vacation i'm a single-family home owner we've got 22 reservations a earning host since february 6th months so far

we've had zero complaints from our neighbors they like having us having our airbnb room open so some of the new family members can come and invest and stay with us locally we're in a neighborhood that has no hotels or by the evidenoard of directo one is kate she came from erlgd they stayed with us for a bus that's nearby you'll see the common theme in my presentation jennifer came to stay and her friend was getting married so

because we rely on actual transcriptions a lot of the phrasing was inaccurate that this is an important hearing i was shocked by some of the responses from the room the staff were giving visually excuses why san francisco can't say that some economic or health and safety as this develops hundreds of years ago when epa desks were recognized he holes were made to change their sheets every traveler who checked into a hotel the police officers looked at the charts to see if a criminal was in the area if a

hitman decided to use airbnb and which the pink mustache travels around and gets out of town and elizabeth we were through ebola someone can sneak out of liberia and using the same housing transmit the diseases this is a scary situation and the people are using the terms home sharing is a farce thank you. >> thank you. >> hi, i'm loraine a registered voter and i'm opposed to changing the language of the

short-term rentals it's clear to me and potential most of us a lot of thought needs to go into this by the way, before we really make enormous changes i've already had - they've had an enormous effect on our housing stocky think the transz convenient hotels should be regulated with close supervision i see from following the media this is is going to take an enormous amount of money to enforce i don't think what i've heard is specific enough even the high figure of $12 million i've heard you can probably do you believe that it wouldn't cover the amount of workload on our city

departments another one of any issues is the zoning for transparent convenient short-term rentals i'm under the idea this should be limited to the tourist easier there's a rush to sell every neighborhood in san francisco this is detrimental we could turn our city into the first city sized theme park in the country and lastly i have sympathy for the people that have the place they live in they're being used against their wills to provide protective a false legitimacy to the investors for the buildings. >> thank you, ms. patty thank y you. >> hello supervisors i'm bruce

alison representing for the record magazine we're opposed to or an i know of 12 units in the fox plaza that are being used this way and i know about one hundred others i'd be willing to give you their names and addresses if you're interested thank you for at least putting some at least on this thank you. >> thank you, mr. alison. >> hi, i'm pam i live in katrero hill for 2 years the home sharing i'm able to stay home with my baby he's about 3 and a half motherhood

and we've had housing for our family and if it weren't for home sharing we couldn't be able to afford to stay especially in the katrero hill area additionally our guests provide business for the local businesses like in katrero hill there are not a lot of hotels and the restaurants appreciate it that's it. >> thank you pam thank you little one thank you. >> good afternoon. i'm president of the small property owners of san francisco i talked about transparent we believe the

registry should be public they're open for everyone there are a couple of other items that are important the first is section 37.9 that covers evictions it says the tenants is a using this is a just causes permitting a rental unit for being used for an illegal purpose the landlord shall not endeavor to recover this that's procedure within thirty days this is given pricing rise to violating our leases this is wrong and should be removed if the code on page 11 line 3 owner includes my person as the record of property as used in chapter four 1 a the term owner includes a

lessee where they're offering the unit for guests this is only for a month to month lease and for enforcement we self-confident there's a reasonable line of enforcement before we recommend this. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors i wanted to start off by reminding folks about some of the laws in the city we have a condo conversion and an sro conversion law that have been in the books for thirty years we the we have this we value our diversity by maintaining our

rent control shock of housing housing when we lists is gone forever the short-term rentals are being taken off the market or individual bedrooms that are taken off the market i've lived with housemates since 1990 i could and have render out my room on airbnb and have a house mat again, i'm doing my part to solve the housing countries thank you supervisor chiu for putting this dough e tote but the only way it will do as it's is intended to do not lose the housing opportunity meaning a registry that includes the number of days that people rent out their unit not visible but the enforcement agencies so they know with the things are

happening so individuals can enforce we understand the limited capacity of agencies to enforce and that there is a clear 90 day maximum provision for all hosted and non-hosted cases as planning director director ram said there is importance of the clarity of the maximum of days we hope you'll pass this with strong enforcement mechanisms thank you, supervisors. >> thank you, sir. >> supervisors peter connecticut with the housing associations let me add to fernandez comments we're getting there but i urge you supervisor chiu to not rush this forward it's some of the best policies that needs to be done slowly and

a lot of things to get it right a few things we've suggested that needs more attention altitude affordable housing of any types of short-term rentals should be regulated you've done sro's and any kind of affordable housing where we use the dollars for the restriction on line it opens up a legitimate question about the in-law units o were below market rate for folks that need them what kind of unintended kwubz when we allow those to be short-term rentals it's a question they should be regulated another question to actually have hosted and

non-hosted rentals 90 days the 90 day period of short-term rentals is enough frankly more than enough for vacationers to have a place to stay for folks to cover their rents or mortgage or make a few extra bucks 80 but to open it up for a small business that's a different story supervisor kim i asked that request lastly how about treating it as a pilot process. >> thank you before our next two speakers come up i'm going to call the next 10 cards

(calling names) thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors nooichl is leah and i'm a bay area resident the costs continue to arise with the residents struggling to keep up with the rents some of my neighbors have turned some of their bedrooms to keep up with their daily expenses in san francisco airbnb has been a critical source of extra income for many families especially during tax time as they work in a family of two incomes it's difficult in san francisco we realize that renting our home in san francisco when we go out of town it helps to provide a way to go

out of touchback we're able to enjoy and help people in san francisco restrictions on home shoorg would be another below i ask you to act quickly so home sharing is available to more residents. >> thank you. >> san francisco information clearing house speaking in the affordable housing slice here i want to make some points that have been made i'll make mine briefing one it is critically important to amend the current legislation to includes the in-law units in-law units were promised to be a rent control resource for low income people certainly not the categories san

francisco has a step in trying to address did affordable housing issues in this city we have pioneered single room occupancy we va have are a program large on the state of california we have used local money in creative ways to extend the affordable housing opportunity and limit income recipients of that fund to afford the opportunities for san franciscans we think there should be a limitation placed on single room occupancys for the public money for the purpose of creating

housing opportunities for the restricted populations i strongly urge that the question of shiners be addressed it's a question that's necessary to insure that the highest level both the owners of the property at the s c r unit are not the owners or the tenants it's not necessary to stipulate a dollar amount but scripture a sufficient amount of money to be applied - >> thank you, mr. welch. >> supervisors a simple fact you've heard it in testimony and in real estate listing two to three times more lucrative to represent to tourists than people that live and work in the city if you don't put a clear and limited cap certainly in the

morning that 90 days hosting or unhosted the effect of the protective codifies the market conditions to drive up marking costs in the city if it's your intent sell it if that's our intent of the legislation what is the better for the working class in the city is you put a clear 90 days i limit the number of units that this legislation permits over a time period two years, that you can study and see the clakz impacts you know that portland is an interesting compare but portland is a quarter lucrative as san francisco the pressures of housing in this city are more times greater than this kind of activities than in portland that's certainly worth studying and can't hurt anyone from a

sunset clause i urge you to put in a 90 days and limit the number of days in this city thank you, mr. lewis. >> hello, i'm barbara fields my family owns a 27 unit building in noah valley we want our tenants to ask our permission before they became an airbnb host for the safety of our tenants by having people in and out of our building that the tenants don't know it's not safe we want to know who those people are in the, i don't understand how the rent control can go offered on airbnb they're part of the affordable housing and should be kept that way when i have a tenant that pays $500 a

month they can only rent their unit out for $250 a month by changing that and allowing them to make it any another way you make it a hotel basis how can you stay within the rent control laws i'm concerned about the insurance i know that it is not easy to get insurance for a bed-and-breakfast or a vacation rental and we don't have insurance to cover that we're not zoned for that our insurance covers our tenants and long term rentals by making this short term rental you need to get the shiners to cover this and ignite frankly i don't see

how we're going to be obligated to that case this on. >> thank you, ms. fields. >> good afternoon. i'm greg i'm a long time resident in san francisco for thirty years i've owned my home and was one of those who live in their house 3 hundred and 65 days i have a home that's small i don't want to have a roommate i can tell you about the money i've made i'm an architect scott wagner's as well part of the job i've been given to convert properties to restaurants in some cases and in-law units a so forth the process in the city is extremely

expensive and takes forever i'm sorry takes many, many, many months i'm asking for you to do is creating a new category break the mold think outside the box in those cases i can't talk about multiple tenants i agree to some of the points when it comes to insurance like people with my homes there are vehicles and products that it's not an issue so i urge you to please think deeply about it and you know i'm opposed to the 90 days it's really not worth it for me and i hope i look at this issue closely thank you. >> thank you, greg. >> good afternoon, supervisors

i'm e.r. ran i'm here with the anti eviction project i'm here because we all knew we are in the middle a a eviction crisis in san francisco we know that landlords and homeowners are abusing the ellis act to rid tenants and make more money through airbnb we recently discovered the new condo owners don't live in san francisco they're indeed renting their unit as short term vacation rentals and now $11,000 one nor over $12,000 on an airbnb true the data we've been collecting we're finding a

number of evictions are take place in the mission and castro neighbors they're being hard hit we need stricter regulations on enforcement already on the table we know that tenants don't know their rights and the city needs to enforce the regulations better and allow organizations like the tenant union to sue the landlords if their abusing their rentals and we need to look at other subletting it's not going to solve our crisis. >> i'm with the san francisco tenants union one of the things i want to echo my concerns about

enforcement there should be a measure to include the right of action for the nonprofits and citizens to enforce those laws it's clear that dbi and planning will not have the resources to do the enforcement to keep up with the registry and knock on people's doors i'll strongly encourage that and additionally the tenant protections being included supervisor wiener has an amendment to invite the landlords that will help the landlords to stop the evictions because the landlords will know they're using their rooms as rentals so it should be included the protection for the tenants. >> thank you.

good afternoon. i'm sarah with the housing committee this legislation is not ready for at that particular time time we appreciate the intent to regulate this tremendous problem currently, the short term rentals are illegal i want to remind people what's on the table is to legalize it we have to be credibly careful but definition the rentals would have to be limited to a short period of time okay. if there's not then their not short-term rentals if their rental units they have to comply with the rental ordinances so not it to say short-term rentals it will take thousands of the unit off the market that average san franciscans during the extreme housing crisis but it didn't work without the strong

enforcement without the enforcement you're opening the glad gates to offering thousands of short-term rentals is that a solution to the mass control of housing units no, it will not okay to give cart blank it enforcement will not happen without the adequate information reporting the number of days aggressive monitoring and competitive investigation that takes significant resources and most importantly to sue the violators without going through complicated processes first without the strong enforcement mitch's that don't exist we're

not doing anything short of giving away our precious housing - >> thank you ms. short. >> hi, i'm tony i was here last week. >> tony i'm so sorry i didn't call our card we got a lot of complaints last time but thank you for come back. >> i'm brooek turn areer with the coalition of better housing i want to talk about 3 concerns it's important to the city and important to our members of the coalition who rent to san franciscans of every kind 3 issues i would like you to consider we'd like make sure that a monthly rental rate is enforced for the maximum rent to

the unit and an owner of the register should be able to conform that remedy amount and what the renter is representing it out or they can't rent it out at an elevated rate we appreciate we're part of the administrative native process but we believe the owners the buildings should share in the private right of action and we should be listed as such and once again today, i'm going to address the insurance issue and remind you of the flooith migrate of the apartment owners you've received the stack of national press that the insurance issue relative to the airbnb that has gaernd there's no insra
