(calling names). >> good afternoon, supervisors i'm jim marks i live in the district 9 supervisor campos and i'm a homeowner there we've owned our home for about 20 years we also do airbnb my wife and i are retired we've faced family emergencies in the also year and a half our son had moved out of the area our younger son so we felt that airbnb would be perfect for us it would give us the flexibility to have the place vacate for our old son and his wife and friends from seattle that's what we've

dysfunction in terms of the area we who not have or be available for long term rental in the home we own so have people from many different places i was a student in upper many years ago so i speak comberm and french so when people talk i ask respond to people in their language we have our guests on a hosted basis not only do they get to know us and we them we feel if there's problems we're on top it a of it some guests stop by and say hello limiting our rental to 90 days will, in fact, be a total disaster this is trying to kill one way or another what we're

doing my other concern a registry i want to make sure our privacy is preserved my registration cciiy that didn't preserve our privacy is not a registry i'll support thank you thank you very much. next speaker. >> hi, i'm ivan a and it that sounds familiar i sent you all an e-mail last week thank you supervisor wiener for responding i know it was read i won't through go through all the points but reiterate mrs. go put a 90 days or any limits on the home sharing i'm a home sharer and a better neighbor because of it i'm

quieter and sweep our front stairs my neighbors appreciate that we host because their families sacrifices in our room when they come to invest and there's distinction between rental laws when our an owner occupier you can ask the roommates to leave without a just cause versus a flat comparing our situation to portland portland housing stock is different primarily single-family homes and only 6 percent is three or four unit buildings that's very different from here and lastly i'd like to comment an supervisor kim's concerns about how to track the number of the nights you can ask

us i'm not sure she's hearing us but as supervisor wiener pointed out every time we drive our car we have a license and you have to trust of person that is protectiveing otherwise not trust the system. >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> hi, i'm witting hydraman, i'm in support of home sharing i love home sharing it's how i met 3 of my best friends in the city hosted by one of them and one a former guest the sharing economy allows for inthoen our city and community and the reputation of this city and home sharing is evolving and getting refinanced be please give home sharing the approach the opportunity to improve so we can make the motive other out of this

activity having a public registry is a violation of my rights it will support the neighborhood militaries i'm shocked it's required because the public registry is to the proper while self-reporting every two years is excessive this is an incredibly complex issue but get the few simple places correct no public registry and no cap on the 90 days please don't render this legislation infeven effective with alleged or additions like the public registry. >> thank you good afternoon. i'm linda i'm a 45 year resident of san francisco i've been a tenant and

most recently a homeowner but for the last 2 and a half years i've been mart of the home sharing because my hoouns have a property in the city where we've been able to do this without restrictions hosted people from all over the world for people that testified earlier about the experiences with children we provide strollers and baby equipment that sort of thing this is the kind of people we have staying in the home we can't do this as a full-time register this is why the flexible sharing is so important this house will not going it on the long term rental market because it has a large mortgage

in my hoouns want to travel we can we have a right to do those sorts of things as long term residents of san francisco and people that contribute hundreds and hundreds of hours of volunteer work and are invested in san francisco it feels like an insult to be told you have 90 days to do this if i choose to flexibility home sharing is one of the ways we'll be able to have a quality of life and we will be able to help our children and grounded children with the income we need we have a very large owner being a homeowner in san francisco so to limit this to 90 days is a hardship we want to maintain the wonderful viability of bringing up guests to san francisco. >> thank you very much. next
