excelsior deserves a spotlight and home sharing could do that i hope you'll pass this legislation thank you for your time. >> hi my name is kathy incurring i'm in the castro district i'm a hosted airbnb host and i own my own tic and support home sharing i want to thank you all so much for on the work you're putting into this it must be a difficult task and an important issue thank you, very much several years i was one of the tenants that was looking for a place n to live in san francisco and having a hard time because of airbnb i was able to buy a 3 bedroom tic and have one room

for me and one for a full-time tenant and one for a airbnb there are two few people looking for a place to stay now and i couldn't have done it without the airbnb and as a hosted airbnb i would find it difficult if i had a 90 day restrictions i wounded be able to keep my home with respect to the business use of the property audio haven't seen this but how about the opposition given to the massage therapy and all kinds of things and i wonder in you know there are so many owner restrictions like the registry and the

reporting finally, i think it would be truly be a shame if the hundreds of thousands of visitors couldn't stay in an airbnb in san francisco thank you very much. >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> so my name is john i'm a resident of noah valley we have a house with a in-law unit unit we rent it outstanding out on the airbnb site the people we have our in-laws stay there and our guests are not as disruptive as our in-laws we're both physicians we don't need the money it's a great experience our usual guest is a grandmother visiting their grandchildren i have two quick points i wanted to see point one when you start

collecting taxes from our guests urge you to increase the property tax i have about 5 perris so you're going to get more value and a lot more money for the actual real estate in the city i send about 5 percent more to the city that's if you can have number 2 if you were a landlord i would be thrilled with the service like airbnb i, see the ratings of my parents whether things are clean and the tenants are doing great things the landlord should love this they can see whats going i were a tenant i would love the reviews and we review everyone or every person that stays us

again another good thing a big plus for someone that doesn't need the the money we travel with airbnb all the time now thank you doctor. >> next speaker. >> i am bruce i live in diamond heights for 20 years and mission 12. >> can you speak into the microphone please. my most concerns about the 90 cap i had my parents stay with me their 86 my mom came afro-f for two weeks i helped to raise two of my nephews and had another envelope here and i like the flexibility i have in putting a 90 day cap on when i can and can't have guests would be a burden open me financially and it's not an insurroundable

airbnb has worked out the taxing and payments issues with the city so i don't see 0 how this is a big problem i guess i have one question how likely are we to see a vote before the november election. >> no answer. >> no answer? okay. thank you >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> hi my name is jean new i just not to point out people have been taking in border in their home forever it's been around since the becoming beginning of time and it's been a vessel to match guests that

are a good fit many of us want to rent a room in our own home it is not the role of the city to limit us to a certain amount of days it's new mexico income we need to pay our homes mortgage and our children's education homeowners experience guests they and their families live in your homes and provide local information and steer their guests to the local shops and 0 groeshz grocery stores they stay in san francisco for longer ways we provide the accumulations hosts make their homes safe and safety is uppermost importance we carry the insurance company that covers us for short-term rentals hosts who their, their

homes don't want to operate illegal but without time restrictions they've prouder of the service they offer to their guests and proud that be contributing hotel taxes stuff like that stop the property developers that be ellis acting our worker there's plenty of work to be done but please do put a restriction on folks that are doing home sharing we're happy to provide the city the information they need in the homes we share thank you very much. >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> hi i live in berno heights as a homeowner and lifelong visitor. >> sir, i evaporate called you

yet but it will be in a few minutes. >> hi, i'm bobby lee i think you called me before i begin i want to make sure that supervisor kim gets this 2 hundred and 70 - it's for district 6 and i guess just a couple of points i want to really focus in on the registration that is being put if place i trial building if you make it, too difficult for the registration you want to implement into this new thing we're experiencing online with home sharing that that's going to be forced underground i mean

if it becomes two difficult 40 in registering and i see and people being involved in the money pot craig's list i've all right said if it's too indemnify a techie will create an approach to be able to do this in the lines of being you know within the legislator leg loyalty in references to the permission in a sense being given by the city because of it's registration it comes down to the landlord and tenant i think the functioning aspect of this is below the surface of the knowing -

cutting-edge it works flunl within the city i see that going on. >> thank you there were nelson and eric and katherine b i called bra they're not here okay then i'm going to call the excuse me. the last batch of cards that i have. (calling names) >> hello my name is paula i bought new condominium in the

mission for the last 12 years due to financial hardship i rented a room in my home nobody was evicted this allows me to keep a roof over our heads when i saw the only option to sell and move away in fact, home sharing has helped my family i'm not financially scurry have to rely on the monthly income to stay here home sharing fits us you've heard about the benefits of home sharing for the community the local businesses and struggling families like my own one thing i think it is important to mention it's that by home sharing we're addressing a problem that providing

affordable stacey space for travelers to stay not downtown you take the mission no or yes to hotels that accommodate the amount of visitors we receive we're cafe using the existing resources to accommodate this need i hope you will protect families like mine and support the fair home sharing in san francisco thank you. >> i'm sorry can you repeat our name, again. >> next speaker and hi, i'm sherry i live in district 9 i lived in san francisco and represents the extra room i have

two major issues the 90 day cap and registry i adopt to go into the home sharing that's a helped me in san francisco i shouldn't have to okay. the voices that have come to the meeting regarding the issues the new economy as the united states deals with middle-income families and other issues i challenge i to look at what home sharing provides people are able to eat and clothes their children and pay the mortgage and maintain their homes to hire standards further home sharing allows for increases tourism it give them an opportunity to help with the economy and boosts small

businesses in my neighborhood the grocery stores are utilized we my guests a 90 day cap is bad the cost of living is well above average it's important we rent our space wherever we see fit dave's ways we redescribed that money into the local economy and it's an invafg miss duis use of power we should be protecting people's right supervisors should consider it's not safe to register our personal information your pictures and identity for everyone so see and access. >> thank you very much. >> hi, i'm skate thanks for

having me back i'm encouraged that supervisor david chiu is looking at regulating home sharing in the city and airbnb is paying the tax legal missing home sharing in san francisco we're close to approving the legislation it's important to look at the restrictions i'm discouraged its been decides two difficult to tell if someone lives in their home that's across the board time limit on hurrying i'm discouraged the time limit is still be considered i'm determined the city continues to shut down hosts like me awhile greedy landlord continue to ellis act

in what should be affordable apartment building and homeowners are not the reason for that high hotel rates in unindirectly areas we not responsible for buildings that are ellis act and not converting affordable housing shock into short-term rentals please don't paint us with the same brush as bad folks help us to stay in the city without a cap on the 90 days it's good for homeland security and good for our neighborhoods and good for our city thank you very much for listening. >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> good afternoon. my name is

a r is wlil la my husband and i are not hosts but when we traefld to europe and the united way kingdom we've looked to stay in a small bed-and-breakfast facility they provide a unique personal experience that can't be duplicate in my other way this memorial day phenomena of welcomed visitors to share our home it is allowed in every city and free country and should be allowed in san francisco america is after that a beacon of entrepreneurship and business expires they're trying to keep their homes and maintain dig if i did lifestyles many have been

hit and hardships a restriction like a 90 day limit makes that that impossibility thank you very mu much. >> next speaker >> thank you. i'm daniel leary i live in twin peaks in an rh1 zone neighborhood myself and many of my neighbors i've spoken to are against allowing short-term rentals in the rh1 neighborhood people that bought there were counting on the privacy and the lack of congestion associated that that type of neighborhood i think what is the difference between an airbnb and an airbnb bed-and-breakfast a normal bed-and-breakfast why can't the same laws that are on the books

the rules and regulations that apply to the anymore traditional bed-and-breakfast be included the airbnb unit why do we need legislation i guess that's more of a question than a statement i'd like that question addressed anyone want to address that? >> it's public comment so if you have comments please. that's all thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> hi my name is patricia i'm here supporting the home sharing i have here we collected 4 thousand signatures in the city of san francisco i live in outside of richmond district one

2 hundred and 64 signatures i'm to give to supervisor mar. >> you can leave it right there. >> i've been housed in san francisco and opposed to limiting home sharing to 90 days the city needs to know how many days i'm to host when i'm in town, however, i don't agree with supervisor chiu's amendment to 0 list the days i, host i know once a year reporting should be enough the reason i've started doing home sharing is at one point my mom got sick and by

the time she became sdarltd i took take care of her he had two full-time jobs but i had no support and the only. that could help me take care of my mom when she was in a wheelchair was home sharing that was the income that allowed me to take care of her when nothing is easy out there struggling for one person is difficult in the city now imagine how much the travel has helped me - >> thank you. i've now called all the cards is there any additional public comment open item 3 recommending to short-term rentals?

okay seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagues item 3 is back in the hands of the board i imagine that president chiu will be running momently so if there's no comments why we should wait for a person to arrive oh, that's - the comments have ended supervisor kim has a followup question for the planning department about one of the for the planning department for one of the comments >> yes. my question is regarding the female speaker that spoke will the party house next door to her house didn't wasn't candidate on airbnb but on a hosting platform and mentioned it's been under

investigation for a year and a half curling this practice is illegal and we're working to legalize it what's the challenges in enforcing against this activity why we haven't resolved it yet. >> thank you, chris tin hall the of any person(s) responsible for the ringing or use of a the particular property was an telegraph hill we received a complaint there were rentals of less than thirty days we contracted the owner investor that lives out of the country the local property agent was hosting the property so to speak we actually had a slightly easier time identifying that prompt bylaw due to the loss number of listing on the site

it's a challenge because the addresses are not listed on the website when we contacted the owner we found later that the listing that alone change e changed to modern thirty days we kept the complaint over to monitor it when we received other condominiums from folks in the neighborhood we found the listing converted to less than thirty days when we checked previously the listing was a changed too often 60 days that is compliant with our planning code at this point we contacted the local property agent and at this time we have just received last week some long time leases for the property we've not identified other additional

questions perhaps. >> how do i think the current form of the legislation low make sure those investigations are not a year and a half long? >> well having a registry will go a long ways in identifying whether or not a person is legitimately offering a short term registry. >> what about the case you're talking about they're switching wlaert between thirty and 60 days how can we properly enforce against that. >> we would like to have information from the hosting platform recorded to us i'm sure you're aware of with hosting platforms their literally thousands and thousands of them dollars certainly not a executive it's like the airbnb

and other hosting but multiple multiple sites we find there are sites that will market themselves to essentially other there will be a particular type of the traveler from a country and sites offered in various languages this is challenging because we will not necessarily know the address of the property we don't have any way to shift all of the hosting platforms. >> thank you and i apologize because this is a small piece of the legislation and there's several versions if we finally include having the hosting platform registration that they'll operator in the program and make sure you know there's going to encourage their

users to use registration number we're not asking the platforms to - i guess having a list of registered hosting platforms that the planning department will understand is you don't understand i don't think we're not asking for information they'll participate in the legislation so all the other sites not on the list we know those liz are not legal we'll enforce against them. >> deputy city attorney the current version pending before the board is no the requirement on hosting platforms requirement. >> so i guessed i'll ask the authors or the author sorry. >> actually, if i could consist that i have circulated amendments on the part of hosts

on the number of days their engaged in and another aspect you said that the hosting platforms are two things not reporting days. >> what? >> there's no registry for hosting platforms the registry is for the hosts the residents engaging in their activities with the owner unit no registry for the hosting platform. >> every host who is registered will have to take the registration number and attach it to the advertising on their site and. >> i think so it would be helpful to have the list of universal hosting agents to report to planning we don't have my question it didn't makes sense to have this request i imagine it's easier for the

enforcement side if they know which vitals are coordinating so if we find one site they're not working with the city we can go after those sites not working with the city so that's just starting a conversation. >> okay. so colleagues i know that supervisor chiu has submitted all the times as described at the beginning and distributed those amendments in addition i've proposed two small amendments a tweak to one i'll read orally and supervisor cohen do you have an amendment as well i can't recall. >> yes. i know it's been a

long day i believe the attorney is drafting that. >> we can do it as an oral. >> no, i've not been drafting but as a oral amendment the action you give us is sufficient to draft the language that's precise. >> supervisor wiener i can do that. >> so why not restate our oral amendments and doing to that one first. >> okay one minute. >> if you want we can defer it. >> why not take president chiu's proposed naements amendments first. >> thank you, everyone who is here at the moment and has been part of this is now the third major hearing on this matter and as well as everyone a that's been working w
