single-family dwelling house and didn't include an in-law unit and the common unit has used it for a predicament residents before the sale and the property contains more than that thirty separate residential units and it is solid for on men and women it is sold within a one year of a property owners death it is reciprocated to low income households accident property is until built housing or meets the following decree a contains more than 3 unit and the seller prosecute apply opposite side or before january 2015 with a construction cost of 5 hundred thousand or more and the late permit was users for a year of the property or it's exempt for the existing take it authorizes the board of supervisors to create additional exemption for

both the transfer tax and the this proposed additional tax the proposals o properties are subject to a affordability if you vote yes, you want the city to impose an additional tax continue 14 percent tax only certainly multiple unit that are sold within 5 years of transfer if you vote no, you don't want the city to impose the additional tax i'm here with claudia a attentive that the disgusted and a proponent of breaking we're also joined and marcie the liquor chair and a proponent i'd like to toward is opening statement from each of you marcie first. >> thank you for having us the library party of san francisco has recommended a no vote own this proposition and there are to main reasons the first one is

that speculation can't be controlled by legislation designed to bring about a political outcome you can't do that there are market forces that are going to be under and i can't do away with them the second situation is that not only is prop g useless it is harming the innocent for example, people that need to leave the market the tenants market or the landlord market in order to get a new job somewhere else you know your harming that person that has has nothing to do with it speculation or sporting a person gets sick and needs to sell the home there are consequences saw claude why you're opening statement. >> opposition to me is not

taking or tax tenancy in common is facts speculators who buy in 5 years or who buy a rental unit and not interesting in being landlord only interested if a quick profit and using the ellis act to evict members of the community teachers like myself and i. for prop g do this is will stop speculators from buying a person's property and then it will encourage long time investors people that are in the rental business that are lymph gland and not tdr in making a karaoke buck on people's home. >> claudia ms. berry will the

package encourage hoirp for the folks. >> i dough it again for the same reason you know what the supervisors some supervisors are trying to do it to go against things that are the lace of the market and the laws of the market can't be changed it is gravity laws when you say okay. we have sprarts that can't do something they're the risktakers telling me there will not be compacted so the long-term people that are intending to be long-term people are the same thing long-term people that are intending to be the are long-term people now nothing has changed except the tenant are going to pay more rent because

the cost of tax is bumper and consequences for people that live here as far as the, llc krormgdz or maybe not a worker in silicon valley that has bought altering property and he's not an corporation just a person not an llp so then you have say that same worker needs to move his job is volatile you rue you can't stay put so this is not to be done. >> claudia any thoughts on the comments. >> the real estate market is can't be regulated and, of course, that people do want to make a profit from a rental unit and a rental

apartment and they are making a profit from the rental unit it is an investment property it is meant to be kept an as an investment property and the continuity of our city is based on on rentals a lot of our san franciscans citizens are renting including people from silicon valley that are trying to make end meet, however, the speculators are not user the ellis act as a will that and using it to evict people very quickly and their effecting our city our working class is no longer able to for the record or forward to live here immigrants are no longer able to live here 1/3rd of our teachers commute in and out of san francisco it takes away from the community our speculators

are using the ellis act as a loophole that's not long term investors and housing that's not effected we need housing because we need housing we need those units to stay on the market and not obeying be changed boy speculators so quintessential. the court: thank you. both arthur comments we have a little bit of time i'd like to use this time to get closing remarks since ms. berry spoke first closing statement. >> yes. i want everyone to read up on prop g there's a lot of false statements being spread by very weighing realtors and he investors in the grassroots proposition that was proposed because of the evictions that are going on in san francisco it

is very common to see your neighborhood change within a year and your friends displaced and the members of the community displace it's hard to see families in san francisco frightened by the changes and it's just a grassroots proposition and i hope that people can research and understand it is to your benefit noting in san francisco. >> many berry. >> my heart indeed goes out to the people that are displaced to the tenant that are fearful, of course, however, our point is that is life and therefore whatever there is an economic change in my area urge you to have a great deal of evolution a great deal of changes that need to take place people need to welcome change

not fear it for example, the tenants that skwasz and agree 80 for this prop g are going to be sdieptd because none of the things you've mentioned they fear that it effecting them and teachers effecting low income workers none of that is going to change like i said speculators are risktakers they're just like and a half to find a way and profit will find a way. >> thank you very much we hope that this discussion has fine forgive for more information on this and ballot measures please visit sf election.org remember early voting a available at city hall from 8 to 5:00 p.m. and you can vote at city hall and a at the
