income units being built if this continues the latino mission community will be million dollars from the past with a few latino routines i restaurants on 24th street who had the foresight to buy their places before the developers came here i've seen latinos workers and teachers leave san francisco because they can no longer afford the rent generations the latino families are also leaving i've seen that happy in the fillmore with the acknowledging community and eventually this would happen in chinatown as well san francisco could lose it's ethnic and cultural diverse and such a small city san francisco should have the planning department monitor the balance between new market rate housing and new affordable

housing as well as low income and senior housing research should be done on the demographics of who is presently living ethnicity and low income seniors, etc. and research should reflect short-term rental or lee's or are vacate the commission should defines affordable housing i was at a meeting thousands of people were there and no one would afford affordable housing including teachers and other professionals that work for the city of san francisco future permits for what to build in the future should be based on the needs of the san francisco community not the needs of developers and real estate interests but more interested in

profits than serving the culture of san francisco. >> >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello i'm the co-chair with the mission burr no chapter of ace a resident of admission lives there 19 years a resident of san francisco for 40 years almost i when i moved to the mission i found a home a home as an artist home as someone of color home

housing you e youth have to fill out the forms because english is not they're first language rent control housing represents the largest 40ur9 even though those units are not affordable and vulnerable to no fault evictions they provide stability to the resident that live in there this monitoring and reporting includes the information what you think from the neighborhood so we understand whether new affordable housing prediction is keeping with the loss that's why i'm here to support supervisor kim's legislation i hope you do, too thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners i'm john the taco group i'm here to support supervisor kim's as modified and described and the option described by the

director the director insures me i believe him completely the recommendation from last friday that $0.33 he's committed to the prop k but the recommendation last friday if you read it unfortunately would have been putting a poison pill into the ordinance with a indefinite postponement it is important we understand i understand the did the of the bureaucracy and budgeting and filling staff positions and allocating staff it is unfortunate the department didn't put prop k into its budget you sent out last month it can be put back in it is terrible long it takes to put in people the public wants to see action they voted 40 for prop k

by 66 percent and now supported by 71 percent of last month they want action not bureaucratic excuses so it is time to go do it please when the hearing comes up measure your resources and plan wisely and put back in the budget we were not asked but will and thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners my name is a affordable unit gel south of market county action network here to urge you to support supervisor kim's balancing owners and implement the ordinance now last november the san francisco voters passed prop k that was support by the mayor and full board of supervisors because the city we just don't know about the housing crisis

but are experiencing it if teachers to worker to youth so the tenant convention in silicon valley the need for data that gives an accurate picture of what kind of buildings is that respect it is important to have a clear picture of how much housing has different affordability level has been produced it is already been produced and is in the pipeline as well as rent controls housing we've lose to ellis act and landlord are harassment and buy outs we'll have more data in the neighborhood as well as all the lost united in our prospective this ordinance has been overdue this should/have been done long ago in the south of market alone we saw thousands of condo built

in the neighborhood but built to this day and none of the housing has been housed any of our families our teachers or workers instead we saw they're being forced out of their neighborhood being pushed out of the community that they love and has grown in we need to make sure this is properly implemented in a timely manner because we need this important information to have good conversation not only with the u.s. planning commissioner but also your supervisors thank you. >> good afternoon with the south of market action network and as you've heard already people are being displaced from our city at an alarming rate we

have a housing country the struggle to live and sty in 9 city we're seeing in every neighborhood right now needs to be measured we need to create the policy around the measurement so as ann guerilla said address raymond we support supervisor kim's will legislative as amended by the supervisor and presented by april earlier and we appreciate the statement from director ram to prioritize getting the report out and as john elderly said before us we support of the budget automation to make sure it provides all the data so the housing dashboard the housing element and all our progress towards the housing the affordable housing rental heirs and new affordable housing as we

threatened in the tenderloin a lot of 345ir9 housing at rates we've not seen in the tenderloin we need the data i think all of you and i agree that planning is really existed and fun and very important but a lot of people feel it is hidden under the vail of bureaucracy to get to the things that are relevant and crucial so this ordinance enables a broader population of san francisco to grab into what was happening in the neighborhood so they can advocate for san francisco they want to see to be engaged in planning this is an exciting opportunity i hope you all agree and hope that when the times comes you'll support of the monitoring balance owners
