happens in the future so they have at least some assurances they're part of - they couldn't lose hopeful e hope essentially it is important to have data something you and your offices can bring to the table when people come to your doors where's the planning housing for me breaking down that is very complex for someone that needs housing right now today and it is for us people who are service providers to break down and make it clear this is coming up in this neighborhood and this neighborhood but we know this is coming up in the pipeline we need your support in that thanks. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon my name is paul and i'd like to address the

board as a long term resident of the mission i've lived here for 35 years and served over 20 years on the board of directors of a local nonprofit called mission council they served in the rehabilitation of drug and alcohol abuse i can testify to what i've myself witnessed in the mission most recently, i have seen a good number of my neighbors long term renter their properties have gone into the market and been purposed by for lack of a better term speculators with the intent to initiate the ellis act after buying the property those renters some of them have been my neighbors as long as

i've been there they predate my residency i've seen them bought out and lied to with a lessor stent some are hanging onto maintain their apartments i'd like to help i want to support any and all legislation and efforts on your part to stabilize the housing market in the myths and the city as a whole and whatever we can do to increase that market and do so at affordable rates thank you very much. >> thank you>> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi, i'm teresa i'm from the bill housing program of the veterans center we urge you to support those housing balance as is

our service and what we have noticed that people come to our door the first one we ask is how do i get to affordable housing how can i apply for affordable housing? and as people come into our door they come from different backwards people are seniors low income families and low income individuals who are on fixed income middle-income families that are starting to leave here in san francisco and also settling in the neighborhood so this housing balance is very important because it gives noble statistics but the stories of what housing are being built and what kind of housing needs to be built when we asked about when people - when people try to

apply for affordable housing some people don't get accepted because they're only one hundred dollars from the maximum or 50 away from the minimum what kind of housing we see that kind of trend so we urge you to have those statistics available so it will guide us to what kind of housing needs to be built we need to build affordable housing for all extremely low income and low income and middle-income thank you, very much. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> name is anthony work in south of market with senior and disability action i'm also with the manila town heritage foundation there's a grave need for having housing balance and also to have that balance monitored i don't think that it is a

mystery to anyone there is a lot of market rate housing what messages is really - is being stated to the community when you know predominantly moderate of market rate housing is going up what does it tell the worker people and on the message is you don't along here and i'm not of that mindset there is room for everyone in san francisco i'm concerned again with seniors and people with disabilities district 3 has the largest of 28 percent medium income in 2010 was that $7,000 a year i don't know how much social security has risen in the last 5 years

but in that area it looks like the housing balance is out of balance out of the 6 hundred plus 66 we are affordable that really has to change i'm in favor of the housing balance and having the - this data available 80 so people at least know where we're at and you know we've been fighting for a long time to have more of a balance there is no balance we're trying to get it in the opposite direction and on track thank you. >> thank you very much>> thank you. next speaker, please. >> >> i'm 35 years myself housing a big thing here and we need affordable housing some

kind of rent control because it is way out of hand as far as the was this and the housing they're totally out of balance and we just need to be past thank you. >> thank you our next speaker. >> good afternoon, supervisors i'm ryan fair a community organizer with tmc we're asking you approve the balance ordinance that has been depraved consummating by the planning commission we know that displacement is a concern because of the lack of housing to meet the housing demand and supply if everyone with the walker prolong the streets to notice the changing city a lack of culture and diversity and

loss of establishment and our lgbt community we're losing all of that within san francisco; right? and the impacts that have happened for the lack of long term visionary in the policy development and we haven't thought burglary the true implication i'm encouraging to have a workforce we don't have housing for and moving the loss of rent control unit we need to have unbiased data that is produced on an official level through the city to make informed policy decisions that impact our housing community especially on affordable levels without this we're speculating on the implications thank you.

>> thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors my name is eric i'm are the san francisco latino culture district we're in support of the housing monitoring report balance i think we need to look at each individual neighborhood separately it is the city is not the same all across the neighborhoods particularly in the mission we're ground zero for the displacement we got a report showing that 8 thousand latinos displaced from 2013 and 80 percent of the small businesses latinos businesses from the south mission we are in a crisis for the latino community in the south i think we should add to the number of jobs that are lost find out what those are
