of 5 hundred supervisor campos said a thousand for non-registered hosted this is incentives for the platforms to work with the style system and putting all that money into supporting that and all short-term rentals platforms should share their address and data and computer programs to figure out how to figure out how many people have. >> ma'am your time is up. >> and richard had a question and it is really up thank you. >> truly up. >> good afternoon, commissioners i'm with the hate ashbury council airbnb a big corporation billion dollars in capitalization right in value it is hiding behind those mom and

quarterly a number of nights rates charged if they don't collect the money provide the names especially, if they don't say a rental number so the city can check a cut off if a party had their unit rented already 90 days and penalty for the platforms hey, let's get real what does a small business getting get how about the big corporations let's not let them off the hook thank you. >> thank you. >> hi good afternoon commissioner good afternoon community i want to tell you about ellis act there was over 3 thousand close to 4 thousand people are

an internet approach is a rich source of data didn't mean the government has a lateral right to it and c on page 12 makes it illegal for platforms to list any unit not in compliance with the short-term rental ordinance this puts them and holds them civilly liable home sharing like airbnb have hosted lots of housing that - it would be impossible requirement for them to insure full compliance in every jurisdiction around the world so. >> thank you. sir, your time is up. >> thank you. >> good afternoon commissioner my name is eric i'm from the neighborhood district 7 my
