understanding a place to live we were looking for a community to call home we found home sharing for the us that opportunity within 6 months we sorry 10 weeks we lived in 10 neighborhood and walked the city this what we found were amazing hosts from all walks of life and recommending local places to eat this was acquit an adventure and the personal nature of home sharing a rewarding experience this inspired us this makes an opportunity for tourist we have a big map on our wall with pins to the local businesses the

money goes dribble to the businesses i urge everyone to understand the positive impact that home sharing has not only for hosts and the travelers but a community and small businesses as well those work together and build a local culture making registration only takes away from the businesses i ask we allow the current allows to be fully into effect before imposing additional changes. >> thank you. next speaker. >> hello as a child lived all over the world i was in the military i choose to move to san francisco i lived bruno no heats

i rent two bedrooms and another bedroom not able to rent underwent i have my own business i'm a massage therapist and i wouldn't be able to live in the city were it not for hearsay i want you to consider the legislation that has passed i'm working on getting registered it takes time and this is the right way to go thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. i'm john i'm a small business owner and support of home sharing i own my own home and host my own unit for 6 years i own and operate a food truck without the

possibly of home sharing i couldn't have started my business not only the capital businesses was straggling it took a while to get it done with a larger entrepreneurs endeavor and holding down a full time job would have been a impossibility my truck i've had it for four years thus improving it takes 3 years to make a business professionalable without home sharing i might have started the business but not waited out the 3 years to establishment now hundreds of fans and followers step into my san francisco and indirectly support home sharing it enabled memo to feeds them

perhaps finally to think about the potential small businesses out there that may never had a chance to establish themselves without home sharing i live in coastal and there's no home sharing 3 miles and extend my business to local businesses also. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good evening my name is cat thank you so much for hanging out here and hungry i want to talk about my experience i've lived here inform many years and i couldn't live here what did you do airbnb

many in my home i'm a homeowner that rent out a house in glp i would never had given the chance never consider renting on airbnb it is not right it is not the spirit of what the home sharing is about my experience with trying to register has been i went in and applied for my license and told i couldn't put my partner on unless i was murder i thought about that and thought i'm not on the water or electric bill i don't have a car i'm not on the insurance those are the things that would be accepted as being

a homeowner and occupant it is stymie i will a be a honest woman i want to participate and short-term rentals and shows pretty cool have a good night thank you very much thank you for your time. >> good evening. i'm michelle and i am very long time resident of san francisco and longtime homeowner i've been renting out a room for a little bit of last year and plan to continue this year is a glimmer of hope to remain in the city as i get older my friends retiring are leaving one

here and there it is stressing i don't want to have to leave also i'm finding it really a ray of hope i feel like it benefits everyone that we're doing this home sharing it benefits the neighborhoods as everyone said and the city i know that register housing in the city is complex and complicated needs a lot of serious diagonal and creativity we need to work on that maybe we need to extend rent control to new buildings as well as the old i don't know the answers but it is not changing airbnb to one hundred and 20 days not going to make any difference so i think that is sort of being used as a scapegoat and sort of

inappropriate and that people should be able to share their homes for as often as they wish thank you. >> thank you. >> good evening, commissioners i have a cold i'm a relating new hosts my daughter left for college i am recently divorced but i'm fwoosz a empty nest and considerable higher mortuary airbnb helps older folks stay in the city as you've heard but the limited number of days does not protect affordable housing instead it is 20 days lost hotel revenue for my place alone the

proponent of the amendment say the short-term rentals effect the character my guest are here to attend wednesday morning and furnld and contribute spending $200 in caregivers and store these are travelers that wouldn't sigh overnight in a high-priced hotel room what is changing the incredible money thanks to tax breaks and monster homes and tearing down homes to build skyscrapers if the law is amended now i too like someone else mentioned that is an incredible bait-and-switch i request you exempt if this happens you exempt from limits those who comply with the laws

use some of the 14 percent to keep the thousands of guests and us doing what we go in san francisco thank you. >> hi, i'm john, i lived in the mission for 31 years i'm sure i put many a blue card i support of supervisor campos legislation businesses should be the businesses should be regulated and they're currently not in the case of airbnb a couple of things i had my head skraich with had some of the initial statements from supervisor farrell saying there's too many housing platforms dbe yet planning is going to set up an office ever

overseeing these things maybe that's a waste of money that's a contradiction another thing that is a head screecher the reporter for the i think that was you said he said he stressed my report here on the rentals is not scientific and complete yet the head of planning department said we have the facts to determine those are go laws i'm not sure what the agenda to me that is acquit simple you want to have a business licenses to know what is going on in your city not having licenses for liquor stores and food establishment or save ways so you can make so how society works and licenses so you can

collects on a regular basis thank you. >> good evening i guess i'm the last one my name is is emily kelly need to stay in the city because the victorian in san francisco it is role expenditure and quite a challenge i panicked to make sure we had the mortuary last year, we had to rerevolver we had to replace the sewer lines from the hill to the street and had a lot of dry rot dangle i provide shrz i have a tenant upstairs i subsidies here i

provide co-chair for my daughter if not for short-term rentals for hosting we would losses but how is it is such a challenge and been a god sent and for those who follow the law comply the register who basically do we we're asked to do please don't take that away from use it will effect memo and my family and community i want to mention airbnb provides the accounting the taxes the insurance makes is so much easier for us and the accountability is there so i'm grateful for the opportunity to be in the city and i hope you'll consider you'll this as you make

our decision please don't change the law so seen soon and allow us to comply and go forward in this city. >> thank you is there any additional public comment going once, twice, 3 times public comment is closed. and we'll open up to commissioners for deliberation. >> commissioner president fong and i discussed a strategy to approach the various piece of legislation before you i believe if you choose to i think the easiest way to take each recommendation individually and separate them and have a consensus vote, vote on each other then or mark which ones have consensus and create a

motion with certainty recommendation other than any remedies that are amended or misdemeanor through our discussion process as one option you can use or take to tackle this complicated proposal in front of you. >> thank you commissioner wu. >> thank you so i think this is helpful voices i want to be clear there are poise that have been discussed not in the recommendations commissioners i have another recommendation or hostile the topics about which they would liquor to move on. >> indeed. >> if you can help us control that so each the items would be great. >> i'd like to make a general public comment sorry to interrupt and go into. >> show we allow commissioners

to make general comments and tackle them. >> very good very good. >> commissioner richards wow. not as much but still enough i sat through the hearing on august i was on the other side of the rally i was a nominee confirmed the board of supervisors voted on the current piece of legislation i called supervisor wiener and said supervisor wiener the proposal is not enforceable it will fail i believe it is fail that's why we're here so for the effective date of february 1st specifics i'll get into later i think the a registration that is outstanding 10 percent for the one hundred and 70 licenses

and . >> couple more outstanding and the cancelation is one hundred and 47 given there's thousands of rernldz out on the platforms i think we all agree the commission i can't speak from m them i think 95 percent of the people say short-term rentals have a place in the city i'm in agreement they benefit some social and culturally fact short-term rentals benefit businesses both financially and krltd fact short-term rentals benefit the city financially through employment and culturally fact businesses exist in the current system and this as an existing to short-term rentals fact everybody agrees a small amount of bad acres are causing those

issues i sat with hosts and we agreed on that common area it is the bad acres driving the conversation and we don't want to kill the goose and penalize this is the negative impacts are on north beach and castro the hate and mission fact we're in a housing crisis and nobody can deny that rest of this conversation ought to be about legalizing people that intend to follow the rules not about penalizing airbnb but talking about limiting the short-term rentals impact on the housing stock i think one quick question we've tubed the content of the 3 proposals kim and supervisor campos and supervisor mar and mayor ed lee get us in the right

direction we're going to strike a balance i think if we get the balance recall right we'll head off a november bottle issue that's my hope. >> commissioner antonini. >> thank you. i'm familiar with this whole system i may have mentioned in 1970 my wife and i took a voj instead of going to hotels it would be too expensive we went sdirm free and that's what we do we stayed in people's houses a wonderful experience and economical i'm not o a stranger i think one statement that came in the flier the epic center is san francisco i was impressed by the owners and renter that acknowledged the

cost of living in san francisco an innovatively to rent out units to meet their needs they didn't like blame someone yeah. this is what we're doing and this is what we're doing about this is rochelle to hear there are yes, a problem with housing shorthand but it goes beyond short-term rentals it may be a part of it but the housing short term is thirty and 40 years not building enough housing in san francisco one of the un23i7b9d consequences is people don't move you get a unit you're not leaving increase not as many market unit the ones that are there driven to a high costs everybody is boyd on the

ones available and a number of people mentioned this this ties into the thing people keep unit off the market a fear litigation and it's been said by one speaker it is true thirty thousand units being built many thousand units being used inform short-term rentals as we've heard in our report could be among those it doesn't mean we shouldn't be doing something but not passing relations that make the situation worse 4 and $69 million is the stated economic benefit of airbnb and airbnb alone and $250 million was payrolling paid for the monies received from the

legislation they contributed taxes to the city a couple of things i don't want to support in those legislation pieces i'll bring that out this private right of action a stranger strange it was explained if the city has an ordinance the city has a importing it if someone is breaking the ordinance and the city has to step in it is not for other people people can't sue for something involving a city to me is an opportunity for lawsuits it is up the city to enforce the laws and something going on with the neighborhood with short-term rentals if i give the nonprofits the ability to do it they'll through monkey

whenever they said home sharing helps local businesses from the downtown areas you shop and eat around that areaways that is close so i think one thing i'm going to have to raise the foe 50 bucks to register you have to get up to 50 or one hundred a year to do the enforcement and streamline the process many speakers said i wanted to register it took effort it was decided order parrot of the problem is the registration more extraordinary and if we charge them 2 hundred and year we'll add a lot more revenue or perhaps anchor airbnb a little bit more if dessert we have to get enough money to make it work

i'm not in favor of lowering the posted amount per year a lot of people said this is our house we ran out of room it's their business what we do no one is saying we're going are only doing this to free it up for relates it shouldn't be so difficult they've signed a affidavit under penalty of law whatever figure to make them full-time residents they have to produce signed affidavits from 3 neighbors and they'll be not lying it is easy enough to prove someone is a recipe not rent it out full-time that will

certainly hope the people that are sharing bedrooms within their own house everybody feels that is not problem unit being taken off the market and used as full-time market this should be a hundred and 20 or one hundred get into detail. >> just to be clear we are going to go through each recommendation you'll have a chance to follow up. >> i'll state those are my general comments i'll stop right now to go into the individuals ones then i'll tell you what i like and not. >> commissioner hillis. >> i've specific questions on the recommendations i'll hold off. >> on the general.

>> commissioner johnson. >> i will hold off as well i have questions of private right. okay i realized i'll. >> commissioner moore. >> i'll hold off to the general discussion. >> question sorry. >> commissioner johnson i know we're going to do the round eastbound robin is there an opportunity to add comments. >> yes. add to others very end more suggestions possibly make a motion for whatever we president of considerations of additional thoughts. >> okay with that structure jonas stepped outs now the difference between hosted and

non- >> this is in supervisor campos and the mayor ordinances so right now unhosted rental can be rented for 90 days and an unhosted has no limitations so whatever cap through this process applied to both the reason the department is recommending it is difficult to determine if something is hosted or not hosted. >> if you don't mind staying available commissioner hillis. >> so we are going to i mean, i think it maybe difficult it is himself on enforceable ability questions for me to make a recommendation i'll ask some questions first of all, this is

one where we made a recommendation last time that a hosted rentals be capped and noted taken by the board of supervisors was a mistake but i'm troubled but removing the distinction between hosted and non-hosted airbnb is aware if it is hosted or not hosted you have to put in where your listing the entire unit or not we get additional information that makes it easier to look at this issue the trouble with the nuances we see a lot of folks when we locked this people coming down and saying their hosts and ben from airbnb is hosted rentals we don't see a

lot of folks come forward and saying i'm taking the unit off the market and leasing i think that testimony was compelling the first time we're punishing the obligate acres because of the bad arcs between hosted and non-hosted and we're trying to come up with that number without that framework. >> first of all, we don't get that information from the hosting platforms whether or not something was hosted or non-hosted but oftentimes more than one
