other things why are we here today everyone agrees that the law that was passed last year is unenforceable and rather than talking about genetics if i can cite an of somebody who list off the airbnb listings today hey, i'm carolyn my husband and i own a hundred property in san francisco? a business for us we don't live in those apartment we special in short-term rentals we diesel with vendor who make sure our firms are well maintained and tenant get great customer service center who's this person google is wonderful this person is carolyn connor

and she runs a astounding recruiting firm here's her phone number and address if the planning commission and the board of supervisors have followed the planning department recommendation last year that all hosting platforms not list unit that are not registered that the city those 3 unit shows advertising will be available for permanent rental they not think short-term rentals but that doesn't happen we submitted that to planning last august and it is not hard to find this person nothing has happened she's still taken off 3 units of affordable housing market in san francisco most important recommendation

that you can follow is to require all hosting platforms to only list unit that are registered with the city and county of san francisco as short-term rentals. >> that's the most effective thing you can do to get all the bad acts that are abusing the law airbnb could do this tomorrow the signs say protect home sharers the easier way to leave the real home sharers and kick the other people out they have the data they refuse to do that hide under home sharing to allow this to go on. >> you role need to do you want our recommendation i want to point out a couple of things

that are real, real problems that go to the enforceability the farrell lee legislation removes the address from the public record so the first day in the history of city government you're going to have somebody that gets a business license to have a commercial activity in a residential neighborhood without any information available to the public of who is doing it and where it is happening if somebody sees a problem they'll call the city and is that legal or not legal they can check themselves there is going to discourage enforcement and complaints, and, secondly, the farrell legislation removes the requirement that the city can

look at if you live there permanently that's i mean that is opening up a can of worm relocate those amendments in the farrell legislation anyway our next speaker is sarah short in the tenant group thank you very much. >> hi, i'm sarah short with the housing rights the san francisco good afternoon a coalition of tenants groups released a report showing it evictions in san francisco are higher than a decade we see the landlords getting their rent control tenant out and basically trump up charges hoping the tenant will be scared out and for the small lease violations like

hanging laundry outside believe it or not at this point more and more long term renters are losing their homes and we're losing unit 5 thousand unit are being taken off the market inform short-term rentals 5 thousand units for those who are being evicted could now live 5 thousand unit are newcomers would live rather than displacing other we have to consider why there is a uptick in the evictions consequence i think not when you can't - when you rent daily and make the same amount 6 money in a full year there's incentive to empty units as planning commission emersed you're in a unique position to stop the hemorrhaging of this and this is the most not able

thing of san francisco making the national and international news you can say enough is enough and help to insure our city priorities all the citizens over the dollars you can do this day by supporting the strong enforcement manufacture like those many the supervisor campos that allows the tenant to sue with real unions with mandatory and - the 60 day cap by the ordinance will help to insure the return on hosting is not so much greater than at a mostly rent to rent short-term rental rather than provide housing this mayors ordinance does monopoly of that we're asking to the do

the right thing by supporting the ordinance that has the enforcement supervisor campos and rejecting the mayors proposal that added fuel to the fire that is the daytime crisis we face today thank you next up is mr. lou. >> local 2 you know hotel workers are doubly effected by this issue we've heard it said several times that hotels are high occupancy but we all know we've been through to movie before the hotel destroy it if you do not understand the fact i understand you to came back two or three

years when we hit the down side and see the incomes and security that hit this sector of our economy but as significantly hotel workers are representative of the thousands the san franciscans facing eviction or housing inner security because of the mass conversion of the residents into tourist rentals the simple fact short-term rentals are the greatest distribution of affordable housing in this supply not since the great earth and fire have we seep this many rental unit off the market you can represent to tourist as well as san franciscans to so it the an open invitation to thousands and thousands of more units and the displacement of thousands and thousands of more families from our city

this is why we urge you not only to support the stronger enforcement but hosts can rent out what when in their on vacation but not sensitized to pull their unit off the market the stakes are two big to resolve this through legislation the owners of the $20 billion corporation airbnb demonstrates they're not willing to spend millions to buy the law i believe for all the hard work and the credit to the planning department the analyst california work this matter will be resolved by the people of san francisco i want to introduce our last speaker. >> unfortunately, your time is up. >> okay now opening it up for public comment and make accommodations

for o who need it each member of the public received to minutes. >> i'm bob i came here to speak from a civil right prospective the current legislation despite all the studies and analysis the work of the city attorney and the planning department and building inspection omits a response in essence to people with disabled with a legally protected a class prior to the - it will be a requirement to indicate whether or not the unit was assessable so i've got a horror story a gentleman in his mid 40s reversed a unit for his mom she'll have to walk up 42 steps

it didn't happen if you look at adds for restaurant. >> bars they advertise wheelchair assessable but this is a crapshoot there recent aspects of this is is responsive to people of sdalth a 60 day cap is - somebody with high pressure or an infant you don't want partying right of action can be a benefit private right of action is incredibly good for the poor and expediting it is important for family with health and sleep problems those are benefits that should be considered to hope people

especially vulnerable that's why i urge to delay this and start at the beginning thank you. >> good afternoon can you hear me okay. i'm mri are a i'm a 21 resident of san francisco and i've survived an eviction survived several years of homelessness and seven years on a waiting list before i found a home i ask you guys to please support strongest enforceable regulation make airbnb be accountable for listing not registered and make sure that their some way to enforce those

legislation i support supervisor campos legislation as being the most that comprehensive and able to hope people the housing is getting worse and as a person with disabilities we're getting pushed out there is no new housing being built for people that disabilities the old housing for being able to get rent out flats and stuff is it disappearing under around we're getting pushed out of the city it is important to be here we get our medical care here we get to see medical specialists ones

with our city we lose our medical. >> any other speakers that need to be accommodated i'm going to start calling names if i hear our name called and your - yes. >> microphone. >> hello i'm good afternoon commission i'm a vision zero person and speak for no one else but myself i'm a coalition of one i'm american people airbnb host i live in high unit the room is my home sharing unit i

take care of the guest and clean the rooms myself it it wasn't for a home sharing approach i wanted of would be homeless it helps me to pay my rent when i couldn't pay the rent on my oppose i was a person at save woo and other places to - i don't know, there should be a limit on how many nights in a unit because i'm there to take care of each and every guest there are people that like myself who i don't know myself as disabled i work and take care of everything on my home i have help with how website i ask you not put a 4ri789 only home sharing sites where the host

lives there. >> thank you. okay going ahead and calling names (calling names) in any particular order. >> mccain republican howard i'm very concerned about the short-term rental of unoccupied unit in residential neighborhoods this is an essential the fact of the rezoning for residential to commercial that is turning every building into a potential hotel

this didn't build strong neighborhood this is a lot of lip service given to families in our city how is a family with young children feel if the building is rented out to strangers will they feel comfortable letting their children play in the hallway would you my own neighborhood has lost neighbors to to be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars evictions and to fear of losing their homes to short-term rentals i did not want to be left in a city that is vacant except during tourist season i want to real neighborhoods not people that doesn't have commitment to the city i urge you to make

short-term rentals as stringent as possible thank you. >> >> thank you. next speaker please. >> hello i'm with alliance of californians for community empowerment and i'm here to support supervisor campos legislation first of all i am for hearsay and i think the term sharing has been misnomer sharing is like in something freely sharing does not mean the exchange of monetary funds i'm an old hippie i like sharing

it means i have the couple come hang out with me sharing to me does not mean i get money i give my couple freely let's get over the double speak of what sharing means what it means airbnb and there are platforms that means who gets more money i live in the mission i've seen my neighborhood being destroyed and i'm telling you right now i am ready to breakdown and cry and i feel sorry for people who need the

center income we need to look at the income structure of this world. (clapping.) >> we could refrain from the clapping we have a long day ahead of us. >> hi, i'm bill i live in hayes valley on the internet i go on the name of dust nolan if you up here it maybe hard to see i've been i'm one of the people that alex marches used to for the data that was done for airbnb i've been downloading data from average since october about 12

times those numbers are fairly consistent supervisor farrell mentioned the numbers are lower than they've been they're not really but they tend to go up and down with the percentages stay the same the percentage of the number of apartments compared to homes and their shared they're pretty much the same those nuns thirty percent over thirty percent of the rentals on airbnb are consistently done with people having 2 or more rentals 15 percent of the rentals and the hosts they match on airbnb are consistently arguing did you by people that list their home as not san francisco they're from denver, new york

are mexican city from all over the world it is the same percentages all through the maeblt february 1st i've done four runs since february 1st since this law was - airbnb they don't take down their advertising. >> i want to polite. >> good afternoon. i'm teresa from north beach i'm representing the senior action i'm concerned about the enforcement in north beach alone

because i'm seeing right next to me all those units that were illegal before and illegal today still going on granted they take down whatever signs were evidenced before some vacationing go on their clever my concern do you have a way of monitoring those listing if the city requires anyplatform they'll have to register that and this registration number will have to be on any listing no matter what platform this way how can you know there are 8 unit just two buildings away from me used as vacation rental every single weekend 5 days sometimes 4 days

rarely more than that but all the time that is one street around the corner that are more around the other corner yet another two buildings represent out vacation rental we're seeing limousine dropping off 6 to 8 people all the time all while families are there little kids running out into the street it impacts our character those are not neighbors those are people invested in our community. >> sorry ma'am we'll give you is another come up of sessions, sir with the telephone turn the

telephone off folks you need to turn off the cell phones it is disruptive and imagining appropriate to the speakers and commissions. >> it is destroying the character the environment of our neighborhood and i just wish you had teeth no enforcement and none of these are list unless there's a registration number thank you. >> good afternoon. i'm marla i'm the co-chair of the north beach tenants committee north beach has been ground zero inform short-term rentals we've already gone through many, many vibrations a whole block has been turned into short-term rentals when dbi was informed of this and planning commission was informed they were literally

nothing they could do the real estate a.k.a. agent who owned the 4 unit building said i'm not doing this and continued so 0u6b8 enforcement is steel important i'm confused why the planning department has stopped gathering information not only airbnb but all the short-term rental platforms they should be north beach is 16 blocks we are small and bordered by traditional hotels and traditional arounds we don't want to be turned into a hotel district and that is what's happening so the enforcement issue is huge you can create a department but a department that has no real enforcement what difference

district attorney r does it make i support supervisor campos legislation thank youistrict attorney r does it make i support supervisor campos legislation thank youct ney r does it make i support supervisor campos legislation thank youey r does it make i support supervisor campos legislation thank youy r does it make i support supervisor campos legislation thank your does it make i support supervisor campos legislation thank your does it make i support supervisor campos legislation thank you does it make i support supervisor campos legislation thank youdoes it make i support supervisor campos legislation thank you. >> hello, i'm a senior and 50 year long term resident i speak to urge to remedy the ordinance of supervisor campos i believe we need o the tight regulations with accurate funding above all want - we need to 60 day cap when making our decisions i hope you keep in mind those short-term rentals are no try by the people to the city

they do the opposite they destroy the very thing that attracts visitors and the character of our neighborhood and community they drive our friends and families and keshgz into exile ill health and worse i urge to you recommend supervisor campos ordinance i want to protect our long term permanent housing stock i ask you two questions first what kind of city are you charged with protecting? a city of resident who contribute and care for the city or a city of strangers second question which will triumph when is more worthy to prevail the long term residents of san francisco or those who wish we

were gone thank you. >> i'll call a few more names (calling names). >> commissioners good afternoon. i'm antonio for the record i represent senior and sdablth action and the heritage foundations i'll urge to you recommend the supervisor campos recommendations we do need to 60 day cap i see the need to deincentive vision zero much of the behavior and that's one way to do it one of my colleagues 450i89d we have lost 5 thousand

unit from the market i don't want to call it the market i want to call it the community 5 thousand units are you kidding me the boy wonder at around do - no they doesn't think the consequences their business mold was going to have in this community we have residents that have died recently that could have lived in some or some of the unit this business model it messing with people's lives it is changing the character of neighborhood you know out of this need to be clever and to make lots and lots of money and break the law and oh we fooled them again that's why those reasonable proposals by supervisor campos are so
