low income families the expansion of the prior action to include the hosts is truly offense i have the right to take hosts suspected of violating the ordinance directly to court so extending the rights to neighbors pits neighbors against neighbors a southern so preserve the quality of neighborhood that flies in the face of those concern the bureaucratic is not more effective we oppose to the private information and those of our guests this data disrespects our privacy right and there is less to achieve those enforcement ends the ordinance already requires hosts to report

out data annually a same change for penalties for miss reporting plus the - >> thank you, sir our time is up. >> hi and keithi livebuena vista park it has been a problem in san francisco so it is not a new problem people make it ought to be i brought a copy of my home sharing registry i'm a law-abiding accept i went through the registry as i was supposed to and file it mostly about the treasurer and i ask

lee supervisor farrell amendment i will probably suggest it not be capped at one hundred 80 days but one hundred owe 20 to follow the bad apples and let the rest of the people do well as far as supervisor kim's amendment i much prefer that over the expedited right for supervisor campos suggestions the one he suggests excuse me. the expedite is really a neighbor against neighbor sort of thing it will not cost the neighbors they could subpoena records and pay no court costs so an extremely frivolous thing

expedited anyway, we are renting a small unoccupied room and should be allowed to decide how many days to rent the small rooms in my opinion i'm reiterating when the san francisco chronicle they have to stay flexible that won't happen in legislationers lock this into stone rental companies will give the address and they've allow the neighbors to sue over expedited. >> sir, i'm sorry your time is up. >> my name is jutting davis i have lived in san francisco

help thank you arrest. >> i'm a co-founder we host a few hundreds hosts we're about creating fair housing policies for all home sharing allows our members to have a current space it is expensive for renter or owners to live in the city renter need to save for the future awhile homeowner have to pay property tax our property tax is tens of thousands of dollars home sharing hepatitis chinese and others being permitted out thought isof the city i want to talk about the private

right of action pitting neighbors against neighbors much like the expansion of the housing the city needs to reprioritize this and not use home sharing as a scapegoat thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners john with san francisco travel and we see our role in the department of public policy as representing the voice of the visitor we know there is a sector of the visiting public that prefers this option and pacific heights the city experiences a large demand when this is impossible to find housing we resist any effort to prohibit or curtail the short-term rental and instead we advocate for the responsible and enforceable path

that protects our visitors and partners and protects our community original legislation approved by the board of supervisors was an excellent first step towards establishing that pathway to legalization we believe the new language by mayor ed lee and supervisor farrell takes the necessary towards the protection of our visitors and partners and other folks thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners peter cowen we are a coalition of 23 affordable housing organizations community-based in san francisco this is a serious issue you've heard about the impacts of short-term rental i want to point out the number of days the financial as using

those for rental market are we in the vacation or register at 60 days recidivism 6 hydrohundred dollars and do you believe that 2 thousand conflict of interests a month this question is about whether or not this is taken off as restrooms and seasonal borders this is a huge population students and artists coming to town on commission we have a lot of folks that don't think roommate situations or part of the situation that are being priced out of the market and interesting data about the increased number of vacation homes we have in 2012 according to the census we don't know whether this is an indicator of short-term rental but financial

incentives to keeping unit off the market and targeted neighborhoods at least 50 percent of around and short-term rental in the midst and the hated and the castro and south of market western edition there is a high concentration in those neighborhoods their experiencing the greatest gent indication financial enforcement cap the number of days as 60 days this is supervisor campos we can support that and bookings you can track those things and lastly a private right of action for civil perpetrates this may be decided by the voter we hope you enact that legislation. >> good news the giant swept the dodgers you should be happen

i live in the house my wife grew up ♪ the castro we know to take care of our elderly parents after their passing we become home sharers we enjoy hosting it helps us 75 stay in san francisco by sharing our hope e home it makes it more favorable for visitors my wife would recycle to be here it helps us maintain a victorian home we urge you to keep the law as see or is this legislation should be able to work and taxes are paid bye for the registration awhile difficult to naekt that weeds out the bad acres this will add to the - the opposition to the home sharing will not solve the

short-term rental it is take into account this as a scapegoat and this problem has been piece together tedious regulations making san francisco nor expensive i ask the legislation work as it was passed last october and those that don't meet the regulations should be dealt with thank you >> good morning, everyone. commissioners i'm roger president of the west of twin peaks council that represents 20 homeowners and associations in western san francisco the council supports legislation that is fair to homeowners that want to make extra money and neighbors that rely on the city to make it choice we'll support

a conditional use permit not violating cc&rs if you live in a hoa you should abide by them as a matter of the contract the staff report recognizes that some homeowners are actually turning an occasion use into a full-time business the council doesn't want to stop mom and pop if renting out a room and window these but we when rent out a room 365 or one hundred and 20 days a mayor ed lee and supervisor farrell allow you should at least be required to give our neighbors an advanced notice as to what is going on if you don't do this the city will allow unlicensed to

bed-and-breakfast to exist in neighborhoods right now there is a provision to require a permit for bed-and-breakfast in a neighborhood this is not a provision for airbnb arrest short-term rental - thank you very much. >> hi, i'm amy the founder and partner i've been saying yes to my barbed since 2011 and i went to the board of supervisors i think the land use commission committee with scott sanchez said nothing compels for airbnb except american people

how is it to enforce this recollection and two things i put in survey and by the way 96 people took it opening half from the list half of the people were actually users airbnb or planned to register i was interested in the feedback to figure out how to move forward and 55 people or 53 people said they strongly agree that airbnb and other platforms should require proof of registration and thirty percent said they should share adequate data this end up looking like supervisor campos said set a date by which

platforms have registered hosts and after that date put a fine 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
