4:00 pm
unless we do something different by the time the city is in a position as supervisor breed said, it takes time for the city to do anything when it comes to housing, but by the time you get to the a position where you can acquire the limited amount of land that is available, unless we do a pause on luxury ement dedevelopment that housing will be gone and know now land to build affordable housing. i welcome the request that has been made to have the chief economist for the sate do a report on the luxury mooreatorium, but i note a couple things. i hope that as we move forward with this request that the mission is not held to a higher standard. i have since i have been on the board seen supervisors requests things that are specific to their district including
4:01 pm
interim controls for their district without an economic impact report. i hope when it comes to am mission additional requirementerize not made of that noirbd. the second point is if it is the case that this report is so critical to understanding the merits othe proposal it is interisting that people who are putting so much value on a report have no problem coming forered with out against the proposem before any findings in the report are completed or began. the final point is this, that before we introduce our proposem we checked with the chief economist who noted a 45 day
4:02 pm
pause in huz expercent poren doesn't require a economic impact analysis. the requested period of time where fr come action is sought is simply not long enough to vamaterial impact on the eannomy. to the extent i agree there has to be a report that looks at long term implications of a luxury housing horatorium, i would hope that the very people who have called for that report will follow the advise and guidance of there economist that indicated no report is need frd the first phase of the proposal. i hope that we move forward votes on that first phase on the merits up or down without waiting to delay the action on a report that the economist himself indicated isn't necessary. the rest i submit >> thank you supervisor companyose. supervisor
4:03 pm
christensen >> i just want to add my enthusiasm for the proposed housing bond touching on the high points most of which are covered. i think the fact this sh the largest housing bond to date the city considered is important. i have many constituents are more likely to support it because their property taxes will not be raised. i do think it is important it is part of a bigger funding package and particularly because the bond will allow us to leverage state and federal funding through matching financing. i believe we can manage this bond and through that management build not only housing and confidence in the cities ability to take steps toward finding solutions for the housing crise js in doing so we create support for future housing bonds as we have done for other departments and projects in the city. most importantly the information
4:04 pm
that i have indicate thrz is a great deal of support for this particular bond and this particular amount and think that is most critical since what we all want is a bon we can pass in nchb. i know my colleagues supervisor cohen and kim have absorbed a lot of the housing increases in the city and grateful for that. i'm please today see supervisor avalos welcome to it somethof dement in his dist rnth. i understand supervisor companyosetoryed south van ness looks for opportunities and as i look for my district the most built out in the city and the most dense that even we are trying to find opportunity for mew housing where we can do our part. the rest i submit >> seeing no other name ozthen roster that concludes the introduction of new business >> thank you. so, madam
