strangers will they feel comfortable letting their children play in the hallways are out not background would you my own neighborhood has lost folks to evictions and staggering rents and to fear of losing their homes to short-term rentals i don't want san francisco to become a city that is vacant except during the tourist season i want real neighborhood not just strangers that pass through would with no connection to the city i urge you to make the enforcement as stringent as possible thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. i was no sacramento last week testifying about sb 5934 or 3 as a state

law supports the regulations on short-term rental platforms and those are businesses and airbnb sells data and airbnb is making up to 18 percent a $20 billion company shouldn't be the one deciding our louis laws supervisor campos legislation strikes a better balance i'm surprised the small business commission supporting o these businesses illegal and now for the cap paper baggy jams we need to look at not only as the short-term rental business but at other businesses are are operating like so-called car sharing their businesses we need effective laws but actively

enforcement of the laws why has those the no rentals under thirty days that law was not enforced how many complained were made to the planning department where are the enforcement so we need something that is effective people want to rent space in their homes for more than 50 or 90 days should get bed-and-breakfast bed-and-breakfast we can't build enough housing to respect the homes are lost much. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> i'm chris detail a richmond resident and lived in the city since 1967 a cost benefit according to airbnb their approach generates $500 million

thousand units and in addition 6 heed plus units and another 50 thousand in the pipeline however, we can all agree the number of units recommended from the market is two small now just like oil traffic laws the sufficient top dollars were area in confliction direct top dollars to enforce the existing laws don't disrupt the san franciscans give the existing law a chance to work. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> >> good afternoon my name is chris i'm in lower pacific heights whether you rents or own our home or simply inviting san francisco is a very expensive

extremely the administration and enforcement of a complex policy that i think the key to which is enforcement it is a novel when streamlining in my experience in the city to replace one city agency with four it was 3 until today and he added a fourth today especially, when two of those city agencies that he wants to streamline the enforcement of to ordinance with were 2, 3, 4 charge of enforcing the ordinance against short-term rentals in the first place specifically dbi as part of the building inspection and the parklet that are 10 thousand complaints that be investigated by the planning department and dbi was in favor of endorsing

that ordinance that is not allowing short-term rental in all of the city's residential hotels which by a lay requires the hotel owner to issue reports quarterly to dbi and usage reports dbi cannot enforce is it then how does adding 4 departments to an enforcement make it obscuring complex the planning department and dbi have worked for 10 years to develop a single property information system that will allow san franciscans to assess planning and - >> thank you very much. next speaker. before i do let me call a few more cards line up
