of the people in this room are strong supporters obviously that is a complex issue i'm successful california of certainly but want to support the legislation of supervisor campos it make sense i'd like to offer some anecdotal information i think that is one way of putting a complex issue into a prospective i may not be naive if you act think. "question: good point when mines bought a home in san francisco in hayes valley we were there 10 years a two-bedroom apartment well lighted, etc. and because rent control which i stronger support the rented went up from 277 to over 4 heeds dollars and an
9:37 pm
compatible apartment thousand dollars this increase is outages but i urge you to in our deliberations to come up with a solution that is as good as what the people would come up with if this issue went to the ballot years ago i met a labor writer i disagreed with but he said it is ghoulish to make money off other misfortune and all the people needing the money from their rentals - >> thank you. next speaker, please quinton you're up. >> good afternoon, supervisors i'm quinton i know it's your job i want to acknowledge and give you kudos this afternoon for keeping a straight face when our
9:38 pm
planning direction and sdavr zoning administrator said the best enforcement was to talk to neighbors (laughter) no matter what does that is stunning the idea that supervisor farrell suggests hiring more people to talk about to people is a fascinating but that is about the debt and what's fascinating i have airbnb terms of service my neighbors and friends are hosts which the following they've alleged to please read those terms of service carefully they contain important information about the obligations to comply with the employable laws and regulations those are quotes from this airbnb website other than may access and preserve and disclose any of our information if
9:39 pm
required to by law it goes on to say for any jurisdiction collection and remittance of taxes and granted us permissions to transfer data and on the information related to occupancy tax collected related to our tractions so so in any way, shape, or form or anyone else's read of terms of service they don't want to turn it over we're can only implying our gosh mentality needs to stop enforce it by doing more than talking to neighbors. >> thank you very much quinton please. >> next speaker. >> what's our name. >> i'm peter my name was called an hour ago but my name was
9:40 pm
called. >> please peter continue i have your cards i'm the founder the hers in san francisco we have 7 by 7 hundred members and the short time i want to bring up a couple of issuance make a couple of points first of all, i want to point out that the planning department staff recorded quote the data they use show that the medium number of days is about 2 hundred and 57 days this is a contrast of 58 percent days to be a casual and commercial host there's a big difference between 275 and 58 i'll agree by using is 57 day number a lot more casual hosts and fewer commercial hosts and the data in report and setting a cap of 12
9:41 pm
hundred and 5 that days or less defers the hosting and lowering the cap for hosts welling we want to talk about the enforcements many of the supervisors talked how the enforcements and the planning department said their unenforceable the host are required to be report to the planning department for the number of days hosted from that previous year every 2 years the hosts must renew the application so the planning department and the board can simply enhance the format enforcement by requiring strong legislation by the forms it what require under penalty of perjury that the dates are accurate and thirdly it can give the hosts that are

9:43 pm
planning didn't have the data if they're not registration requirement is it been actually listed on any listing regardless of approach and no penalty or no means for toil stopping someone when the law is saying you can't do this more than a certain number of days this is a neighborhood i live in a neighborhood on the monopoly board any street is 4 unit one entire building used as vacation rentals and behind that another 2 unit where one unit is being used a person lives there no one lives in the four unit building because they never returned after a renovation more were they told if you look at this

9:48 pm
harms san franciscans last hadn't even had enough time to get everybody registered we've talked about my biggest concern is changing the legislation by limiting the number of days to short of 365 for a host rental i do decreasing the number of days will be a financial strain and hurt the small businesses in my neighborhood that bend from the extra folks in the neighborhood as someone who works an, an independent contractor that hosting is not nice it is acceptable to make my mortgage and prabs, etc. keep my home up i'll appreciate if you would not limit the number of nights and let the legislation you think fold as it was originally meant to do if changes need to be made
9:49 pm
with enough time lapsed that's how you should do the changes that is too early to make any of the all the times happen. >> (calling names). >> good afternoon, supervisors i'm ferry navend in district 8 i'm a home sharer the extra income helps me to support my father since he suffered a stroke i live with my partner and my 6-year-old son and the person i share with my homing house made i know that is a terrifying prospective to live with someone more than 90 days all the time instead of turning my home two a hotel i've had to make that decision not to break
9:50 pm
the law as we started building this city to house san franciscans i'm here to speak on the commercial use of short-term rentals and their impact on the supply of rent controlled the rash the evictions and the skoths events and this legislation show 16 hundred around listing that is an under count ii didn't count as another supervisors said the how many away and on the 16 hundred to 16 thousand units that is the commercial rents that's the currently illegal use of apartment for over 90 days as hotels can we endorse and those those 3 thousand units out and put them back into the rental market that will achieve 1/3rd of the housing units by 2030
9:51 pm
so how much would it cost the city to build take $10,000 multiplied a one hundred million dollars bond that's the cost of 3 the house unites off the housing market thank you very much supervisors. >> good evening supervisors i feel lime i've been here two weeks ago the results of the statistics i'm not in that mind frame right now i really as a result san franciscan i was born here and went to school and raised any children and worked and retired from the san francisco i've never seen such a crisis or we've seen a lot of people come here from different places or having different cultures and masses of like the
9:52 pm
so-called hippie generation that are supportive but this is beyond sdruchgs it is distribution destruction and the airbnb a small part has an impact on the neighborhoods i grew up in a community no longer living in a community i'm one the thirds o two-thirds of this culture that rents and the remaining some percentage of people that live here because so many people have been adapted i think i support supervisor campos legislation and if it explicit glow the board i'll support it on the bottle i think this is we need more regulation in this city this is a small move not a dramatic thing to do it mate preserve our neighborhoods which the mission
9:53 pm
is right now the target of the whole east side of san francisco has been effected and especially those contingency that people like to rent and live there temporarily because their home like they have good restaurants, etc. but that's for the residents not for tourists we commercial lists san francisco and given it to the one percent i'm - >> thank you tech sf roberto hernandez you still here no bryan please come on up. >> hello supervisors bryan with the aids housing alliance there our several points i know that is a difficult place for you supervisors to be in i'm sure you've spent with time the
9:54 pm
airbnb approach educate on their view it is important to look at almost every tenant in the city ate the san francisco apartments association have gotten together and spent a who bunch of time together we're in agreement that's a rare thing and something to take notation of unfortunately ,those platforms and their business models don't allow for san francisco and this reports under counts the number ever units taken off the math they only have the opportunity to look at one approach people good from approach to approach and a to platform 50 days or 8 days on one approach we're seriously under counting the number of days off the market we did building and promote that trickle down housing policy
9:55 pm
which not a lot of us don't do we have to be consistent we can't say to build build build over here and try to sweep under the carpet all the housing it didn't work that way and also, we have to take into consideration the spill over of the loss of the rental units and have to examine the proposition for the harm for the proportionate good i'm under counting the quality of life is proved improved before i this business i have to look at people that are sharing on sro room people that are homeless and their harm versus you're good - >> roger are you here still all right. pam are you here and

9:57 pm
litigation even if a association files to file for cc&rs the violate can claim a violation average should be required to give the neighbors an opportunity to be heard as at the do with the zoning variance eye otherwise the city allows unauthorized bed-and-breakfast if people want to apply for a b and b license they should be encouraged supervisors that is a zoning issue please protect the zoning laws and the residential neighborhoods. >> thank you. next speaker. and hi, i'm pam i'm a homeowner
