dollar in hotel taxes and every month the host makes between 5 hundred and one thousand dollars that same day in the morning he put-down out a statement on the website saying the will average host makes more than one thousand dollars each month. and he put out a previous statement the same thing april 19th well i did not see the whole page i've got to tell you there's no mathematical system ♪ universe where those two numbers live together if you're doing one thousand dollars a month as a host in san francisco the most of the tax that airbnb is paying is close to 7 hundred in you're getting one million dollars in

tax each host is making over $18,000 take everything airbnb says - >> thank you. >> is there another speaker that wants to comment on that andrew is that you, please come on up. >> i work with the san francisco tenants union born and raised in san francisco it is indeed ironic as supervisor campos said as supervisor wiener and supervisor farrell championed a rhetoric of push back of the providing that data that makes this legislation enforceable and this concern about data privacy a reaction to text messages between agencies whether should i i didn't or

racism i it cops it was dictated that got those bad overlooks if you have nothing to hide why are you worried about when a report to done to analyze the short-term rental responsibility e reports there's so many doubts of an objective analysis and perhaps that place a question on this might be advised to question with similar rigor their own idealogy it used this to suggest we need more housing apply for the basic facts as supervisor farrell supervisor farrell says of housing only when the data contradicts the how's ideal metrological you can't have it both because with

that said, i strongly supported supervisor campos legislation we need to regulate those short-term rentals. >> thank you alex are you here you already spoke. >> okay chuck. >> welcome. >> thank you for trying to pronounce my last name i'm charles a long time resident of san francisco a recent retire indicator educator i pay 8 thousand there's a year to san francisco in property tax it is i think bunt to take care of my dabbled daughter my wife and i are spending several thousand dollars to model model our unit we're licensed as everyone else is spoken but actuality that the kind of regulation that is proposed the thirty or 60 over

and over 90 or hundred and 20 days any kind of days doesn't admit my swugs with all due respect it didn't work for me we're not taking a unit off the market that was no unit on the mark overwhelmingly that unit is true of my people in the room i don't have time to explain supervisors why i'm not going to be able to rented it for hundred 20 dies or 60 days didn't work what i know that be true, sir and ma'am my story is no more than valid whether they agree but i believe in talking to the economic itself to limit the number of days is no way enough to solve a complex economic problem there's a ocean of problem between someone i am

reintroducing to maintain their home in san francisco and perhaps in our district go who cleans out a building and evicts a bad tenants we need to know the difference tven the two one-size-fits-all limiting the number of days didn't limit this it is a bad what are you to remove a bad law. >> thank you oh, cecelia garcia (laughter) just kidding dennis. >> i like fruits too then take it away. >> i'm dennis a city planning commissioner i'm here as a private citizen one of the things i don't want to take away all the good work by supervisor chiu i've sat here painful listening to the data, etc. we

don't is reliable data that's the issue important one area we need to focus on the bad actors how do euphoric on the bad actors you have to get reliable data the planning recommendation for hosting platforms lies the valid register number is the lynch pin the protective analyze report you'll hosting platforms need to have a valid register before lisa house i think there are different listing models i get that from hosting platforms so have it this will level the playing field for all hosting platforms is drives good and efficient enforcement and good plo seattle and seal beach is

trying to do this we need to do it for the actresses that don't want to cooperate let's the city attorney shut them down we can prepare the city and the platforms and the hosts and outline compliance and everyone get time to adapt this is moving forward with that new type of arrangement i want to say complaint based systems terrible idea usual pushing your enforcement into me that's a bad idea and has got to go the city's job to enforce that with good data. >> next speaker. >> (calling names). >> hi, i'm a 31 year-old adult that grew up in benchmarking i moved to san francisco in 09 and

this kind of sales contrary job you have a better roll call moved in with my cousins any cousins had issues moved out got someone on craigslist i was afraid of making rent i'm a pro tenants right. i shared the tenant rights to him like if i was a landlord charging exactly half the rents about 6 months in he lost his job it happened 3 more times and the next roommate had trouble making rents i couldn't make the rodent on my own i was a fan of new people and experiences and that is something that airbnb offers me it is an incredible service i decide how much of my space i went to an after party yesterday

and walk in closest was the size of my entire closet i said i'm a host and average i understand if you want to rent out half ever that is a good way to get a roommate especially one you're not going to be getting an i think sight airbnb offers a one-million dollar insurance policy is helps the customer and host i'm a customer of airbnb if i come to san francisco i can assure you i'll not been able to pay $550 a night i charge 80 donors dollars a night and they find it nice and fair and guest rooms. >> thank you, mary listen are you here edwardo and others

rent there are many people like him struggling to get by to them unlimited short-term rentals are a god sent i urge you to keep the distinction between hosted and non-hosted rental spelled out in the law hosting when your there and restricted on the latter at times you're not there i realize there are abuses in the system and need better enforcement let's clamp down on the profiteders i stand with supervisor farrell on the idea of a establishing a short-term rental administration to deal with that problem. >> i'm afraid the planning

department might not be up to the task which brings me to the new report from the budget and analyst office reporting to show how airbnb rentals have a negative impact anyone that is read the report knows how flawed it is just ask supervisor farrell i'll close by saying give a fair chance to the law that took effect february 1st, let's help my tenants to stay in san francisco think of this as an affordable unit measure use short term to live here long term thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> jennifer. >> hi jennifer coalition open homelessness. you know when airbnb when i first heard about it the quasi it was described it was kind of

like a low income way to travel a hippie thing you sleep on people's couches and through a cat's on the floor clearly at that power point it is totally different 2 thousand units that are taken off the market in san francisco we have a serious problem a situation in san francisco as everyone is pooifl away of a huge housing crisis when it comes to people come out housing they have the most negative impacts of that housing impacts on them they expect their life expectancy to be short and large amount of families homeless and children are experiencing homeless and thousands and thousands of people that disabilities and a huge problem when folks make

massive profit by rent out like hotels it is time to halt that practice enacts are devastating for the coalition at homelessness we see everyday what the impacts and what was drying up used to be casual living arrangements people could share a flat their drying up with the short-term rentals folks could get together and families take in other families those are drying up for communities as a matter of law people are living in horrendous conditions i'll ask the board to step in and pass the legislation to limit airbnb and the rest of the short-term rental companies >> okay keith is there a
