6:09 am
>> hi, i'm austin hunter when i moved to the city as a student i moved into a 23 bedroom apartment with 6 people i moved to san francisco because we have progressive policies in those city that worked towards solution this moratorium doesn't protect the tenants or stop evictions or increase funding for affordable housing the only thing is x rates the problem the article - it puts it on the track to building more housing in a smart way the moratorium didn't provide a step along the road to softly the housing crisis people will continue to move to san francisco whether a 2 bedroom apartment or luxury condo downtown selma we need to increase our avenue, i ask the board to vote no on the
