7:42 am
rules set by the eastern neighborhood now it non-compliant without hears and no notice when we talk about fairness and equality it proposal is not working in general we need a proposal that helped with housing for all income levels in housing creates more housing opportunity the idea that it displaces people is incorrect adding this moratorium will only add to the list of failed policies and effect the blue-collar worker it claims to protect thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good evening supervisors i'm a samuel contractor and developer here 90 in san francisco i worked in a lot of buildings around the city
7:43 am
whether it is raping or putting in the foundations windows or doors a lot of them in the mission over the last 25 years i'm completely against any displacing anybody i don't feel it is right we're a smaller contractors company we financed our own promotions i think that changing the rules in this situation changing the rule of the game is not fair as when the rules are made up something creative could be done in the meantime but the fact of changing the rules i'm against it time. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> you can speak at the podium

7:47 am
basis of the stories i've heard this evening and semiemphasis with the feeling and again, i'm speaking for everyone here we're looking forward for a solution i've work for the past 20 odd years with builders if a personal experience the vast majority of those men and women have built in san francisco for generations and decades ignore the entire city's history that the vast majority are also people of modest means and counting nails and borrowing against their homes and retirement to provide hours for the city's residents it any surprise people to know that, in
7:48 am
fact, many of the builders don't city projects the irony it costs so much to constrict in those towns to ask the vendors to build lower-income housing is not relevant i'm against the moratorium it restricts the ability of the thank you topanga for tax and finance for other needs in the housing development. >> thank you, sir. thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi, i'm born and raised in san francisco i work and live in this city and i think we all agree there is a housing shortage but i'm concerned about the moratorium condoning that crisis and marking the mraerts worse and what is currently available i come from a small family xuks an
7:49 am
immigrant family we do a lot of good work and important them or work in the city and a band on the mission essentially putting a band on all the contractor or contractors if you put a moratorium it is an impact a moratorium can capital improvement plan. >> can you pause the speakers time. >> excuse me. >> thank you. can you continue, please. >> sure a moratorium can cripple the low income emigrated builders i don't think stopping the construction is the right answer a more turn for 45 days will not prevent evictions and displacement that will prevent a

whole construction industry from going to work so moratorium will not help with affordability or displacement that's all i have to say. >> thank you. >> good evening supervisors tax thanks for being patient with the group you're dealing with i'm morris a san francisco resident for 28 years and member - >> excuse me. there's a member that is speaking can we please hear him speak thank you. >> i've been a san francisco resident for 28 years and member of the residential builders association been working in construction in san francisco in all neighborhoods and the mission especially the mission in the last 10 to 12 years in the 60s are 70s was amongst the
7:51 am
rich based in san francisco we too get moved on and i'm sure we have 10 thousand people a year moving to san francisco everything changes and time passes by i respect the views of the people that are here tonight that support of moratorium but i think it is not the fix in our situation i think the ellis act and displacement from tic is the basis of the hub there's a lot of the empty sites in the mission district and no one is being displaced not the way to move forward thank you, again, for this evening. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> madam president and supervisors john with the residential brltdz first of all i'd like to say we're also opted to local evictions and if it is
7:52 am
true there is 40 percent of the admission for airbnb building something needs to be done with that it is very important i wag all the speakers we need to create for affordable housing but i disagree with the way to accomplish it and i think by placing a moratorium on in the mission area we're going to pit more pressure on the exist hours i'd like to reflect back a little bit on the eastern neighborhoods plan that was a property process that was took 10 years to put in place everybody got a chance to participate from the time the eir was introduced in april of 2008 to december of 2008 i can talk about the public hearings they were held in commission presentation was at ludicrously

7:57 am
have said has vetted there was a great effort to do innertion in the transportation corridor and in exchange la large fees were paid to the city to help with all the aspects of the city so to paraphrase san francisco chronicle editorial in the 30th of may entitled no way to ease a how's crisis the halt everything plan is counter productive a short time solution in construction shall not displace the existing units that it may displace commercial new contradiction jaltsdz a minimum of 12 percent onsite or number two, fees for fees existing housing shall be higher priced
7:58 am
because of the pressure there's a number of solutions already in the pipeline mayor lee's 2 henry adams and $50 million for the 2 hundred units and tdr can generate as many as 50 units this moratorium is unfunded and not the right solution there are bug problems this is not the solution. >> next speaker if you're in line to speak again, you'll not be allowed the opportunity to speak and i disagree sprong with the moratorium but agree with most of the speakers we have a crisis and as a a how's leader and you
