but i continue to try to do that reporting is another issue we've focused on a single platform on airbnb and making that entity responsible for reporting but we all need to realize there are a number of platforms in the city some of them operate on a different business model the model is not engaged go in the agreement between the sharer and renter and has no number of days involved we have the fact that many shareers advertise on many platforms 0 so the information available to any single platform didn't give a complete picture of the days rents or the activity therefore i believe that platform is fraud and not likely to give us the information that we require so i believe that direct reporting the direct responsibility of a home sharer to the city government in reporting the number of days recorded maybe the best ways for the shares to be reliable for obtaining cap enforcement is another issue and a lot of emphasize on private right of action i don't discount that but i don't think as a day to day method of enforcing an ordinance the most practical or the most best option i'm glad to s

has been unwilling to take upon itself it is saying we're not going to make airbnb responsible but we're going to make you as individual hosts responsible if you look at the hotel industry that would be like local government saying the individual hoot has no rocket in terms of the hotel tax it is the individual who stays at the owe ho hotel that has that responsibility how r remarkable is that that you walk away from placing responsibility on the corporate players that not only have the resources to actually carry out this responsibility but corporate players that are making a lot of money you're talking about turning your back on the hosting community to protect a $23 billion corporation and saying you individual hosts have to do what airbnb until this point has refused to do that is remarkable it is truly remarkable and it is truly a sign of the times if this passes today we have done not only the incredible job of making the mayors legislation worse but we have actually taken the unprecedented step of going beyond what the true did colleagues, i is this as someone who has my own speci

hosting community to protect a $23 billion corporation and saying you individual hosts have to do what airbnb until this point has refused to do that is remarkable it is truly remarkable and it is truly a sign of the times if this passes today we have done not only the incredible job of making the mayors legislation worse but we have actually taken the unprecedented step of going beyond what the true did colleagues, i is this as someone who has my own specific views about the mayors proposal i think that going down this path of placing the responsibilities an individual hosts without any responsibility on this corporation sends the wrong message not only about short-term rentals but it sends the wrong megabit the state of affairs of san francisco today we can't go down the path where we say that individuals have to follow rules by corporations do not that's not that's not the san francisco that the people of this city deserve so i will be proudly going against the amendment (clapping.) >> supervisor wiener. >> supervisor christensen. >> thank you madam president ii ran a small business for th

didn't hear taking out from line 6 we heard you folks couldn't come up with africa example what if airbnb posted on analysis proclaiming all the problems with regulations and then they said we encourage you to monitor news stories and make our views known well someone posted on the facebook and some might write a letter or call the supervisor or mayor that's indirect we didn't say we urge you to contact our supervisors or planning commissioners there are indirect reasons that's why you take outline 67 the dribble or indirectly only applies to making payment listings directly or indirectly to the making payment if you take out directly or indirectly you'll cause a problem still the astro turf possibility of the developers and real estate people architect additional contractor all can festivity on us thank you. >> good evening commissioner mark solomon i urge you to forward this to the voters for the election in november there are issues raised commissioner hayon mentions in the like its third reading come stay and airbnb advertising is not you need to go ahead and talk to your supervisors

that is because the city has become the latest to crack down on the home sharing site airbnb.hey have imposed new taxes and regulations on airbnb, including a rule that owners have to be present on the property throughout the visit. kate moody explains. kate: a trip to barcelona is getting less convenient. the city offers more rooms through sites like airbnb than through traditional hotels, and authorities are now dating latin -- laying down the law. tourists staying in private residences will we subject to a $.65 per night tax. it will be subject to two rooms for property for at most four months per year, and the owners will have to be present for the duration of their guest stay. that means this regular airbnb host will have to stop renting out his studio apartment for 100 euros per night when he goes away. >> the money help me pay for vacations and little luxuries. i didn't do it often, maybe three or four times a year for extra cash. kate: the government expects the measure to bringing 10 million euros to 15 million euros over the next three years. barcelona find airbnb 30

sort of distract attention hey you're getting screwed by having those responsibilities instead of airbnb hfa having those responsibilities but i'll limit you to 60 days i have a different prospective on that and frankly you don't want i don't have a problem with requiring hosts to have certain robots under the legislation if you're doing short-term rentals whether airbnb or craigslist or all on your own you have a responsibility to keep records and report to comply with the law and so on and so forth so i wanted to express that a different prospective on that issue i also wanted to follow up on the question of supervisor cohen asked of supervisor yee i think that is a really important question we have had discussions in the past about rh1 d frankly a tiny group of neighborhoods in the scheme of the city of very nourishing structured neighborhoods that are concentrated in supervisor yee's district in the past i have been supportive of systems addressing the specific needs of our rh1 d neighborhoods you know this amendment goes well beyond that i understand the rational and not critical of

i said that with the company's cfo to talk about competition from google and airbnb.irst our lead -- microsoft is considering an investment in uber in a valuation of $50 billion, but a final decision has not been made. microsoft declined to comment but uber recently bought a portion of microsoft bing mapping unit from the software giant and they are integrating uber into the court on a voice control assistant, which means you can use microsoft devices. with me in the studio is hunter walk who will be my guest host for the show today. also, technalysis research founder bob mcdonnell and crawford del prete. thank you for joining us. dina, i will start with you because the wall street journal is reporting this deal is close. you say a deal is not done yet. what is really happening? dina: i was told microsoft has not participated in a round as not made an investment but rather they are considering an investment. there are discussions ongoing and evaluation would be about $50 billion. that is what i heard from a person who asked not to be identified because the deal is pri

this proposed legislation not have that i believe that how nonprofits do business is different than airbnb and uber that is in the course of work they do detail while they're working for the budget system and educating their constituents the voluble san franciscans i'm struggling with them and this is arguably full disclosure i work for a nonprofit there is a significant amount of entrants that asks are you an advocacy and lobbyist organizations and many of the organizations that are receiving any kind of funding foundation fund will make no, if in their not a policy advocacy orchestrates it seems to me they'll have to register as that in which case to make a decision to continue to say that or because of this have to mark themselves as a lobbyist so within that activist i've not directly asked commissioner vice president haney the example would you consider that an expenditure lobbyists. >> the activity and the expenditure they have over the town hall to educate the community around income and equality. >> let's go to our experts in regards to other jurisdictions and the way this language

whereas airbnb is different.irbnb is like this mass movement, where everyone is staying in other people's houses worldwide. jessica: we were skeptical, though. i just remember thinking, we don't really care what the idea is. these founders are awesome. we are funding them. paul: patrick collison from stripe, i have known since he was, like, 14. back when he was this high school kid in ireland, he used to email me questions about the lisp programming language, and i had no idea he was a kid. emily: now that these companies are worth multi-billions of dollars, when you look back, if they had had the opportunity, would they have sold? paul: almost everyone, if someone came along with a big enough offer at the right moment, would have taken it. we do know with drew, actually, because in the y combinator application early on, we used to ask, if someone came along and offered you money for your company right after y.c., what is the least you would take? i think drew answered $1 million. so it's really convenient for ev

like to point out two of the suggests we made one is that you protect us from encroachment of the airbnb types of units in the audience side adu's are going to be in the event and degeneration special, special status and special dispensation from being identified as adu's we don't feel the airbnb category or i should says the airbnb use should be applied i want to make a point that the budget analyst policy analysis report executive summary on short-term rentals didn't cover this wirmz hey, it is or not a problem secondarily we feel that in the interest of the property owners that if an adu is created that an adu can be removed without discretionary review by the property owner if a change in that property owners living situation were to arise and under any case we support the legislation we feel that the improvements we've suggested can be made into the legislation or in other ways but we feel those are important thank you very much. >> thank you >> next speaker. >> >> okay. i'm supporting the adu's and he see this very much as a situation we are in a state of trauma and emergency secon

airbnb rooms should be rented out?> i think it is a false ceiling. >> you think it's a false cap. >> why should the government be involved in that? whenever the government gets involved in things, sopa and others. >> but you are telling us to get involved in the government. when i look at the regulatory processes in san francisco, the city is operating -- they are operating off of data that the new york state government has subpoenaed. you don't have a lot of actual transparency into how large the short term rental market is in san francisco. what do you think about data sharing? >> once again, i think the government does not have a right to send in some bureaucrat to examine the records of airbnb's hosts. we talk about the nsa, now we have a municipality saying we want to inspect the records of your host. >> aggregate? >> it was aggregate and anonymized, maybe that was reasonable. but with this, they want every ounce of data about airbnb hosts. >> just for context, it looks like airbnb will be on the ballot in novembe

airbnb received another round of financing.epresentatives for airbnb and laxton declined to comment. i want to get to pandora now also reporting, shrugging off apple music, and investors celebrate. they do not expect much in back from the new competition. joining me with more, amy in new york and the capital founder in l.a. amy, i want to start with you. highlights, raising the forecast -- act of listeners -- listening hours flat. what is the story for you? guest: the rpm's really nice and beat our estimates. so, i think the key story is closing the gap with traditional radio broadcasting. emily: we saw the reveal of apple music. we sat down with the founder of pandora to talk about how big a threat he thinks it is. take a listen. guest: there is a lot of novelty in this space. they do not become habitual products are folks. we tend to shed those in a hurry. ultimately it is about simplicity. people want to hit a button and here stuff they love without too much fuss. emily: the founder of pandora does not think apple music is a

but in the airbnb scenario currently and in our hearing in february airbnb refuses to act against thethe units. so the attorney general, for example, found that two-thirds of the rentals on airbnb are illegal. flat-out illegal. if airbnb were willing to step up and, for example, weed out all of those rentals and truly -- >> you're fighting illegal activity. >> am i allowed to let my buddy from chicago crash at my place? >> absolutely. especially if you're there. >> how is it different from airbnb? >> you're not leaving and getting -- >> if i'm gone. if i leave town and, say, for two weeks david, you and your family, feel free. use the place as you like as you see fit. pay me $50 a day. >> okay. so if your board allows to you do that in your building perhaps you get a pass. most boards will not allow that to happen and, in fact people are finding that they're being evicted out of their homes because their board doesn't like it. >> my question would be how effective you can be here. on the one hand if you were really i.t. savvy could you go on to airbnb and sort out instantly the city c

piece of legislation or a city election but not having direct contact for example situations uber and airbnb have spent large amazes amounts of money for mobilizing people to come down to city hall for various types of things that were on before the board of supervisors or 09 matters spent fairly large expenditures in terms of training for those people meetings and lobbyists be lobbying and chore leading efforts and transporting them no where is it in regards to how those measures are being affected that those high paying paid to play characters were involved in spending a great deal of money influencing city policy i think in terms of the interested persons meeting colleagues it was clear that everyone agreed that in terms of the people in san francisco they should know what sort of money is being spent and who is spend in native americans to measures before our city government we shouldn't have a hidden pay to play not a question or outlawing they can do it unfortunately, because of the decisions like citizens united, anybody can pretty much government can be corrupted by money very easily

and those parts don't fit well, we're hearing issues of double reporting i think in some ways the airbnb that hires hires the big fancy lobbying firm putting those ads and doing this information their filing as contract lobbyists and only closer the conversation for the firm whereas the nonprofit has to itemize all expenditures at one thousand delores we're not on equal footing i urge you to continue the discussion no rush i encourage you to take a few more months maybe only another meeting and hash outlets put things with work on the ballot or before did board thank you. >> thank you. >> good evening, commissioners my name is chris wright the executive director of the committee on jobs and registered contact lobbyist just to i guess refer to some of the comments before i'm concerned about double report as a contact lobbyist i have to file which is fine i love the net file system it is great i would hope that the commission and the staff are combrrnd in this legislation to make it as seem also as possible not to file another paper reports or have to pay another fee or whatever it should

last month, airbnb received another round of financing. company is projecting revenue of $900 million this year up from two under $50 million in 2013. in 2015.illion representatives from airbnb declined to comment. i want to get to pandora now, also reporting, shrugging off apple music, and investors celebrate. they do not expect much in back from the new competition. joining me with more, amy in new york and the capital founder in l.a. amy, i want to start with you. some of the highlights, raising and listening, hours flat. what are the highlights for you? amy: monetization. the rpm's really nice and beat our estimates. so, i think the key story is monetization and closing the gap with traditional radio broadcasting. emily: we saw the reveal of apple music. we recently sat down with pandora founder tim westergren to talk about how big a threat he thinks it is. take a listen. tim westergren: there is a lot of novelty in this space. they are compelling, but they do not become habitual products. we tend to shed those in a hurry. ultimately i

tonight, one million people will sleep underneath the roof of an airbnb. there are so many problems that we need you as a generation to solve. so again, i challenge you, tell us, tell me what problems you'll solve. i see natalie padilla said getting more help for people who have cancer. jalen, who is in the audience, a graduate, says climate change. these problems you have been given all the tools from las positas college to solve. and i hope as you go along your path, as you continue to find mentors and teachers, that you'll remember that you have two hands. one to continue to reach up and receive more skills to solve the problems around us.

well we think airbnb is an incredible solution for business travel.r extra space or maybe a kitchen 0or a washer/dryer, place to wash your clothes while you're on the go. people are using it for extended trips, group travel. so we want to provide tools that are going to make it easier for businesses to manage. >> i know you said you've signed up 250 companies, i find it hard maybe with new york with the corporate environment here to see business travelers staying at strangers' apartments. why is this a good solution? >> well you know business trips are the trips you have to take. not necessarily the ones you want to take all the time. this gives people a way to make the most of the trip and have an exciting experience. if you're going to singapore for the first time you want to have a truly authentic experience regardless of whether you're traveling on business or leisure. we offer these travelers the opportunity to do that now. >> you but also need an assurance that you are not going to run into an unsavory situation, i know they are on your platform
