and the final amendment is something that supervisor cowen referenced which say we recognize this ordinance requires a payment amount that's far too difficult for a small landlord to pay so for that reason we've created a process where landlords can request a hardship adjustment and we building that's appropriate. it's fair to recognize that not only all landlord are not equal and when you're dealing with a major corporation the impact of the ordinance will be different and if the board will feels that's justified they can order a reduction in an assistance amount or order a different payment plan or other relieve that the red board dad and mom's priority. those changes taken into context of what's happening are appropriate but the main thing is we feel that this is a pretty modest adjustment >> thank you for that description supervisor campos are those drafted the yet and does the legislation or the amendment in terms of the hardship spell out what constitutes a hardship? the reason i ask and i appreciate you mention and supervisor cowen mention there are obviously differences among landlo

prejudged to grow by another one hundred and 50 thousand people we're creating new housing and supervisor cowen district for sure that's going to continue at hunters point and in supervisor kim's district and in my district you were market and also in supervisor breed and supervisor campos district and obviously development should be happening and we're a transfers versus neighborhood. and i think we it's important that we not just assume that there are only certain neighborhood that can take density and commercial corridors in other parts of city that are transit rich. that's not something i've been public about but i want to make sure we have the transit and housing for a growing city. with that said, there are neighborhood in rh d attached neighborhoods wherewith the cc and r's i'm sympathetic to folks who, you know who have bought into those neighborhoods with a belief and understanding there was a certain type of housing they were buying into in this neighborhood. i would not be supportive of any kind exemption like rh one some suggested that's covers a board basis because of the city. the

complexity of the legislation i need more time but you appreciate i think it is clear >> supervisor cowen. >> thank you very much. i too want to echo a few of the comments that supervisor kim's made. coming to this hearing with as much of an open mind as i think. i think we heard from a lion share of public comment from the folks on the west side of the city but i want to give an idea of what's happening where houses have in law units and i'm finding many of the in law unites are rented to section 8 voucher holders it's important because it's a fragile population if their unable to meet the market and pay the market rent of housing need a section 8. this is nuclear in this sense this is an issue you'll see an entire section of the city. i want to support the comments i'll be happy to move this out of committee but uncomfortable supporting with a positive recommendations. and would would also enjoy a few more days to understand those issue we've got studies from the excelsior but want to talk about to property owners and dig deeper in the dog patch neighborhood. also to the neighbors that
