ms. goosen, did you have a presentation prepared? no. let's go to public comment. i have a stack of the cards here. dale carlson. jim lazarus, peter quan, ed bell. dan nu feld. rodolpho. and karen cansino and if there is anyone who would like to speak, you can do so after the folks that i have called. thank you. >> dale carlson, share better san francisco. they have traditionally used a subscription model to pay an annual fee to list properties on their website. they are moving to a model more similar to airbnb and they are too going to be taking a commission, a percentage of every rental. i think it's ironic that we're here today. give that airbnb spent $10 million last year telling us how much they hated the idea of neighbors suing neighbors. here they are suing us. their hometown neighbors. portland adopted similar ones on their listings long before san francisco and airbnb didn't raise a squawk and spent $10 million bragging about the hotel tax revenue that they pay to the city each year and admonished us not to spend it in one place, but now to spend it defend
