thank you. >> >> next speaker. >> my name is kathy i'm also a native san franciscan. i'm a former san francisco school teacher accrual san francisco volunteer i've lived in all my life i raised my children in the city i'm against the current legislation because one 0 single rented units with buildings with multiple apartment will be turned into short time rentals. this willes bat the extreme shortage of affordable housing and of long term housing in the city actually what i meant to say. the whole city will be rezoned turning homes into guest homes and - secondly, grossly unfair to hold landlords accountant to rent control and allow the tenants to profit without restriction or permission from the landlord or from other tenants in the building. by the tame token a landlord should in the be allowed to circumvent it by turning it into a short term rental and finally yes. i realize he also this is a new economy changed by the internet but regulation needs to be put in place and zone needs to be replaced and health and safety issues address and liability insurance required.

pushing san franciscans out of san francisco whether you're a landlord who is ellis acting to establishment all each year around bed-and-breakfast this will apply though per day finances and penalty if you engagement in that activity on the other hand, we've heard that short-term rentals and human resources have allowed struggling san franciscans to afford to live in our city senior citizens on a fixed income and families traveling for vacation and workers xhoountd and artist our legislation says if you're a permanent resident an individual that lives in the city 9 months of the year and play by the rules and register with our city so if there's issues we can address them and pay our full share of taxes that means tens of million dollars of delores to the city so long as you pay liability shushes and not undermining rent control laws i also want to thank land use as well as the members of the public and the stakeholders that have addressed concerns from the first legislation let me 13450ir some of the changes we've made we've addressed concerns brought by the affordable housing community ex

so, and among the 35 to 50-year-olds, we have a higher birthrate than the women state wide. >> san franciscans in general will earn more than their peers state wide, however, gender based income disparities do persist, and here you have median and men and women working in san francisco and you will notice that the women are earning ten to 20 percent less for the same work compared to men the graph shows the gender, i am sorry, the median annual income by gender for the various sectors of the work. and so you will notice that 52 percent of women work in the management business, science or arts and but they are earning $15,000 less than their counter male counter parts and this is true across all sectors. so this may lead to partially why there are more women living in poverty in san francisco than there are men and over all 16 percent of women live in poverty and when we break that down by age, that proportion goes up to 23 percent for women who are 75 or older, and then, for women, who are in families, this is, especially, important issue, because, the bar, all the way to the left is all famil

respect of a lot of commuters in the tech community and the sort of overall sentiment of the san franciscans san francisco has lost the sense of community air b and b is injecting interacting with the host and being an ambassador for all my international guests helps to shine a lights on the city regarding the legislation i'm opposed to my 90 day rule. i'm opposed to the registry for the statements for some of the data sharing project that was given earlier today. i do not oppose the hotel tax, however, i would be spelling the last name skeptical about the money being tacked into the general fund and how it effects my neighborhood specifically thank you. >> >> next speaker. >> mr. welch. >> calvin watching san francisco information clearing house. 7 doables when mr. owens spoke i believe it was 7 hours ago i was struck by the arguments of every sunset home share the last speaker said they're all for the legislation they want no limitation on the uses and not sure how to collect the taxes here's the difficulty i have if you can game a system of speaking before the board of supervisors which i

as an environmentalist in our children an environmentalist in our community and so proud that san franciscans have continuallyly voted to support initiates that fund early education in our community we'll have the opportunity in the not so distant future to do that again and commit to education as a superintendant in the unified school district i'm extremely proud to have a school board that is focused on equality in our policies in how we serve our communities our equality resoluted that means this year you'll hear us speak and see us do many things around closing the chuchlt gap? near future we'll have on board a special assistant to the superintendant that will focus on african-american students learning in san francisco. and you may ask why well, the reason is that we are indischarge oflogies our african-american population in san francisco we know a city as diverse as san francisco can't be the world-class city we are if we don't have our students achieving so we're ushering banished this are about how we're going to double down on our services and supports of inclusion of all students i

which you have done a lot, and as a general manager mentioned it always pays, and it always does san franciscans right when we have experienced people whose heart is in the right place. i have not known you for too long, but i have known you coming here to city hall, but i have seen you in action in sacramento while you were on the podium and i was in the audience, so this came as a surprise and anson moran using the rules in order to entertain this process that we're having, so i would like to thank you on behalf of all san franciscans for contributing a lot. for example, when we had this debate on the survey that was taken solar, cac and so on and so forth. you truly saw that segments of the population of san francisco that were not included in the survey in a meaningful way, but you brought it to the attention of those doing the survey that should be revisited. whenever we talk about quality of life issues we should empower those that need help most, and you know that because before you were a young senator you were involved in a lot of what we call today environmental issues, and if you are
