so, i'd like to thank the hundreds of san francisco residents that were with us today and that we will build through november who have spoken out and identified real estate speculation as the main culprit causing san francisco's housing crisis and have asked all offices to step forward to help us move this measure to protect our city. here's how it will work. it will create a graduated real estate transfer tax, short-term flip property. when a profit is being made off of the sale. if the resale is within the first year of purchase then the tax will be 24% of the retail price. within two years, 22%. three years, 20%. up to five years at 14%. if you buy property and hold onto it for five years or longer it doesn't impact you at all. the tax also focuses specifically on greedy speculators. it does not apply at all to six categories. single-family homes or condos, owner occupied tics or tenancy in commons, new construction, buildings over 30 units. when a property owner sells their property at a loss, and lastly, sales to create permanently affordable housing. we know that speculation leads to i
