i understand that for many san franciscoans this is something that is needed. however, left unregulated, this industry will continue to exacerbate the housing crisis we are facing by incentivizing taking housing off the housing market. colleagues, i ask for your support and let me go through some of the key points in my legislation. one, prohibiting hosting platforms from listing units not on the city's short term rental registry and fining those platforms if they fail to do so. under current law, hosting platforms can continue to profit from illegal listings without any accountability for facilitating illegal activity. there are more than 5,000 san francisco listings currently on air b and b alone and 1200 on vrbo, holding the platforms themselves accountable and imposing the fines will make sure that thrill legal activity stops. anne marie rogers of the planning department as well as commissioner dennis richards and commissioner cindy wu have always referred to these as the city's linchpin rr of the city's law. no. 2, require hosting platforms to provide data

for a non-profit here in the city and gets lot of donations from many caring city city city -- san franciscoans and from percentage wise i would know what dollar amount came in and when it was donated by. that said, i was wondering if you had any understanding or knowledge of the donor acknowledgment process that supervisor ferrell and his committee did. anyone who donated, is there a letter that goes out on behalf of the committee that thanked them for their contribution both in the primary and this secondary committee? i think there might be a misunderstanding here. supervisor ferrell, the only involvement between his committee and the voters committee were three e-mails that his consultant sent to e-mails. but his campaign people said they have no involvement at all. the only way they knew who the donors of the committee were from the website. >> my question stands well within the committee to reelect mark ferrell do you have any knowledge or understanding of what their process was? >> only the most general where they would have sent a thank you letter. >> my organization does it within 48 h

we have visitors who will say, i never knew this was here and i'm a native san franciscoan. they wonder how long it's been here. when i tell them next year we'll get to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the park, . >> good afternoon, everyone this meeting will come to order. >> all right. the meeting will come to order and this is the regularly scheduled san francisco land use & transportation committee i'm commissioner grieco chair of that committee to my right is supervisor wiener and to my left is supervisor jane kim o

something more san franciscoan agree they want to see. most importantly, the very premise of the resolution before us with the stated goal of establishing a population based police staffing policy. the population growth is the sole factor policy makers should determine the size thf police. this is far too simplistic and not even appropriate. supervisor avalos mentioned the basing police staffing on population is total inappropriate. yes, it may make sense to link fundsing of transportation or education based on population size. arguebly a larger pop ulation may need to more riders on muni assuming all the residence don't decide to drive or walk. crime doesn't grow with population. it isn't like there is a consistent number of a population that commits crime. as the population has grown in san francisco so thaz the number of property crimes, but at the same time violent crime went down. crimeerate isn't link today population number. we can grow another 200 thousand residence and crime rate may not go up at all. now let's address the approa

up with a good solution to allow us to enforce against the abusers while not harming the many san franciscoans who are relying on these short term rentals. >> supervisor kim. >> thank you. want to make a couple of comments about both proposed ordinances that are before us today and the continuance. there are 4 primary issues i want to discuss, no. 1 being the hard cap. the hard cap was the no. 1 issue for me during the discussions last fall over the debate around short term rentals. it was clear to me then and still is that enforcement is impossible the way the legislation is written short of giving everyone that registers an electronic monitoring bracelet, there is no way for the city and the planning department to know whether a host has slept in their unit that night or not. and i have brought up an example previously where i felt that government could do overreaching in ways that would violate someone's privacy to get an understanding of that, and i don't want the city to engage in that type of investment. i'm glad to see that both proposals that are moving forward have a hard ko*p on host

we san franciscoans love our food and desserts are no exceptions. there are places that specialize in any and every dessert your heart desires, from hand made ice cream to organic cakes, artisan chocolate and cupcakes galore, the options are endless. anyone out there with a sweet tooth? then i have a great stop for you. i've been searching high and low for some great cookies and the buzz around town that anthony's are those cookies. with rave reviews like this i have to experience these cookies for myself and see what the fuss was all about. so let's see. while attending san francisco state university as an accountinging major, anthony's friend jokingly suggested he make cookies to make ends make. with no formal culinary training he opened his own bakery and is now the no. 1 producer of gourmet cookies in the biarea and thank you for joining us on quick bites. how do you feel? >> i feel great. >> so i want to get to the bottom of some very burning questions. why cookies? >> it was a recommendation from a friend. hard to believe that's how it all sta
