the tenderloin. realized that there was a huge opportunity for people to educate themselves about homelessness in san francisco because it is something that the city, for better or worse, is known for. instead of ignoring that segment of town -- because you do not typically think of it as a tourist destination -- we wanted to see what were the strengths that it could bring as a tourism opportunity? our guide has now made enough money to buy a cell phone so that he can operate more of these tours, and it has spread to personalities such as the author, who recommended it to all of his friends, and the deputy mayor of atlanta who came on the tour to inform his homeless policy in atlanta. we really see the reach of this, not only taking people into other underserved communities, but really redefining what tourism is. it is such a huge moneymaker for the city, but also, we are now attracting locals and other people who would not necessarily think to go on a tour or to pay for an experienced to now pay for them. >> we see a really wide variety of those that are part of our community. you might think often people think that college students would be out running around town d

the city charter of san francisco is written is such a way it wants to preserve the character of the various neighborhoods we have here and for better or worse, in law units are a vital component of the neighborhoods and by fiat the cities if they wanted to could simply order the eviction of everyone in an illegal unit at a date certain. but it doesn't do that. with benign neglect most tenants are left alone to live in so-called illegal units indefinitely and those are subject to lease agreements that are enforcible by law. in this case, again, there's been no health code violation or any other violation or even inspection by the building inspector that would suggest there's anything about my unit that is a blight on the city or something to be removed, certainly not on a timetable that would just by a day or even a fraction of a day happen to prevent me from getting at least the relocation benefits i would otherwise have qualified for. i think a fair reflection of the city charter would be to balance the rights between the ability to remove illegal units when they are egregious violations, safety violations putting peoplality risk, and when
