As Asian Pacific americans are facing extraordinary challenges at this time, not only because of the pandemic, but also because the rising tide of antiasian violence. This reminds us about history when Asian Americans became scapegoats. The immigration station and the japanese americans during world war 2, the asian communities have been through it all and thats wh
Rent, why dont they forego their salaries and house the tenants, instead of making some landlord, old people like me, suffer the burden . Thank you. Clerk thank you for your comments.

Hello, caller . Hello . Clerk you have two minutes to speak for Public Comment, maam. Next speaker, please. Can you hear me . Can you hear me . Clerk yes. Im the owner of a rental in San Francisco. I am the first generation who squirrelled away funds for a down payment. I made sure i upheld all of my objections, and i make sure that im up to date on all the rentals and maintain the building in the standard that i would live in, which is a high standard, by the way. When the moratorium on evictions passed, i made sure that i didnt put anyone in a bad way, on account of a tenant not paying their rent. This deferral,
Coffee or something. Lets maouts our microphones unless were talking. Hi, even. My name is mark morowitz, the Health Commission secretary. Im going to flash the side again to explain how to make Public Comment. The phone number is 8883634734. And the access code is 2241350. Once youre on that line, you will be able to listen in on the meeting and when you want to make Public Comment, you press 1 and 0 in order yes, 10 in order to get on to the line for a specific item. For those of you who are watching on sfgov tv, a reminder that there is a delay on what youre seing from what the live meeting is. So, i encourage you to get on the Public Comment line one item before you intend to speak so that youre on in time. That way there will be no timing issues. And, again, we apologize profusely for the issues at the last meeting. Commissioners, is it ok to go on to the next item, item 2, the minutes . Thank you, mark. If commissioners have had the opportunity to review the minutes, without does

As long as im paying all the bills and personally putting in all the efforts to maintain and carry the building, i should have a say in whether i forgive or delay rent payments. Let me work it out with the tenant if they should need more time to pay their back rent, as i have done in the past. This ordinance is beyond an overreach. I cant imagine how this ordinance has any legal basis to pass, but at a minimum, you should put in that they are required to put in a reasonable for deferred rent under penalty of perjury and make it a definable time limit. I respectfully ask that you vote know as 200375, and for the commenter who called landlords grubby owners, we provide a servi
