Came to pru wigs. The parallels between that time and today are striking. Rents are again skyrocketing and low and middle income people are being priced out of our city. The need for the anti speculation tax is even more obvious today. I urge you to see those parallels between today and the late 1970s and honor the legacy of harvey milk bypassing this piece of legislation. Today we begin to finish the work that harvey milk started. The Clear Community in our community is afraid. Around the world are leave anything droves because they cannot afford to stay. And as youll hear from the Many Community members who will follow me, the lgtb community is not alone. The harvey milk help San Francisco remain affordable for those of us here to appreciate it and it will make it accessible to those who want to move here and enjoy our riches. It will bring sanity back to our city and eliminate the overwhelming anxiety fell by so many people here. I urge you to support this measure thats been 40 year

In just the last two years we did some research with the Mayors Office and we found that in 2012 the average price of a multiunit Apartment Building between five and 30 units, the average per unit price is between 200 and 2,000. That price has gone up to 323 per unit. Thats a 60 increase. I have a document here with a two unit apartment that was put on the market in february. That kind of price escalation is driving instability in communities and we need this tax to slow that market down and bring some sanity back to San Francisco. Thank you. Hello, my
