Make airbnb responsible but were going to make you as individual hosts responsible if you look at the Hotel Industry that would be like local government saying the individual hoot has no rocket in terms of the hotel tax it is the individual who stays at the owe ho hotel that has that responsibility how r remarkable is that that you walk away from placing responsibility on the corporate players that not only have the resources to actually carry out this responsibility but corporate players that are making a lot of money youre talking about turning your back on the hosting community to protect a 23 billion corporation and saying you individual hosts have to do what airbnb until this point has refused to do that is remarkable it is truly remarkable and it is truly a sign of the times if this passes today we have done not only the incredible job of making the mayors legislation worse but we have actually taken the unprecedented step of going beyond what the true did colleagues, i is this a
That nothing preincludes a platform from reporting from home sharers this is made between the platform and the home sharers they can do that frankly is a a great Business Model weve got something platforms can with distinguish their platforms but i think as people who that might have more legal experience than i do will know that the problem is we do have any platforms in the city and to the point that supervisor farrell made earlier theres a chance many more to come and dont priority operates on the same Business Model they dont collect fund and not directly involved in the registration or the number of days they cant report that information and we, in fact have legal persistent that mrofrmz that act on this as a connect our as people in commercial transactions dont have responsibility so passing a law based on a single Business Model focuses on perhaps a current large player that may or may not exist selfsolve the problem and my genuine interest so come up with a solution that applie

Supervisor christensen.
