Part of the problem, butu but you have a very short run off at traffic eastbound and you have high speed traffic coming out of the tunnel. I would like to see more work from cal trans and one last thing they are missing the water crash barriers. They are not in there and do you a sharp turn to get into Treasure Island and it is a cement wall and that is supposed to have barrels of sand to prevent someone from having a fatality. Its a very sharp almost 90degree turn to get in there. Thank you very much. Supervisor jane kim great. Thank you very much for that feedback. Is there any additional Public Comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Mr. Clerk, can we please call the next item. City clerk item 6. Update on use of parking control officers to support vision zero. This is an information item. I know this is a short presentation and actually im very interested in it, but it will soon before a briefing of one. So im going to suggest is that we actually take a motion to continue this item to the next committee meeting. Im really sorry. This is a program thats really important to me and i know commissioner wiener as well. But we are not going to have the quorum to be able to hear it. It will still be timely at our next subcommittee meeting and maybe we can also talk about the muni transit only lane. Im very curious about that program. Im going to take a motion to continue this item. Well do that without objection. Thank you, commissioner yee. We will take Public Comment on this item at this time. This is the last item. If you would like to come and speak. Public speaker i will sum it up. One of the probls with the double parking has been the over sidecar lifts. The cabs are good, the taxi cabs one of the problems is going down all the corridors. I found that all of a sudden somebody stops suddenly in front of me and pulls over and you can tell because there is two or three iphones that some of these characters carry. I would like to have a mark of all views of any uber. Its not general Public Comment. I thought you had general Public Comment. This is the last opportunity to make Public Comment but it has to be a general item. This is in target with that. Its a serious problem with those particular operators with double parking. Weve always had the trucks with the fedex and ups problem. Especially ban on california where you have the cable car corridor and it makes it even more hazardous for people climbing in and out of the cable car. The other thing i just wanted in closing to say is that if we had as far as jaywalking and enforcement in all of those areas if we can get crosswalks in front of the performing centers, i do want to compliment the zero committee on their work and i have seen great progress in the last 2 years. I really do appreciate it in spite of my comments. But i always try to have a solution to a criticism of something because im here really to improve things as usual. One last thing as an enforcement issue with ada i know the government share riding and they have taking away the disabled spots close to the japanese market and things like that. Its been very tough on people with disabilities. Supervisor jane kim thank you. Thank you for commenting on each of our items and also for the construction feedback. Is there any additional Public Comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Mr. Clerk, can we please call the next item . City clerk item 7. Introduction of new items. Information item. Supervisor jane kim there are no introduction of new items at this time. So, can we please call the next item, please. City clerk item 8. Public comment. Supervisor jane kim at this time it is general Public Comment but i have lost a quorum. Since we are here for the sake of the public process, we will hear general Public Comment. If anyone wants to make general Public Comment at this time, please come up. Public speaker under Public Comment i will interrupt to saying in the area, i am really concerned as i have worked in the japantown area a lot and there is a lot of activity. We need wide crosswalks around the japantown area. There is a lot of interaction in that area. There is a lot of seniors left in that area and there is congestion issues there in the garage its decimated that area because its at least 1 to park. Its a very active area and im very concerned in the performing art centers here for all the seniors, as you look at the audience its the ballet and the other things that is 75 senior audience and they are still crossing the streets with lights changing with big crowds. Not only that, its kind of dark in front of the Symphony Hall and to the left side and right side especially down the city hall area. I would like to see that taken care of. The red zones, with the restructurin of the streets, i noticed a lot of red zones are now at the current sections which used to be disabled parking and those have disappeared and i have not seen those replaced one for one in this area. Those are easier for the disabled person to get that in and out easily. I realize its for Fire Department to get in and out. Some of the meters need to be checked if they can move them or make an compact spot. Thank you very much. Supervisor jane kim great. Thank you. Is there any additional Public Comment .

S weve addressed 5 hundred plus in 2004 and 2014 rental units were moved from protected status to a variety of no fault allowed by state law the data shows our anti eviction work is every bit as important to support the construction of new Affordable Housing<\/a> according to the annual report the 5 reasons of evicts are one breach of lease two nuisance and owner move and eviction and ellis act and 5 illegal use whether the increased focus on the advocacy of our attendants groups and leader and Community Resident<\/a> on ellis act eviction the other leading cause of breach and nuisance are increasing while the owner evicts have been on the incline weve been overburdened with the evicts of immigrants our legislation does a number of things we put but stories and thank you to the tenant what theyve perp been going through with the evicts and, of course, the fear and anxiety that comes along with it but many of us are experiencing which is a loss of diversity in our neighborhood of people that work in different folds and occupations and encompass what a healthy city like San Francisco<\/a> that legislation did this 5 i believe so i things one evicts nos are in multiply languages in chinese and chg and russian and stopping the evictions because of learned must provide prove the allegations and a reasonable time for repainting this bedroom wall or remove the laundry out of the windows or taking the bicycle out of the common hallway and housing not authorize for residential occupancy such dwelling units that are such as commercial unit spaces that were converted to legal units shouldnt be the whole reason for eviction we saw that last year with the tenants on Market Street<\/a> who are also here today and finally this codifies the availability control allowable under state law into the rent ordinance this codifies the state law requires a attendants to temporarily relocate or the remediation work for the tenants are next tenant can move in at the rent of the departing tenant taken together this provides protection for the tenants and reduces the ability of owners to raise rent in certain case those power amendment will impact our vulnerable tenants and reduce the incentives to bring forgot cases to rerent for hire rents i know there is a discussion on some amendments today from my colleagues supervisor cohen and supervisor wiener on clarifying some of the launders around the amendments well put forward i have no further comments and open for discussion and. Thank you, supervisor kim and also want to acknowledge many of the Community Members<\/a> are here today thank you for bringing this item before us for us to consider i wanted to thank the individuals that reached out to my office last month to their their stories last hearing hearing he raised the let me residency occupies from the tenants are living in illegal units ive seen shortterm rentals that are dashboard into 8 different units with the floor in unsafe condition and after the last hearing thank you for the opportunity i spoke to the City Attorneys Office<\/a> will clarifying language so colleagues before we go into Public Comment<\/a> id like to propose an amendment the clerk calculated to you i think youve had the opportunity to amend the language it adds a language to clarify nothing legislation prohibited a landlords ability to recovery positions under the 37 a8 and 10 those are sections which provide for the elimination of uninhabitable illegal units and insures that tenants get a a Relocation Assistance<\/a> this is necessary in order for us to prevent future confusion with seriously unsafe illegal units are discovered thank you very much i will leave that open and well go to how supervisor wiener next thank you very much madam chair and thank you to supervisor kim for bringing this forward when supervisor kim first announced that she was drafting this legislation i remember thinking that this is something that was long overdue for discussion because there are i think a relative small group of owners that have been barrier in an abusive way i think i mentioned the one egresses situation in any district and other district by a woman named monique that was engaging in 23r5u7b89d behavior to try to intimidate tenants weve heard the example of the very minor leased violations leaving a blanket in the hallway or leaving launder where it is not supposed to hang and so on and so forth and none wants a tenants to be evicted for any reason violations the got you violations anything we can do to prevent that from happening is a good thing in this housing crisis we dont want those kinds of evictions and at the same time, we want to make sure that for more serious violations that landlord can manage their buildings i expressed the way that the language was drafted around nuisance violations and similar violations damaging the unit, interfere with the comfort and safety and enjoyment of the landlord or other tenants i thought that language was drafted in. Way to make that almost possible for a Leonardo Da Vinci<\/a> to take action when a tenant is committing a serious serious and perhaps nuisance that those types of violations from the landlord is not knowledge in the building many other tenants are impacted i indicated alternative language i have been in the interim middle east e meeting with board of directors im meeting with the tenant advocates and met with the Department Association<\/a> and the Office Spaces<\/a> and have alternative language i want to read i think gets to the heart of what were trying to get at so what it will do is right now on page 10 line 5 where the proposed amendment states when a landlord connecticut commence to get possession well strike that auto r out and keep the counter language and add the following quote the activities are serious continuing or reoccurring in nature what that does inactivated making that impossible to ever vooefshlg evict on nuisance no matter how severe the nuisance has to be severe or continuing in nature or reoccurring in nature not just the one time thing not a anywhere violation but something that is much more significant and so this is an amendment ill offer avenue Public Comment<\/a> and thank the tenant groups and landlord groups to make sure that language gets at what we wanted it to get at two other amendments ill be offering up to Public Comment<\/a> excuse me. One has nothing to do with for this legislation effectively removes on owners ability to limit the number of sub tenants in that unit and essentially gives as i read it the tenants ability to bring as many sub tenants in as are permitted by the housing code the landlord have no ability to restrict that and override future lisa i think this gospel too far we have an exception already in the code thats been there for quite some time to bring in family members above with the lease requires i think that opposing that up for no ability to honor a lease of sub renting is too far ive heard talk about in addition to family members some people require a caretaker and needs a car taxi i take it sensitive it that so the amendment that i am offering will remove the language on page 8 line 14 to package 9 and on page 7 the photograph on line 20 after the exemption for allowing people to bring in family members will add an additional exception to read as follows to a caregiver the folks meet the definition of the under state law thats a Second Amendment<\/a> and finally, the availability control i agree that we need to address the situations where particularly effectively fraudulent owner move in evictions but it provides when a have a Capital Improvement<\/a> eviction that of the unit is rebutted how 20 or 25 years later no matter how much time passed the existing rent applies if someone moves into the unit after 20 years and rents the unit out they have to apply the rent from 20 years ago under the ellis act you can rent it auto at market after 5 years this actually makes the ellis act a short the period not a bad incentive for the ellis act you have to ellis the entire building the amendment ill proposing on page line package 5 line 10 it is the paragraph will state where a landlord has terminated the tenancy and substitution 1, 2, 3 or the next 5 years from termination the base represent will have to stay the same if i rent it out within 5 years then the base rent stays the same this aligns it to not more does go beyond the ellis act that creates an incentive to do ellis act evictions he have the language and those are the 3 amendments ill bring up after Public Comment<\/a> so thank you. All right. Thank you very much supervisor kim why not go to Public Comment<\/a>. I have a stack of cards here. Thank you chair cowen he realizes not everybody or ever be has put in a card ill call the first 10 names im sorry theres a huge stack of cards ill call the first stack please line up on that side of the wall calling names roy, karen, david, Kenneth Richards<\/a> and mindy. I realize are 2 minutes is not a long time for Public Comment<\/a> on an important issue if you feel your comments were reflected say ditto and add into a different prospective. All right. Well try to be brief i personally have been for quite a few times years from 1950 been a Malcolm Heinicke<\/a> member and residents in San Francisco<\/a> therefore ive only known of the old style of honesty and respect first question i face of the supervisors how many have ownership ever rental property how their stepping iuoe on my toes im fed up with having to look at it as something that i have Eminent Domain<\/a> and no available use of it jet i have 6 children that are all asking me what can be done thank you for that kind of assistance id appreciate it. Good afternoon, supervisors my name is peter wright with Property Owner<\/a>s ill not speak to the eliminates of the 6 points of legislation and im thankful for the amendment that have been offered it seems is sterilization i want to leave you with people being e elected from their apartments this is because owners dont want to rent out with the legislation that exists i think it San Francisco<\/a> has enough tenants protection we should enter a moratorium perhaps not declared but defactor and started working with Property Owner<\/a>s to see how to get back some of the unit taken off the market by choice the no on f people are or the yes on f people are saying that 10 thousand units are being used exclusively for shortterm rentals i cant prove that a lot of people are doing shortterm rentals is it so not legal but doing that avoiding to rent to long term tenants you should work with the private sector and we can sort this out and get many, many units back on the market thank you. Good afternoon my name is bob San Francisco<\/a> that is all performance carry a burden the rent received is lessons or less than the operating cost of the building forcing landlords into a negative cash flow position is no longer enough now supervisor kim and her fellow comrades are going to attack small Property Owner<\/a>s if this passes the city forces small Property Owner<\/a>s to carry the burden forever with no hope of raising rent to cover the operating costs the building the Leonardo Da Vinci<\/a> victims of the supervisor kim legislation will continue to peppering subsidies their tenants comfortable lifetime in San Francisco<\/a> by paying the lawyers lions share and causing many of the buildings to fall into disrain water or c walk away from the building and default causing a mortgage country or sell theyre building hoping someone will want to buy a this and who wants to buy a prompt why is this the city i did yes. The city is buying such building for pennies on the dollars to make up for the small guy that invested in small real estate and small pertains maybe easy to target to attack but theyre not the enemy not having the courage to invest in San Francisco<\/a> the kim legislation is a bad, bad idea it flies from the face of economics and it is urban american thank you sir, im sorry our time is up thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Any im lee district 8 quite often the small Property Owner<\/a>s pay the bmr rents versus the operating costs but there are amendments preservation Large Developers<\/a> avoid the bmr by pagan a one time fee to the city great for the developer but bad for the city by removing the requirements the developers will be their, their fair share of the bmr burden on the each time to spread the bmr units to all residents of San Francisco<\/a> by legislative you didnt go a state of the art within the city limits that subdivides those tenants that pay below market rate thus between the building rates and that small pertains are footing the bill the city recently gave 8 hundred thousands to the tenderloin clinic to fight a state law that allows the landlord to recovery a unit the city could have been used to to provide Affordable Housing<\/a> instead of letting the t hr from extorting money there are many ways to help to provide Affordable Housing<\/a> rather than keeping a burden on the backs of small Property Owner<\/a>s the city and its representatives need to side their job for providing Affordable Housing<\/a> without skwaikdz small building owners to make a fair living and one question school on our proposal for the last part of the legislation is that all tenants for the 5 years or after the eviction. Hello at this time this is Public Comment<\/a> well have an opportunity to discuss with the committee afterward. Next speaker. And good afternoon. Supervisors im president of the small Property Owner<\/a>s of San Francisco<\/a> our members are small mom and pop eye my own story is similar my husband and i bought our building in a run down building and most of the surrounding shows you were boarded up over the years through hard work were able to buy a 2 four unit building in are still run down neighborhood and fixed those up and rented them we continued this this is subject to ever more restrictive laws of what we could or couldnt do they were for these us to let relatives move p in with no additional rent i do said my building is almost empty so i sold it and the tenants of 19 years moved from the flat blow we knew wed have to go downstairs well not been able to climb the stairs but our daughter and soninlaw moved in on the street next to us 10 units sat vacate and a rental unit in a twobedroom suite become owners unit this is on one street within a block of me at least 19 units empty the type of vacancies controls is a foot in the door for the kind of rental laws that cause large amounts of landlord to walk away lets not fool around with this and go to sensible legislation clapping. thank you for the applause youve remind me i forgot to remind you a rule in the chamber for no applause so you hear something wave our fingers if you here something you dont like thumbs down. First of all, thank you to supervisor wiener theyre in the process of amending the amendments to the amendment sir we want to hear our remarks speak into the mike. I believe that the measure that the prototype measure may increase the Premiums Associated<\/a> with the this return of Capital Assets<\/a> in reality i didnt so the measure may cause higher costs associated with properties and grow increases in kwordz or future rent collected if any with the expectation of inhabitable units that ms. Cowen mentioned i believe mixed with rex and preventatives have contributed to the housing supply and that legislative measures my prevented to put on housing and roofing over our heads but the contractors measures that actually do the primary beneficiary of a shortage of housing supply has been the city treasurer so the few Units Available<\/a> the higher tax revenues is the actuation. Thank you. Next speaker. High im sue i cant believe im the first tenant to speak im thirty days into a 60 day eviction notation notice in a home im a Senior Living<\/a> on a fixed income as long as the small Property Owner<\/a>s are here let me tell you i moved in on 1979 the day after rent control he was a teacher at the sacred heart bought the building for 30,000 in 1979 get a low interest to bring it up it up to code in the 3 seven years with rent control i am paying for that building at least a dos dozen time over in the meantime the other two units are turned over if their original rents of 289 hes paying 14 hundred upstairs and the think illegal unit ones theyre paying 600 any one the units could pay for that that building dozens of times over my landlord died a rich man not have of that building you have to be a rotten businessman to lose money with rent control in San Francisco<\/a>.

All right. This is going to be a long hearing. Please. Im only number ten. Please no applause. Next speaker. Im midnight i didnt a realtor our and property manager and own a small Property Owner<\/a> i present very much skoolts attempts to clarify some of this this is a lot of verbiage in those amendments and in the ordinance itself which are unclear to the oriented e older owner what is a a reoccurring nuisance a substantial breach those require people to go towards professional management or more lawyers so it makes it very, very difficult to manage one property it is the small owners that have relationships with the tenants that do things that dont raise rents and do things like give consumptions there are probable some bad apples in the lymph gland as you said scott doing thing against the what are you and laws on the books to stop those practices by making things more and more complicated and defended youll find that it didnt increase the relationship between the landlords and tenants but diminishes that and many of my clients are seriously considering taking their units off the market it is two difficult to navigate if you cant afford the lawyers to help you thank you. Thank you. Im sorry latonya a could be active i hear poor poor me what about the tenants that are on the street and getting kicked out ive seen so many people poor me and poor me landlords saying poor me look at the people around you poor me.

Thanks ms. Cooper. Hi, im john im here today to summarize a letter from the several excuse me. From several members the San Francisco<\/a> Bay Area Renters Federation<\/a> we dont have a policy many of us did sign the letter we would like to is that just cause makes several changes to the renters law it reducing reduces to stop the sharp practices the longtime solution to build more housing but we feel just cause 2. 0 doesnt interfere but has a displacement strategy for the housing to an affordable level with more protections our city cant afford to put the generations against each other this is an abundant and favorable supply.
