that we considered is also where we can do core drilling. you know, the building is built on hundreds and hundreds of pilings so there's a limitation of where some of the core drillings can occur but with your comments i think we can go back and look, i think moving 4 over to 3 is a strong possibility. i think we just look at -- i absolutely understand your concerns about how it doesn't really match some of the symmetry that's so apparent in the ferry building, especially without the south side not having this happen, you know, simultaneously. >> thank you. my comment before we -- are you done? before we move on, my only comment, if we're going for symmetry to me it would be taking 5 and moving it all the way over to 3. however, as a restaurantur i love the extra large seating area toward the middle and activating the promenade because i know when you go by there you see people going in and out except on farmer's market day and the whole middle area feels dead. i actually, even though it may feel a little off because it's so tucked back in there i'm actually happy with the way it is. >> i think we're saying the same, president hasz. i'm suggesting that 4 slides over so 3 and 4 are on center with column line 8, just like 2 and 3 are on line with column line 6. >> understood. great. and we have a motion, we don't have a second. >> second. >> thank you. >> commissioners, then on the motion to adopt a motion recommending approval with recommendations from staff as well as relocating kiosk 4 to be adjacent to or with kiosk 3, on that motion, commissioner hyland, yes. commissioner johnck, yes. commissioner johns, yes. commissioner matsuda, yes. commissioner pearlman, yes. and president hasz, yes. that motion passes 6-0. >> seeing no further projects we will adjourn this meeting.

(clapping.) well, today, we have an important piece of legislation to be signed let me begin at the outset this is a movement going on in the city called the sharing economy something that not only have we been watching with the roll of technology and the abilities to connect people you up to an time information and resources and the ability to connect with more and more people but taking place in our city and cities across the country is a movement called the shared economy that is based on a simple understanding that in order to be successful if america you don't have to own everything as i gripe as a child of 6 kids in the city of seattle i had to share i learned quickly i couldn't own sometimes even my own pair of socks that we had to share in order to survive and succeed we had to build a family economy around understanding he each other's needs and trying to help that out and, of course, share a lot of information well technology has brought about a huge revolution in the ability to understand what we're doing in the economy and with the interpretation interests in people in the city to say that we can also succeed in this is economy we're already doing it we have all kinds of riding sharing applications you don't have to own what i say a second and third car in the city that can go around and get the tasks define we've got zip car and others and companies that are even having scooters being able to share electrical obscurities all around the city not having to depend on a mode or owner their own car and great transportation city and county system we invest serious monies in and prop a i have to get it in there we've got to pass we have task sharing and now a the ability for people to do space sharing i have behind me a great group of thrifty's of people that want to find ways to invite more people to the economy by is sharing information and space they have may this is the first effort in the history of this space sharing movement we've been able to regulate so i want to thank president chiu and all the supervisors supervisor scott wiener here and supervisor tang and i know we'll be joined by supervisor malia cohen and others to bring a strong majority to pass this legislation and in an attempt to regulate an industry and to make sure that going forward we collect all revenue for the city as well when we invite people to be part of the economy i think the city wins as well so a win-win win for everyone i want to thank all the speakers today and the representatives from the companies and the employees people living and working here that are finding ways to make it successful for themselves this is i think a great story coit of our city we have an economy that shares the ability to have space, rides, tasks, more and more and i'll tell you often the larger companies are doing the same thing if you look at the what's happening in the bio science wourld you'll understand they've been sharing their laboratories and big pharmaceutical companies find the ability to have their laboratories shared in order to bring the pharmaceutical products out this is another industry that is happening virtually in all industries so i join this group in celebrating this occasion we're regulating and suvenl get more revenue that will support the services that the board of supervisors and i know will be coming at us tvn let me from the author and sponsor our board president david chiu (clapping.) >> thank you, mr. mayor after two years of credibly hard work and countless meetings and testimony and a lot of discussion in the city

we've not had a solution everyone knows we need an approach the heart of our approach is addressing the affordable housing how can we all afford to live in our city without changes in local law short-term rentals has made housing be fooblthd more difficult and easy at the same time, we need city policies that reflect that on the other hand, current practices have pushed many san franciscans out of our city whether or not you're a landlord ellis acting a whole building or a tenant that entered into multiple leases and engaged in bona fide we'll have a regulatory and enforcement structure that says no to you if you're using airbnb or others to allow housing to be used around the clock as vacation rentals you'll face penalties for multiple offenses on the other hand, we've heard from thousands of home sharers who have been struggling san franciscans to struggle to live in our great city seniors and workers from all ero e over san francisco if you're a permanent resident that lives
