Private property that the city if they want to buy the building that is one thing. But you are taking a private person who invested their time money to bring everything up to code and provide a nice place, and you are frying trying to make it do something else. If you want to be a landlord situation, its a big difference because as soon as they hit 32 days its rent controlled and its like being every other apartment in San Francisco. You have this amount of rent, its a 1906 building. So that means whatever they get in on, immediately they are permanent residents.
