Supervisors, this is david wu again. I live in district 5 and work in district 6. I fully support this resolution and want to thank supervisor mar and all the supporting supervisors for putting this forward woe must focus on actual unmet needs when it comes to the promise. We cannot continue overbuilding over housing and gentrification that results from trickle down housing has to be addressed. I support this resolution and urge the full board to pass it. Thank you. Good afternoon. Im calling on behalf of the San FranciscoAction Coalition owe posing the resolution because it will exacerbate the Housing Affordability crisis. While the resolution takes aim at marketrate housing it would stop the city from approving subsidized Affordable Homes and limit the increase of the citys requirement for above moderate marketrate housing targets. Should the citys rate be artificially low mixedincome housing will lessen the number of Affordable Homes for low and middleincome san franciscans and by punting our housing responsibilities housing cost wills continue to skyrocket and the workers who keep the city functioning will have no choice but to commute for hours to San Francisco to work. In San Francisco marketrate housing pays through the inclusionary laws. For example, these units have accounted for over 1700 new Affordable Homes between 2015 and 2019. Thats roughly 35 of the total Affordable Housing created. Additionally its provided over 350 million to be used on 100 affordable projects. Over 22,006 housing. Market rate units create and fund affordable ones yet this resolution demonizes these lies and we oppose the resolution. Thank you. Next caller, please. Hello. We are dealing with displacement. We are dealing with communities of color that are being displaced from cities like San Francisco and oakland and i approve of this legislation. I read through the entire new and improved legislation. Im happy that my supervisor mandelman from district 8 contributed to the language and i encourage all supervisors to support this measure. Thank you. Thank you. Next caller, please. My name is gary in district 2 with the San Francisco land use coalition. Im calling in support of supervisor mars resolution the number of entitles are half as many as 2018. If the board of supervisors approves overly aggressive goals this would increase the current level of housing speculation in San Francisco which is unacceptable. It would not increase the housing units. Thank you and thank you supervisor mar for your resolution. Thank you. Is there a caller . This is cath ran katherine howard. I support this resolution. Im get muted and unmuted. I hope this gets through. I support this resolution and i appreciate supervisor mar and the cosponsors for introducing this. Along with residents from all over San Francisco we submitted a letter to this committee and put peoples full names and district number on it. Since we resubmitted it you get the idea. One of the goals the letter was to save the committees time so ill end my comment by reaffirming our support for this resolution. Thank you. Connect us to the next caller, please. Im speaking for the Neighborhood Council board of directors. Every hundred units of new housing every market rate housing means Affordable Housing cant be used on the site and think of supplementals on housing legislation and implement. Thank you. Next caller, please. Im a member of the members disability action and long time renter from district 5. I sent a letter and spoke out in favor of supervisor mars resolution earlier for the previous hearing. I just wanted to report back that upon reading the amendments i believe they have my support and to me theyve strengthened the reasons why they should recognize Affordable Housing and should act accordingly if the choice between affordable and market rate housing with an emphasis. Our homeless and seniors and people with disabilities and lowincome families and people of color [indiscernible] in real time. Help us now in real time by passing this resolution. Thank you. Thank you. Next caller, please. Good afternoon, supervisors. Im with the Mission Economic agency and calling in strong support of the resolution before you. Were currently only meeting 20 of our low and moderate housing goals and think its important theres an antidisplacement lens when handled in certain ways it can contribute to displacement of lowincome residents and theres history of market rate housing in overbuilt, lowincome areas in the city. Recent study of university of minnesota identified rent pressures can be put on those who are paying the lowest rents in an area near new market rate housing. What kind of housing you build and for whom and where matters a lot not just quant. On the quantity front we think there should be no increase insensitive communities as mapped by the urban displacement project. For these and other reasons we think its very important that we head in this direction and again were in very strong support of this resolution and thank you for bringing it forward, supervisor mar. Is there a caller on the line . A reminder to all the callers in the queue continue to listen until you hear a system prompt that says your line is unmuted and that means you are live and were ready to hear your comments. I just got notification. Im with San Francisco land use coalition. Good afternoon, supervisors. Thank you chair mar for introducing this resolution. This is what we need at this juncture in time. For those who think we sudden look at how many market rate homes we have for sale. How about over 2,000. And more interesting we have over 1600 of them sitting over 90 days. This market at this point in time we do not need more market rate housing or need to have an increase for market rate housing because its not something that is going to happen. We dont have a situation thats meetable. The idea of a quota and goal is to have something to strive for when the country is going through horrendous economic downturn with people with jobs that wont come back. This is not the time to increase the quota for market rate housing. Its the time to think about how to take care of these people. Homelessness will increase by 30 million to 40 Million People cannot pay rent. What will happen to them . This is not the time to think about more market rate housing and trickle down housing that will come to the rescue. No. You, supervisors know this the best. I urge you to support it. This is what we need at this time. Someone to look at the numbers. Thank you. Next callers comment, please. Im with senior an disability action. Im calling in deep great support for this measure. Thank you very much for the amendment to truly focus on the needs of our city is what we need to do right now. I live in district 3 where i have seen so many seniors, people with disabilities, service workers, caregivers, safeway clerks and people of color and bus drivers being displaced and not being able to find Affordable Housing because weve not been building enough Affordable Housing to meet the real incomes of our essential workers of the people that we need every day in the city. So i urge you to support this all supervisors and lets pass this and lets get started on building what we need to build for our city. Thank you. Thank you. Next caller, please. Good afternoon. Cory smith on behalf of the housing Action Coalition. The numbers were artificially low and the methodology used to calculate is why the state legislate passed s. B. 828 to have a more adequate calculation for housing numbers Going Forward. The idea San Francisco hit the previous numbers and viewing from the success is given the number of cities, 40 across california hit to the targets. Orange county had 82,000 and many consider Orange County a place where more housing makes sense. And we want to point out more market rate housing does mean more Affordable Housing and we will be able to build fewer affordable units throughout the next cycle. While many people like to coin market rate housing as part of the problem and continually state this is not the solution, were not hearing any counter proposals as to how we can dig out of this mess at a big picture level. There are homes available to purchase that i and others have zero chance to be able to accomplish that piece because of the price and because of the lack of quant the city and region has built in the last 40 years. We can we get the next callers comments, please. Good afternoon. Im in support of this legislation. I concur we need all types of housing however, what we really need is housing thats affordable and lowincome for the most vulnerable residents in the city. Its failed to meet number for lowincome housing and i was pick up a report where theres a u. C. Berkeley report that the best thing to address Affordable Housing is to build Affordable Housing directly and lets focus on the housing most needed very low income. Thank you for your comments. Next caller, please. Im with the council of Community Housing organization. Fully in support of this legislation. I think this is the time when all of us should be looking at racial segregation and how segregation patterns are working themselves out throughout the region. The causes of that and the causes are displacement in the inner cities and lack of Affordable Housing in our highopportunity cities for people. This legislation directs our representatives to argue for exactly that. Move the housing where it should be in highopportunity areas near those jobs and to support Affordable Housing where we need it the most where communities are struggling against displacement if were going do our work for Racial Equity it means thinking about housing and land as a place where a lot of these things play out. Thank you supervisors for this piece of legislation. I think it is the beginning of thinking about much larger pictures at the regional and state level about how we plan to create a truly equitable region. Thank you. Thank you, fernando. Next caller, please. Im showing support in this resolution. I agree with the speakers we need to focus on low and moderate income. The crisis were in will take years to recover. And [indiscernible] i want to highlight more than of were going to need to focus on housing and actually most of the market are going to people out of work right now. Thank you for your comments. Next caller, please. Im a San Francisco resident. I oppose this legislation because the focus on the pipeline doesnt make sense because it looks like the website is still not doing its part. Are you still there . Yes. Prioritizing increases to the regions above market allocation and high resource and high opportunity jurisdictions does not appear to affirmatively further fair housing so my concern is that its still a bad resolution and im concerned it may be an effort to keep shelters out of high opportunity areas. I think every part of San Francisco needs to do its part to construct shelters and transitional housing and lowincome housing. I oppose this legislation. I oppose this measure for a few reasons. First, is that this has taken years to build. Some is on tox is sites like Treasure Island and we need to look at high resource neighborhoods on the side where theres good transit and access to jobs and low housing due to the fact its still low density and by building housing there it would help find Affordable Housing throughout the city in helping serve people at all levels of the income spectrum. Finally, im a little disappointed the board of supervisors is wasting everybodys time with this. This is eventually avacs decision not the board of supervisors decision and the opposite of signalling. Its just the board of supervisors complaining about something they cant control. Just to indicate theyre opposed to more housing and if you really cared about fair housing upzoning the west side and quit wasting everybodys time with these measures that wont do anything. Next callers comments, please. This is laura foot from indie action. Theres a lot in here i want to say i understand and appreciate and i think we understand people rin crisis and what do we do about that . I want the government to focus on getting more Affordable Housing built. Thats a great use of your time. Unfortunately this doesnt do that. We spend a lot of time saying were going to work and stall and stop and slow down market rate housing as if that does anything to help Affordable Housing. It doesnt. We need more market rate housing. I want you guys to focus on doing more to get more Affordable Housing built faster in San Francisco and across the bay area and across america we need more Affordable Housing. If you continue to focus on saying someone else should be building market rate housing you are in fact not doing Affordable Housing any good. Youre fork forcing us to have the argument it doesnt seem reason to say San Francisco is not a high opportunity area and a live here and more people should get to live here and think we can handle more neighbors and the more we say its somebody elses problem and everybody is jumping all over themselves to say its somebody elses false and next towns over were not that bad. No, its all of us. The bay area has chronically under built housing for a generation and we need to get out of the way of market rate housing and do everything we can to help affordable subsidized housing. I wish we were focussing on Affordable Housing but thats not what this risk resolution will do and hope to get more Affordable Housing built in the city. Thank you. Thank you, next caller, please. Good afternoon, supervisors. Im a renter in district 5 and speaking on behalf of the membership and were strongly opposed to this resolution. As some previous callers pointed out its the worse of San Francisco politics and where people are fed up. You have a group of supervisors who say theyre progressive and doing everything they can to make sure the wealthy parts dont have to build market buildings. The satate law is clear through te housing accountability act we need to build Apartment Buildings on the west side. Thats going happen through state law. If you cant get out of the way well do it through state law and you have to allow building on the west side. Its disingenuous and acting like passing a resolution trying to block new apartments on the west side does anything to help affo affordability. We know youre trying to protect your constituents who think an Apartment Building near them will ruin their quality of life. Apartments dont ruin quality of life they improve it and i live in one and its fantastic. Finally, regarding the numbers, theres over 400,000 units of units and if San Francisco somehow succeeds in getting that push out it will go to another area. Think of where the fires are and smoke is and jobs are and equity and racist history of our zoning and where should we be up zoning it should be the west side, where theres clean air, access to jobs and transit. If you say all the market rate housing has to go to the east bay youre condemning a generation to living near fires. Next caller, please. I would like to agree with the other caller but i dont understand the point of this. Why is the board of resolution wasting time encouraging avac to do anything because theyll do what theyre going do. Why is the board of supervisors writing a resolution . It is going to influence avac one way or north . I dont have an opinion on what housing policy should be. I dont see how this resolution is going to help anyone one way or another. I agree with other callers we should focus on San Francisco housing policy not what we can do to get other counties to change their policy. I understand theres a regional aspect to housing but i dont see how this is going to change anything. Thank you. Im a resident of San Francisco since 1976. Im calling to strongly support supervisor mars resolution and to focus on the Affordabl
