But then, last week, he asked the Planning Commission to postpone consideration of his legislation [to set local regulations for Airbnb], and thought, 'Well, perhaps there is still an opportunity to work something out legislatively.' ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carlson said he will work with the Board of Supervisors and Mayor Ed Lee's office over the next several months to craft regulations for Airbnb. If an agreement can’t be worked out, Carlson says he will resubmit signatures by this November to get the measure on the November 2015 ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The measure was intended to provide a degree of regulation over short-term rentals of residences to tourists, and we’ve got somewhere between 10,000 and 15,000 condos, apartments and homes that are being offered on more than 60 websites to tourists,” Carlson said. “They’re all offered illegally, and the city is not collecting hotel taxes on them, and it’s hurting the affordability crisis in the city.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carlson told KQED that, beyond creating a registry for people who want to offer short-term rentals, there are major differences between what rules he'd like to see the city adopt and Chiu's proposal:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>David wants to rezone the entire city so that short-term rentals are legal in every residential neighborhood across town. We don’t want to do that. David wants his registry to be essentially private. You could request to see it, but when the city showed it to you the names of the people offering short-term rentals to tourists would be redacted. Our proposal is that should all be public. Building permits are public, business licenses are public. There’s no reason to keep these names hidden. We require permission from landlords before tenants sublet their units to tourists. David didn’t want to do that either.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The ballot measure was also backed by housing activist Calvin Welch and former planning commissioner Doug Engmann, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. \u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/techchron/2014/07/07/backers-withdraw-anti-airbnb-sf-ballot-initiative/#24876101=0\" target=\"_blank\">More on the proposed ballot measure from the Chronicle\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The ballot proposal would have required San Francisco hosts to comply with current — largely ignored — laws that require people offering short-term rentals to apply for a bed and breakfast license, an expensive and cumbersome process. People in areas zoned for single-family residential use — like much of the city west of Van Ness Avenue — could not even apply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The ballot initiative contains many land mines that make home sharing not just difficult but virtually impossible,” said Peter Kwan, a retired educator who founded Home Sharers of San Francisco, a 1,000-member organization for Airbnb hosts. “A vast majority of people who are currently doing home sharing would have to stop, because they’d either be banned or, if not, to go through those hoops would be too burdensome.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kwan said he was relieved that the proposal is not moving forward.\u003cbr>\nUnder the proposal, tenants renting via Airbnb would have had to show written permission from their landlords. Many property owners dislike having tenants rent via Airbnb because of concerns about security, and wear and tear. Landlords increasingly have issued eviction notices to tenants renting on Airbnb, either because they are violating lease prohibitions against subletting, or on the grounds that they are committing illegal acts by flouting the city’s ban on short-term rentals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The initiative would have prohibited short-term rentals in in-law apartments, affordable housing units, apartments that were subject to an Ellis Act eviction, and units that received affordable housing funds from city, state or federal agencies. Theoretically, that latter provision could bar homeowners with Federal Housing Administration (FHA) mortgages — a common loan for lower-income people — from offering short-term rentals, for instance.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>“The city has known that short-term rentals to tourists is a problem, and the problem is getting worse, and the city has known this for well more than two years,\" Carlson said. \"And there’s been very ineffective enforcement of the laws that are on the books right now. So we are interested in seeing the city rein in this activity because it is hurting the affordability of the city.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

People in areas zoned for single-family residential use — like much of the city west of Van Ness Avenue — could not even apply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The ballot initiative contains many land mines that make home sharing not just difficult but virtually impossible,” said Peter Kwan, a retired educator who founded Home Sharers of San Francisco, a 1,000-member organization for Airbnb hosts. “A vast majority of people who are currently doing home sharing would have to stop, because they’d either be banned or, if not, to go through those hoops would be too burdensome.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kwan said he was relieved that the proposal is not moving forward.\u003cbr>\nUnder the proposal, tenants renting via Airbnb would have had to show written permission from their landlords. Many property owners dislike having tenants rent via Airbnb because of concerns about security, and wear and tear. Landlords increasingly have issued eviction notices to tenants renting on Airbnb, either because they are violating lease prohibitions against subletting, or on the grounds that they are committing illegal acts by flouting the city’s ban on short-term rentals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The initiative would have prohibited short-term rentals in in-law apartments, affordable housing units, apartments that were subject to an Ellis Act eviction, and units that received affordable housing funds from city, state or federal agencies. Theoretically, that latter provision could bar homeowners with Federal Housing Administration (FHA) mortgages — a common loan for lower-income people — from offering short-term rentals, for instance.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>“The city has known that short-term rentals to tourists is a problem, and the problem is getting worse, and the city has known this for well more than two years,\" Carlson said. \"And there’s been very ineffective enforcement of the laws that are on the books right now. So we are interested in seeing the city rein in this activity because it is hurting the affordability of the city.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

(Google Street View)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Dozens of design and production businesses in San Francisco's Showplace Square District likely face eviction as Pinterest plans to take over the building at 2 Henry Adams St.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The building is currently zoned for PDR--production, distribution, and repair--and can't be used for office space, like Pinterest plans to build. But a loophole in zoning regulations allows building owners to convert PDR-zoned buildings to office spaces if they are designated as historic landmarks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The property manager filed the paperwork to start that process last year. The San Francisco Historic Preservation Commission unanimously approved the historic designation on the almost 100-year-old building and now it just needs the official stamp from the Board of Supervisors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If 2 Henry Adams St., which was built in 1915 during the post-earthquake reconstruction, is designated as an historic landmark and Pinterest moves in, all tenants but a few on the first floor face eviction. Some of the tenants have been there for several decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At the moment we don't know exactly what is happening. That is part of the problem,\" says Jim Gallagher, General Manager at Garden Court Antiques, which is currently on the first floor of 2 Henry Adams St. \"Everyone has been sort of paralyzed and we realized that we need to speak up.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rumors Proved True\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rumors began circulating months ago and several companies started to get worried as the property owner stopped renewing leases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Country Floor, which has been on the first floor for 21 years, tried to renew their long-term lease several months ago, but were told (without being given a reason) that they could only sign a month-to-month lease, says Jeanne Reynolds, showroom manager at Country Floors. They were also told they couldn't remodel after hiring an expensive architect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They weren't telling us the truth about anything. They were telling different people different things. Not all tenants got notices about meetings.\" Reynolds says. \"We never even knew about the hearings. We felt threatened.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The property owner, who is pursuing the lease with Pinterest, plans to attempt to relocate some of the tenants with longer leases, like Garden Court Antiques, to spaces in the Galleria building across the street at 101 Henry Adams St. But that building is currently 80 percent leased, leaving little room for new tenants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While relocation and eviction details are still murky, it is clear that many of the current tenants don't want to leave their space or their community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I know for a fact, because I am in the location I am in, I work with the top designers. My clients are the top designers,\" says Reynolds. \"I would lose all my top clients.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garden Court Antiques has been on the ground floor, surrounded by big windows for years. Gallagher fears that moving the business will result in less foot traffic and business overflow from other business in the building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are a community of folks and part of how we have survived is because of what we draw in for one another,\" Gallagher says. \"If we are all spread out, we don't have critical mass.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gallagher adds that one of the important things to keep in mind are the blue-collar workers who rely on the businesses in 2 Henry Adams St.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Supervisor Malia Cohen is preparing legislation that could change the historic landmark designation loophole, mandating that even historic buildings can't fully convert to office space. Her office says that fourteen other buildings in the area are vulnerable because of that loophole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I am not comfortable with what the building is being proposed to be used for,\" Cohen told KQED's Cyrus Musiker. \"I believe that the design center is one of the most unique and important aspects that we have inside San Francisco and I want to acknowledge that office space is being built all over the city right now and i don't see why we need to convert precious PDR spaces into offices.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Board of Supervisors heard a review on the historic designation of 2 Henry Adams St. last Monday and will continue reviewing for the next three weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I do believe that [the building] is of landmark quality,\" Cohen says. \"I just don't feel comfortable moving forward until all the tenants have their questions answered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 12px auto 6px auto;font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;font-weight: normal;font-size: 14px;line-height: normal\">\u003ca style=\"text-decoration: underline\" title=\"View Landmark Recommendation Resolution on Scribd\" href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/230640618/Landmark-Recommendation-Resolution\">Landmark Recommendation Resolution\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe id=\"doc_2112\" class=\"scribd_iframe_embed\" src=\"//www.scribd.com/embeds/230640618/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

(Google Street View)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Dozens of design and production businesses in San Francisco's Showplace Square District likely face eviction as Pinterest plans to take over the building at 2 Henry Adams St.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The building is currently zoned for PDR--production, distribution, and repair--and can't be used for office space, like Pinterest plans to build. But a loophole in zoning regulations allows building owners to convert PDR-zoned buildings to office spaces if they are designated as historic landmarks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The property manager filed the paperwork to start that process last year. The San Francisco Historic Preservation Commission unanimously approved the historic designation on the almost 100-year-old building and now it just needs the official stamp from the Board of Supervisors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If 2 Henry Adams St., which was built in 1915 during the post-earthquake reconstruction, is designated as an historic landmark and Pinterest moves in, all tenants but a few on the first floor face eviction. Some of the tenants have been there for several decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At the moment we don't know exactly what is happening. That is part of the problem,\" says Jim Gallagher, General Manager at Garden Court Antiques, which is currently on the first floor of 2 Henry Adams St. \"Everyone has been sort of paralyzed and we realized that we need to speak up.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They were also told they couldn't remodel after hiring an expensive architect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They weren't telling us the truth about anything. They were telling different people different things. Not all tenants got notices about meetings.\" Reynolds says. \"We never even knew about the hearings. We felt threatened.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The property owner, who is pursuing the lease with Pinterest, plans to attempt to relocate some of the tenants with longer leases, like Garden Court Antiques, to spaces in the Galleria building across the street at 101 Henry Adams St. But that building is currently 80 percent leased, leaving little room for new tenants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While relocation and eviction details are still murky, it is clear that many of the current tenants don't want to leave their space or their community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I know for a fact, because I am in the location I am in, I work with the top designers. My clients are the top designers,\" says Reynolds. \"I would lose all my top clients.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garden Court Antiques has been on the ground floor, surrounded by big windows for years. Gallagher fears that moving the business will result in less foot traffic and business overflow from other business in the building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are a community of folks and part of how we have survived is because of what we draw in for one another,\" Gallagher says. \"If we are all spread out, we don't have critical mass.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gallagher adds that one of the important things to keep in mind are the blue-collar workers who rely on the businesses in 2 Henry Adams St.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Supervisor Malia Cohen is preparing legislation that could change the historic landmark designation loophole, mandating that even historic buildings can't fully convert to office space. Her office says that fourteen other buildings in the area are vulnerable because of that loophole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I am not comfortable with what the building is being proposed to be used for,\" Cohen told KQED's Cyrus Musiker. \"I believe that the design center is one of the most unique and important aspects that we have inside San Francisco and I want to acknowledge that office space is being built all over the city right now and i don't see why we need to convert precious PDR spaces into offices.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Board of Supervisors heard a review on the historic designation of 2 Henry Adams St. last Monday and will continue reviewing for the next three weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I do believe that [the building] is of landmark quality,\" Cohen says. \"I just don't feel comfortable moving forward until all the tenants have their questions answered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 12px auto 6px auto;font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;font-weight: normal;font-size: 14px;line-height: normal\">\u003ca style=\"text-decoration: underline\" title=\"View Landmark Recommendation Resolution on Scribd\" href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/230640618/Landmark-Recommendation-Resolution\">Landmark Recommendation Resolution\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe id=\"doc_2112\" class=\"scribd_iframe_embed\" src=\"//www.scribd.com/embeds/230640618/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

(Sandy Huffaker/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This June’s primary ballot is a short one, with only two statewide propositions. Advocates for veterans hope \u003ca href=\"http://voterguide.sos.ca.gov/propositions/41/\">Proposition 41\u003c/a> will catch the attention of California voters. It would allow the state to sell $600 million in bonds to fund housing for low-income and homeless veterans. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the goals is to create more places like \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/New-S-F-digs-for-veterans-in-need-4025450.php\">Veterans Commons at 150 Otis St\u003c/a>. in San Francisco. It opened less than two years ago and is now home to 75 veterans who once lived on the street or teetered on the edge of homelessness. That includes veterans like Dav Pate, who had a bumpy housing history. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For 10 years I lived up in the Castro, taking care of people and getting room at their place, couch surfing,” says Pate. “That’s a way of life in San Francisco — for those of us who are lucky enough to have friends who allow that.” Pate has multiple sclerosis and now uses a motorized wheelchair. Veterans Commons at 150 Otis gives him a permanent home and the support of a social worker, who helps him get the care and services he needs. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most of our veterans have, in addition to possible mental health, substance abuse issues, physical disabilities, some with HIV and AIDS,” says Tramecia Garner, director of residential programs for \u003ca href=\"http://www.swords-to-plowshares.org/\">Swords to Plowshares\u003c/a>, the nonprofit that runs the place. “The hope was veterans could live out the rest of their lives in a quality place, and not be homeless for the rest of their lives.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pate says getting his own apartment was a godsend. “I thought I was one of the chosen,” Pate says. “We need in San Francisco a dozen more like this.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He is just about right. At the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgov3.org/modules/showdocument.aspx?documentid=4819\">last official count\u003c/a>, San Francisco had more than 700 chronically homeless veterans. \u003ca href=\"https://www.onecpd.info/resources/documents/ahar-2013-part1.pdf\">Statewide\u003c/a>, the number is 15,000, mostly in Los Angeles, San Diego and San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘This allows us to have a much more responsive approach to the real day-to-day needs of veterans.’\u003ccite>John Pérez, former Assembly speaker\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>But housing like 150 Otis doesn’t come cheap. It cost $30 million to renovate. That’s why veterans’ advocates are pushing for Proposition 41. It would allow California to sell $600 million in bonds. That money would act as a catalyst to developers and nonprofits to create affordable rental housing for low-income vets and their families. “Whatever we can do to create a broader base of housing options is the key. And this will do that,” says Michael Blecker, director of Swords to Plowshares. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Big Change: Renting Instead of Buying\u003c/strong> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the housing created under Prop. 41 would include social services to help vets get back on their feet. And it would be available for rent. That’s a real change from how it’s been done in California. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For over 100 years, the state has helped vets to buy houses, farms and mobile homes through the CalVet Home Loans program. But demand for those loans has fallen significantly since 2000. Observers give many reasons. Some vets can’t afford to buy a home because they lack a stable income or they’ve been priced out of California’s real estate market. And those who can buy may find better mortgages on the open market. Blecker says the loan program is a relic. “A lot of these state veteran loan programs were a legacy of World War II, when there was a tremendous push for home ownership when the World War II veterans came back,” says Blecker. “How many veterans are coming back wanting to purchase a farm in the state of California? Not too many.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result, veterans housing bonds that voters approved in 2008 have never been sold. So, earlier this year, the Legislature voted to de-authorize $600 million in bonds — more than half of what’s sitting in the CalVet loan pot. Assembly Speaker Emeritus John \u003cspan style=\"color: #222222\">Pérez (D-Los Angeles), \u003c/span>who led the effort, says Prop. 41 would redirect the money where it’s needed most. “This allows us to have a much more responsive approach to the real day-to-day needs of veterans,” he says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prop. 41 has no vocal critics. But voters may want to consider what it will cost the state to pay back those bonds — $50 million a year for 15 years — from the general fund. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #222222\">Pérez\u003c/span> says it’s well worth it. “In San Diego, to deal with the issues of someone who is homeless on average costs the county $2,800 a month,” says \u003cspan style=\"color: #222222\">Pérez\u003c/span>. “Housing a vet through something like this costs us $685 a month. When you balance out the number of people who you can house through Prop 41, and the savings in housing them, it more than balances out the differences of the finance costs that the state will incur.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Will Voters Go For It?\u003c/strong> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure’s fate will depend on who turns out to vote and their appetite for state debt. Only one in three registered voters is likely to show up to this primary election, says Mark Baldassare, of the Public Policy Institute of California. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These will be voters who are frequent voters who tend to be older and more conservative. Bond measures are going to be looked at with some skepticism,” says Baldassare. He says public support for veterans may help Prop. 41 pass. And advocates say that if it does, it could help meet the national goal of \u003ca href=\"http://www.va.gov/homeless/about_the_initiative.asp\">ending veteran homelessness by 2015\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n",

At the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgov3.org/modules/showdocument.aspx?documentid=4819\">last official count\u003c/a>, San Francisco had more than 700 chronically homeless veterans. \u003ca href=\"https://www.onecpd.info/resources/documents/ahar-2013-part1.pdf\">Statewide\u003c/a>, the number is 15,000, mostly in Los Angeles, San Diego and San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘This allows us to have a much more responsive approach to the real day-to-day needs of veterans.’\u003ccite>John Pérez, former Assembly speaker\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>But housing like 150 Otis doesn’t come cheap. It cost $30 million to renovate. That’s why veterans’ advocates are pushing for Proposition 41. It would allow California to sell $600 million in bonds. That money would act as a catalyst to developers and nonprofits to create affordable rental housing for low-income vets and their families. “Whatever we can do to create a broader base of housing options is the key. And this will do that,” says Michael Blecker, director of Swords to Plowshares. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Big Change: Renting Instead of Buying\u003c/strong> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the housing created under Prop. 41 would include social services to help vets get back on their feet. And it would be available for rent. That’s a real change from how it’s been done in California. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For over 100 years, the state has helped vets to buy houses, farms and mobile homes through the CalVet Home Loans program. But demand for those loans has fallen significantly since 2000. Observers give many reasons. Some vets can’t afford to buy a home because they lack a stable income or they’ve been priced out of California’s real estate market. And those who can buy may find better mortgages on the open market. Blecker says the loan program is a relic. “A lot of these state veteran loan programs were a legacy of World War II, when there was a tremendous push for home ownership when the World War II veterans came back,” says Blecker. “How many veterans are coming back wanting to purchase a farm in the state of California? Not too many.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result, veterans housing bonds that voters approved in 2008 have never been sold. So, earlier this year, the Legislature voted to de-authorize $600 million in bonds — more than half of what’s sitting in the CalVet loan pot. Assembly Speaker Emeritus John \u003cspan style=\"color: #222222\">Pérez (D-Los Angeles), \u003c/span>who led the effort, says Prop. 41 would redirect the money where it’s needed most. “This allows us to have a much more responsive approach to the real day-to-day needs of veterans,” he says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prop. 41 has no vocal critics. But voters may want to consider what it will cost the state to pay back those bonds — $50 million a year for 15 years — from the general fund. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #222222\">Pérez\u003c/span> says it’s well worth it. “In San Diego, to deal with the issues of someone who is homeless on average costs the county $2,800 a month,” says \u003cspan style=\"color: #222222\">Pérez\u003c/span>. “Housing a vet through something like this costs us $685 a month. When you balance out the number of people who you can house through Prop 41, and the savings in housing them, it more than balances out the differences of the finance costs that the state will incur.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Will Voters Go For It?\u003c/strong> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure’s fate will depend on who turns out to vote and their appetite for state debt. Only one in three registered voters is likely to show up to this primary election, says Mark Baldassare, of the Public Policy Institute of California. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These will be voters who are frequent voters who tend to be older and more conservative. Bond measures are going to be looked at with some skepticism,” says Baldassare. He says public support for veterans may help Prop. 41 pass. And advocates say that if it does, it could help meet the national goal of \u003ca href=\"http://www.va.gov/homeless/about_the_initiative.asp\">ending veteran homelessness by 2015\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
