Photo: Jon Starbuck/Flickr\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>San Francisco supervisors have begun considering a proposal that would allow landlords to voluntarily legalize in-law units, or secondary apartments, that make up a shadow housing market where some of the city’s most vulnerable tenants live, sometimes in substandard conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure by Supervisor David Chiu is an effort to preserve one of the city’s largest stocks of affordable housing. City officials estimate there are up to 40,000 in-laws, often in the garages or basements of single-family homes, which make up about 10 percent of the housing supply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A public hearing on the proposal Monday before the supervisors’ Land Use and Economic Committee was dominated by questions about how it would affect property owners, who would pay for potentially expensive upgrades to bring the units up to code, and complaints from residents in the city’s western neighborhoods who fear increased density.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/12/16/120916/in-law-units-San-Francisco\">we reported in December\u003c/a>, low-income families and seniors, including many recent immigrants, are often in-law tenants. Some don’t have signed leases and can be kicked out without any repercussions for landlords, who can easily put units back on the market and raise the rent. Some units lack basics, such as kitchens and stoves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure, according to Chiu, could bring thousands of illegal units up to code, protect tenants and “help homeowners make a long-term investment in affordable housing.” Landlords would be allowed to legalize one unit per lot, which would be rent controlled. It would prohibit them from legalizing if they have issued a no-fault eviction within 10 years. After a unit is upgraded, a property owner would be prohibited from converting it into a condo for sale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the hearing, some property owners testified that landlords shouldn’t have to shoulder the entire costs of bringing a unit up to code. Under the legislation, those costs could not be passed on to tenants, whom Chiu said are often struggling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some homeowners are elderly and “really depend on the rent from the tenants, who tend to be younger and better employed, to keep up the property,” real estate agent Dena Aslanian-Williams testified. “Not letting that homeowner pass on the cost of legalizing that unit is punitive and it’s actually regressive politics because it’s punishing the elderly homeowner.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chiu countered that sort of landlord is exactly the kind of homeowner the legislation is meant to target.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">The measure, according to Chiu, could bring thousands of illegal units up to code, protect tenants and “help homeowners make a long-term investment in affordable housing.” \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“If DBI (Department of Building Inspection) were to send out an inspector, they could shut that down and that elderly homeowner wouldn’t have access to that rent income,” said Chiu. “I’m trying to help protect the status of the tenant to live there, but also the ability for that elderly homeowner to have a legal stream of rental income so they can live in your neighborhood.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chiu said the measure had been carefully crafted after more than a year of input from tenants rights groups, property owners, neighborhood groups and others. It passed the San Francisco Planning Commission on a 6-1 vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For decades, San Francisco officials have tried but failed to pass legislation addressing in-law units, but with the city’s worsening economic inequality and housing displacement, Chiu argues the time is right to finally tackle the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We really tried to strike a balance here by making this voluntary. We’re allowing owners that have the ability to make the life safety changes that they need to,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some homeowners who live in the city’s more suburban neighborhoods were worried the measure would change zoning codes, allowing more density in areas with mostly single-family homes. They also complained the measure would not allow a homeowner to convert back to a single-family home after an in-law is legalized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How do you prevent the proliferation of rental units in our neighborhoods, cherished for friendly family dwellings and the safe community it fosters from known neighbors, who have a stake in the property as well as respect for the values of the district?” said resident George Wood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chiu has stressed the legislation covers only existing units. “The unit must have been built prior to this year, so we do not encourage homeowners to add more units without going through the required planning and building process,” Chiu wrote in \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfexaminer.com/sanfrancisco/fighting-to-preserve-affordable-housing-in-san-francisco/Content?oid=2680212\">a San Francisco Examiner op-ed\u003c/a> earlier this year. “The legalization program includes a pre-screening phase to allow a homeowner to gather information about the legalization process without fear of automatic enforcement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Supervisor Jane Kim agreed the legislation is important, she was concerned about how many landlords would actually take advantage of the program. She questioned what incentive there would be for homeowners to legalize. “It’s unclear to me what impact this legislation is going to have,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The idea is to take care of a good percentage of secondary units that really need very minimal changes done in order to be legalized,” Omar Calimbas of the Asian Law Caucus responded. His organization was part of a working group that helped fashion the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chiu said the program would be reevaluated every six months, and suggested that in a few years officials could consider whether the city or other lenders might help homeowners pay for the costs of upgrading.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tim Colen, executive director of the San Francisco Housing Action Coalition, said the problem has persisted for far too long and urged supervisors to pass the legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Maybe it only has a modest effect, and there’s not going to be a flood of people running to the front to have them legalized, but from the city’s perspective, I don’t understand what interest is served by keeping something illegal and having a rule that’s widely flouted or ignored, ” Colen said. “I think this is a very sensible step forward in the right direction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unless there are complaints, city building inspectors don’t go after illegal units. Every year the department takes about 100 units off the market for code violations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of the hearing Monday, the committee voted to move the legislation to the full Board of Supervisors without a recommendation of support. Supervisors Kim and Malia Cohen said they still have several questions, while Supervisor Scott Wiener said he supported it. The board is expected to consider it at its meeting next Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It passed the San Francisco Planning Commission on a 6-1 vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For decades, San Francisco officials have tried but failed to pass legislation addressing in-law units, but with the city’s worsening economic inequality and housing displacement, Chiu argues the time is right to finally tackle the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We really tried to strike a balance here by making this voluntary. We’re allowing owners that have the ability to make the life safety changes that they need to,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some homeowners who live in the city’s more suburban neighborhoods were worried the measure would change zoning codes, allowing more density in areas with mostly single-family homes. They also complained the measure would not allow a homeowner to convert back to a single-family home after an in-law is legalized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How do you prevent the proliferation of rental units in our neighborhoods, cherished for friendly family dwellings and the safe community it fosters from known neighbors, who have a stake in the property as well as respect for the values of the district?” said resident George Wood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chiu has stressed the legislation covers only existing units. “The unit must have been built prior to this year, so we do not encourage homeowners to add more units without going through the required planning and building process,” Chiu wrote in \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfexaminer.com/sanfrancisco/fighting-to-preserve-affordable-housing-in-san-francisco/Content?oid=2680212\">a San Francisco Examiner op-ed\u003c/a> earlier this year. “The legalization program includes a pre-screening phase to allow a homeowner to gather information about the legalization process without fear of automatic enforcement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Supervisor Jane Kim agreed the legislation is important, she was concerned about how many landlords would actually take advantage of the program. She questioned what incentive there would be for homeowners to legalize. “It’s unclear to me what impact this legislation is going to have,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The idea is to take care of a good percentage of secondary units that really need very minimal changes done in order to be legalized,” Omar Calimbas of the Asian Law Caucus responded. His organization was part of a working group that helped fashion the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chiu said the program would be reevaluated every six months, and suggested that in a few years officials could consider whether the city or other lenders might help homeowners pay for the costs of upgrading.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tim Colen, executive director of the San Francisco Housing Action Coalition, said the problem has persisted for far too long and urged supervisors to pass the legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Maybe it only has a modest effect, and there’s not going to be a flood of people running to the front to have them legalized, but from the city’s perspective, I don’t understand what interest is served by keeping something illegal and having a rule that’s widely flouted or ignored, ” Colen said. “I think this is a very sensible step forward in the right direction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unless there are complaints, city building inspectors don’t go after illegal units. Every year the department takes about 100 units off the market for code violations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That incident resulted in the San Francisco sheriff pleading guilty to one count of misdemeanor false imprisonment, which in turn led to his suspension by Mayor Ed Lee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor wants Mirkarimi permanently removed from his job, which he was elected to just last November. But only a vote of nine of the 11 members of the Board of Supervisors -- some of whom are Mirkarimi's former colleagues and political allies -- will make that a reality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So...does Mirkarimi have the three votes necessary to keep him on the government payroll?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think he might,\" says political analyst and University of San Francisco political science professor Corey Cook. \"There are those progressives on the board who don’t want to give up the one progressive elected citywide.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like who?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you're vote counting, you start with David Campos and John Avalos. Neither is facing a tough re-election, and both were strong supporters of Sheriff Mirkarimi as he was running for office.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Latterman, Cook's fellow political analyst at USF, agrees that if Mirkarimi has any votes, they'll come from those two.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The conventional wisdom is that Campos and Avalos are going to get a lot of pressure to support Mirkarimi,\" Latterman says. \"They're the two most left-wing supervisors, they're still fully part of the progressive movement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Okay that's two. Maybe. But he needs three.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Then you're talking about the swing vote being Christine Olague or potentially Eric Mar, who is the other strong progressive on the board but who is facing a difficult re-election challenge in District 1,\" says Corey Cook. \"If you have a third vote, it would probably be cast by one of the two.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Olague, on the surface, would seem to be between the craggiest rock and the hardest place on this. She was \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/01/09/reports-lee-to-appoint-planning-commission-president-christina-olague-as-mirkarimi-replacent-for-supervisor/\">appointed by the mayor to fill Mirkarimi's District 5\u003c/a> seat after he was elected sheriff, in what some analysts hailed as a politically shrewd move. Even though she supported Lee against progressive standard bearer John Avalos in the mayoral election, she has strong credentials in the community. But now she's up for election, being \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Candidates-for-District-5-supe-debate-3781594.php\">challenged from the left\u003c/a> in probably the city's most left-leaning district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A lot of the community who didn't know [Olague] before she was appointed is actually among Mirkarimi's core group of supporters,\" says Corey Cook. \"If she votes to remove him from office, she would really be hurting herself politically. If she votes not to she would be hurting herself politically too.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How so?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you're voting not to remove, you're taking a position opposite the domestic violence coalition, and I don’t know folks in San Francisco who want to be in opposition to them. On the other hand, a lot of people are standing behind the sheriff, who've said this is a politically motivated effort to remove him from office.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Latterman, Cook's fellow political analyst at the University of San Francisco, doesn't think Olague is likely to buck Ed Lee on this issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People talk about Christina Olague, but I think that's unlikely,\" Latterman says. \"While on most things she disagrees with the mayor, I think this is one thing when she would not want to go against the mayor who appointed her.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I asked him if the progressive votes she needs in her district isn't a complicating factor...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is, but does the left really want to stake a wedge issue on domestic violence? Remember, while the polling among progressives isn't going to be 70-30 or 80-20 in support of the mayor on this, it's not 50-50 either,\" Latterman says, referring to a \u003ca href=\"http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2012/03/21/cbs-5-poll-sf-wants-mirkarimi-out-as-sheriff/\">March poll\u003c/a> that found 72 percent saying Mirkarimi should resign. \"So I suspect that a lot of progressives understand this is not a good thing and aren't really going to hold it against Olague.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And again, for her to buck the mayor on this, frankly, for Ed Lee to lose this to the board, would be a real embarrassment for him.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then if not Olague, does Mirkarimi have a third vote?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Jane Kim is a dark horse,\" says Latterman. \"She really goes out of her way to show street cred to the left. Ever since her Twitter vote, she gets a lot of \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfbg.com/politics/2011/04/05/jane-kims-credibility-problem\">criticism from the left\u003c/a>. And she goes out of her way to try to throw them bones. She calls herself a strong progressive. So I think if there's a third it could be her.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corey Cook thinks Kim supporting Mirkarimi is a definite maybe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think she's proven herself to be a very pragmatic progressive voice on the board, so it wouldn't surprise me if she was the third vote. On the other hand it wouldn’t surprise me at all if she sided with the other voting bloc. She strikes me as very independent.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both analysts note this is not a vote the supervisors, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/03/22/analysis-pressure-on-progressive-supes-in-mirkarimi-removal-process/\">especially the progressives\u003c/a>, will relish by any means. Latterman thinks many will be eagerly awaiting any new polling that's done, and that individual decisions may be made depending on how Mirkarimi will react to the ethics panel's decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Ethics Commission found that Mirkarimi had yet to show any real contrition,\" he says. \"So that's an issue -- does Ross do a serious apology?

Neither is facing a tough re-election, and both were strong supporters of Sheriff Mirkarimi as he was running for office.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Latterman, Cook's fellow political analyst at USF, agrees that if Mirkarimi has any votes, they'll come from those two.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The conventional wisdom is that Campos and Avalos are going to get a lot of pressure to support Mirkarimi,\" Latterman says. \"They're the two most left-wing supervisors, they're still fully part of the progressive movement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Okay that's two. Maybe. But he needs three.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Then you're talking about the swing vote being Christine Olague or potentially Eric Mar, who is the other strong progressive on the board but who is facing a difficult re-election challenge in District 1,\" says Corey Cook. \"If you have a third vote, it would probably be cast by one of the two.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Olague, on the surface, would seem to be between the craggiest rock and the hardest place on this. She was \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/01/09/reports-lee-to-appoint-planning-commission-president-christina-olague-as-mirkarimi-replacent-for-supervisor/\">appointed by the mayor to fill Mirkarimi's District 5\u003c/a> seat after he was elected sheriff, in what some analysts hailed as a politically shrewd move. Even though she supported Lee against progressive standard bearer John Avalos in the mayoral election, she has strong credentials in the community. But now she's up for election, being \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Candidates-for-District-5-supe-debate-3781594.php\">challenged from the left\u003c/a> in probably the city's most left-leaning district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A lot of the community who didn't know [Olague] before she was appointed is actually among Mirkarimi's core group of supporters,\" says Corey Cook. \"If she votes to remove him from office, she would really be hurting herself politically. If she votes not to she would be hurting herself politically too.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How so?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you're voting not to remove, you're taking a position opposite the domestic violence coalition, and I don’t know folks in San Francisco who want to be in opposition to them. On the other hand, a lot of people are standing behind the sheriff, who've said this is a politically motivated effort to remove him from office.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Latterman, Cook's fellow political analyst at the University of San Francisco, doesn't think Olague is likely to buck Ed Lee on this issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People talk about Christina Olague, but I think that's unlikely,\" Latterman says. \"While on most things she disagrees with the mayor, I think this is one thing when she would not want to go against the mayor who appointed her.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I asked him if the progressive votes she needs in her district isn't a complicating factor...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is, but does the left really want to stake a wedge issue on domestic violence? Remember, while the polling among progressives isn't going to be 70-30 or 80-20 in support of the mayor on this, it's not 50-50 either,\" Latterman says, referring to a \u003ca href=\"http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2012/03/21/cbs-5-poll-sf-wants-mirkarimi-out-as-sheriff/\">March poll\u003c/a> that found 72 percent saying Mirkarimi should resign. \"So I suspect that a lot of progressives understand this is not a good thing and aren't really going to hold it against Olague.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And again, for her to buck the mayor on this, frankly, for Ed Lee to lose this to the board, would be a real embarrassment for him.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then if not Olague, does Mirkarimi have a third vote?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Jane Kim is a dark horse,\" says Latterman. \"She really goes out of her way to show street cred to the left. Ever since her Twitter vote, she gets a lot of \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfbg.com/politics/2011/04/05/jane-kims-credibility-problem\">criticism from the left\u003c/a>. And she goes out of her way to try to throw them bones. She calls herself a strong progressive. So I think if there's a third it could be her.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corey Cook thinks Kim supporting Mirkarimi is a definite maybe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think she's proven herself to be a very pragmatic progressive voice on the board, so it wouldn't surprise me if she was the third vote. On the other hand it wouldn’t surprise me at all if she sided with the other voting bloc. She strikes me as very independent.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both analysts note this is not a vote the supervisors, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/03/22/analysis-pressure-on-progressive-supes-in-mirkarimi-removal-process/\">especially the progressives\u003c/a>, will relish by any means. Latterman thinks many will be eagerly awaiting any new polling that's done, and that individual decisions may be made depending on how Mirkarimi will react to the ethics panel's decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Ethics Commission found that Mirkarimi had yet to show any real contrition,\" he says. \"So that's an issue -- does Ross do a serious apology? Secondly, does he make this still about a conspiracy theory? An anti-Ed Lee polemic? So I think who is affectable on the board sort of depends on what happens over the next few weeks.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, nobody on the Board of Supervisors has tipped their hand.

And he's picked somebody who was associated with some of his core backers in the campaign – that's ultimately a pretty good move politically.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's Olague \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9Xgflh4yv4&feature=player_embedded\">speaking at a Run Ed Run event\u003c/a> in July 2011:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe width=\"480\" height=\"274\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/H9Xgflh4yv4\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
