"content": "\u003cp>The state of California's legal battle to overturn a San Francisco waterfront development measure is still alive after a judge on Wednesday denied a city motion to dismiss the action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit by the California State Lands Commission challenges \u003ca href=\"http://ballotpedia.org/City_of_San_Francisco_Voter_Approval_of_Waterfront_Construction_Exceeding_Height_Limits_Initiative,_Proposition_B_%28June_2014%29\" target=\"_blank\">Proposition B\u003c/a>. The commission says the measure violates state law by usurping the Port of San Francisco's authority over 7.5 miles of waterfront.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission also argues that by limiting the port's ability to develop its properties, granted to the city under the 1968 Burton Act, Prop. B interferes with the state's long-established interest in how the waterfront is used.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The initiative, passed by 59 percent of voters last June, requires developments to get voter approval if they exceed height limits of between 40 and 80 feet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Proposition B takes a portion of legislative authority away from the port. Not only does it set in stone height limits today, it takes away the future ability of the port to change those height limits without coming and getting approval of the people of the city of San Francisco,\" California Deputy Attorney General Joseph Rusconi argued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Deputy City Attorney Christine Van Aken defended Prop. B, contending the port hasn't had exclusive authority over the shoreline since the state transferred waterfront lands to the city in 1968 under an agreement known as the Burton Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The claim that complete authority over the waterfront actually resides with the port, under the Burton Act, and not with the Board of Supervisors and not with the people of San Francisco, is irreconcilable with 40 years of practice in San Francisco,\" said Van Aken. \"The height limits that are currently in effect on the waterfront were not set by the port. They were set by the Board of Supervisors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Superior Court Judge Suzanne Bolanos threw out one of the state Lands Commission's principal arguments: that by limiting the port's authority, Prop. B illegally conflicts with San Francisco City Charter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Bolanos rejected the city's attempt to dismiss four other parts of the state's lawsuit -- essentially, the Lands Commission assertions that Prop. B harms the port and conflicts with state interests -- and ordered a hearing on those issues May 20.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jon Golinger, who led the campaign to pass the measure, was pleased that \"Prop. B remains the law of the land,\" but expressed concerns about Bolanos' tentative ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This actually creates more uncertainty for developers and the port, rather than making clear what the rules are moving forward,\" he told reporters outside the courtroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Lands Commission, he said, has been \"focused on money, money, money, but the value of the waterfront includes that it's a resource-rich place. But views, recreation and open space are worth a lot to everyone in California, and that should be something we hope the judge will consider.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tim Cohen, executive director of the San Francisco Housing Action Coalition, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfhac.org/propb-lawsuit/\">wrote in a blog post\u003c/a> that the judge's decision \"indicates the measure may be in trouble.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Today’s ruling gives us optimism that Prop. B might not withstand legal scrutiny and may no longer be a barrier to building thousands of homes at all levels of affordability on San Francisco’s port property,\" Cohen said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe class=\"scribd_iframe_embed\" src=\"https://www.scribd.com/embeds/260056739/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" data-auto-height=\"false\" data-aspect-ratio=\"undefined\" scrolling=\"no\" id=\"doc_4476\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

B interferes with the state's long-established interest in how the waterfront is used.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The initiative, passed by 59 percent of voters last June, requires developments to get voter approval if they exceed height limits of between 40 and 80 feet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Proposition B takes a portion of legislative authority away from the port. Not only does it set in stone height limits today, it takes away the future ability of the port to change those height limits without coming and getting approval of the people of the city of San Francisco,\" California Deputy Attorney General Joseph Rusconi argued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

B, contending the port hasn't had exclusive authority over the shoreline since the state transferred waterfront lands to the city in 1968 under an agreement known as the Burton Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The claim that complete authority over the waterfront actually resides with the port, under the Burton Act, and not with the Board of Supervisors and not with the people of San Francisco, is irreconcilable with 40 years of practice in San Francisco,\" said Van Aken. \"The height limits that are currently in effect on the waterfront were not set by the port. They were set by the Board of Supervisors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Superior Court Judge Suzanne Bolanos threw out one of the state Lands Commission's principal arguments: that by limiting the port's authority, Prop. B illegally conflicts with San Francisco City Charter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Bolanos rejected the city's attempt to dismiss four other parts of the state's lawsuit -- essentially, the Lands Commission assertions that Prop. B harms the port and conflicts with state interests -- and ordered a hearing on those issues May 20.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jon Golinger, who led the campaign to pass the measure, was pleased that \"Prop. B remains the law of the land,\" but expressed concerns about Bolanos' tentative ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This actually creates more uncertainty for developers and the port, rather than making clear what the rules are moving forward,\" he told reporters outside the courtroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Lands Commission, he said, has been \"focused on money, money, money, but the value of the waterfront includes that it's a resource-rich place. But views, recreation and open space are worth a lot to everyone in California, and that should be something we hope the judge will consider.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tim Cohen, executive director of the San Francisco Housing Action Coalition, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfhac.org/propb-lawsuit/\">wrote in a blog post\u003c/a> that the judge's decision \"indicates the measure may be in trouble.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Today’s ruling gives us optimism that Prop. B might not withstand legal scrutiny and may no longer be a barrier to building thousands of homes at all levels of affordability on San Francisco’s port property,\" Cohen said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe class=\"scribd_iframe_embed\" src=\"https://www.scribd.com/embeds/260056739/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" data-auto-height=\"false\" data-aspect-ratio=\"undefined\" scrolling=\"no\" id=\"doc_4476\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Her situation, which she publicized in \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153190864139878\" target=\"_blank\">a Facebook post\u003c/a> last Saturday, has triggered a fevered debate on social media, in her neighborhood and even from the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"By raising the rent 400 percent and demanding a five-figure security deposit, the landlord is effectively evicting this tenant,\" Supervisor David Campos, who represents Bernal Heights, said at Tuesday's board meeting. He said he's asking the city attorney's office whether there's any way to stop Follingstad's de facto eviction, which would circumvent ordinances requiring formal notice and relocation payments when an owner wishes to occupy or change the rental status of a property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Attorney: Landlord Offering More Space\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nadia Lama did not respond to a call seeking comment, but her attorney, Denise Leadbetter, says the outrage from Campos and others is misdirected. She says the higher rent would include more space -- specifically, a downstairs area from which an apparently illegal in-law apartment was recently removed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The rent increase that has generated this controversy is actually an offer by the owner to rent a substantially larger home than was originally rented,\" Leadbetter said in an email statement Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also cited the fact that Follingstad has listed a guest room on Airbnb and says the tenant would be free to use the additional space \"to offset the rent increase through her existing Airbnb business.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Follingstad, \u003ca href=\"http://www.debfollingstadacupuncture.com/\" target=\"_blank\">an acupuncturist\u003c/a> who treats cancer patients at \u003ca href=\"http://smithintegrative.com/\">a San Francisco oncology practice\u003c/a>, acknowledges that she's listed a guest room on Airbnb to occasionally help cover her rent. But she also says the landlord's original notice of a rent increase made no mention of Airbnb. Furthermore, she says the letter stated the vacant space in question is not to be used as a living area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The in-law unit that Lama removed earlier this year had been in place since the early 1990s. City property records do not show a building permit for the recent work on the space that Leadbetter suggests can now be used as part of an Airbnb rental.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other public records suggest that Nadia Lama made plans to evict Follingstad several months ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Dec. 31, 2014, document filed in San Francisco Superior Court outlines the distribution of a number of Bernal Heights properties among Lama, her three brothers and two sisters. As her share of assets acquired by her late parents, Lama was to receive the Bocana Street residence and more than $750,000 in cash. The distribution also earmarked $7,500 \"to attorney of Nadia's choosing for eviction of tenant or tenants\" at Follingstad's address.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To unravel how Deb Follingstad and Nadia Lama became the leading players in San Francisco's latest drama of tenant displacement, you need to go back a little further -- to revisit a little bit of the history of the building that Follingstad has called home since 2004 and to dip briefly into the saga of the Lama family, which has owned the building since 1991.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City property records list the Bocana Street address as a one-unit residence. But, in fact, the building contained an in-law unit that the Lamas rented for about 20 years to a painting contractor named Wayne Moore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was an illegal apartment that they schlepped in there,\" Moore says. \"Probably no permits, no nothing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Family Patriarch's Legacy\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore says he initially rented from Shukry Lama, known to tenants and friends as Chuck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lama was a native of the town of Bethlehem -- the one in Palestine -- and as a young man emigrated to Chile. There, he met his wife, Vera, with whom he had six children. The family left Chile in 1973, the year a military junta deposed President Salvador Allende, and came to San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lama bought a store in Bernal Heights and over the years built a neighborhood real estate portfolio of about 10 properties and a dozen units. Lama eventually placed his holdings in a trust to benefit his wife and six adult children, some of whom became involved in managing the properties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'd paint a picture that the Lamas were not the world’s greatest landlords,\" Moore says. \"They didn’t repair anything. I needed a new refrigerator and they wouldn’t buy one – I had to buy it. If a faucet leaked, I fixed it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also says he wasn't happy with annual rent increases that he said exceeded those allowed under rent control.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'I'd paint a picture that the Lamas were not the world’s greatest landlords. They didn’t repair anything.'\u003ccite>Wayne Moore,\u003cbr>\nformer Bernal Heights tenant\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"They were raising the rent every year -– every damn year,\" Moore says. \"I didn’t have the time or energy to fight it, so I just paid it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Moore moved out, the Lamas removed the in-law unit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Follingstad, too, says her flat wasn't in great shape when she moved in in 2004. She recalls doing a walk-through with Chuck Lama before signing a new lease in 2006.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He was like, 'Ach, you know, it's all falling apart anyway. Don't worry about anything,' \" Follingstad recalls. The apartment's wooden window frames are in bad shape, she says, and the apartment has had a consistent mold problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, she insists she's enjoyed a friendly relationship with Nadia Lama, who lives in another family-owned building two doors away, and with the rest of the Lamas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've actually always had a nice relationship with all of them,\" Follingstad says. \"... Their father -- he was a good man.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For her part, Follingstad says she's tried to be a good tenant.

He said he's asking the city attorney's office whether there's any way to stop Follingstad's de facto eviction, which would circumvent ordinances requiring formal notice and relocation payments when an owner wishes to occupy or change the rental status of a property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Attorney: Landlord Offering More Space\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nadia Lama did not respond to a call seeking comment, but her attorney, Denise Leadbetter, says the outrage from Campos and others is misdirected. She says the higher rent would include more space -- specifically, a downstairs area from which an apparently illegal in-law apartment was recently removed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The rent increase that has generated this controversy is actually an offer by the owner to rent a substantially larger home than was originally rented,\" Leadbetter said in an email statement Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also cited the fact that Follingstad has listed a guest room on Airbnb and says the tenant would be free to use the additional space \"to offset the rent increase through her existing Airbnb business.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Follingstad, \u003ca href=\"http://www.debfollingstadacupuncture.com/\" target=\"_blank\">an acupuncturist\u003c/a> who treats cancer patients at \u003ca href=\"http://smithintegrative.com/\">a San Francisco oncology practice\u003c/a>, acknowledges that she's listed a guest room on Airbnb to occasionally help cover her rent. But she also says the landlord's original notice of a rent increase made no mention of Airbnb. Furthermore, she says the letter stated the vacant space in question is not to be used as a living area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The in-law unit that Lama removed earlier this year had been in place since the early 1990s. City property records do not show a building permit for the recent work on the space that Leadbetter suggests can now be used as part of an Airbnb rental.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other public records suggest that Nadia Lama made plans to evict Follingstad several months ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Dec. 31, 2014, document filed in San Francisco Superior Court outlines the distribution of a number of Bernal Heights properties among Lama, her three brothers and two sisters. As her share of assets acquired by her late parents, Lama was to receive the Bocana Street residence and more than $750,000 in cash. The distribution also earmarked $7,500 \"to attorney of Nadia's choosing for eviction of tenant or tenants\" at Follingstad's address.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To unravel how Deb Follingstad and Nadia Lama became the leading players in San Francisco's latest drama of tenant displacement, you need to go back a little further -- to revisit a little bit of the history of the building that Follingstad has called home since 2004 and to dip briefly into the saga of the Lama family, which has owned the building since 1991.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City property records list the Bocana Street address as a one-unit residence. But, in fact, the building contained an in-law unit that the Lamas rented for about 20 years to a painting contractor named Wayne Moore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was an illegal apartment that they schlepped in there,\" Moore says. \"Probably no permits, no nothing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Family Patriarch's Legacy\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore says he initially rented from Shukry Lama, known to tenants and friends as Chuck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lama was a native of the town of Bethlehem -- the one in Palestine -- and as a young man emigrated to Chile. There, he met his wife, Vera, with whom he had six children. The family left Chile in 1973, the year a military junta deposed President Salvador Allende, and came to San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lama bought a store in Bernal Heights and over the years built a neighborhood real estate portfolio of about 10 properties and a dozen units. Lama eventually placed his holdings in a trust to benefit his wife and six adult children, some of whom became involved in managing the properties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'd paint a picture that the Lamas were not the world’s greatest landlords,\" Moore says. \"They didn’t repair anything. I needed a new refrigerator and they wouldn’t buy one – I had to buy it. If a faucet leaked, I fixed it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also says he wasn't happy with annual rent increases that he said exceeded those allowed under rent control.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'I'd paint a picture that the Lamas were not the world’s greatest landlords. They didn’t repair anything.'\u003ccite>Wayne Moore,\u003cbr>\nformer Bernal Heights tenant\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"They were raising the rent every year -– every damn year,\" Moore says. \"I didn’t have the time or energy to fight it, so I just paid it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Moore moved out, the Lamas removed the in-law unit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Follingstad, too, says her flat wasn't in great shape when she moved in in 2004. She recalls doing a walk-through with Chuck Lama before signing a new lease in 2006.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He was like, 'Ach, you know, it's all falling apart anyway. Don't worry about anything,' \" Follingstad recalls. The apartment's wooden window frames are in bad shape, she says, and the apartment has had a consistent mold problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, she insists she's enjoyed a friendly relationship with Nadia Lama, who lives in another family-owned building two doors away, and with the rest of the Lamas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've actually always had a nice relationship with all of them,\" Follingstad says. \"... Their father -- he was a good man.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For her part, Follingstad says she's tried to be a good tenant. In addition to addressing the unit's mold problem, \"I've restored a lot of stuff, I've painted, I've taken good care of my apartment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>An Earlier Rent-Increase Case\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After she was notified of the 315 percent rent increase, Follingstad said she was advised by friends and even by a city building inspector that she should get a lawyer.
