Board of Supervisors Meeting Agenda Tuesday, December 16, 2014
1. 141289 [Formal Policy Discussions - December 16, 2014]
Pursuant to Charter, Sections 2.103 and 3.100(7), and Administrative Code, Section
2.11, the Mayor shall answer the following eligible questions submitted from Supervisors
representing Districts 1 and 11. The Mayor may address the Board initially for up to five
minutes. Discussion shall not exceed five minutes per Supervisor.
1. Mr. Mayor, A recent story on 48 Hills found that 39 percent of condos built since 2000
have absentee owners, and for newer buildings like One Rincon Hill, that number is 50
percent or above. Luxury developments like the Four Seasons residences have more
than a 60 percent rate of absentee ownership
When wealthy people who don’t actually live here buy up San Francisco residential
properties, housing prices skyrocket beyond the reach of residents, making the cost of
living unaffordable for even middle income people. Not only are these wealthy absentee
buyers bidding up housing prices that effectively precludes everyday residents from
being able to “keep up” with the exorbitant prices, but these unoccupied units also
constrict the supply of housing available to meet the high demand for our City’s growing
workforce. And as we know, one factor in high housing prices is the limited amount of
new supply available for residents. The San Francisco Business Times reported last
year, “With a median home price of $706,300 in San Francisco, someone earning the
median income of $74,922 makes 48 percent less money than they need to afford a
median-priced home.”
This sort of home owner absenteeism is also bad for neighborhoods and leads to the
phenomenon of “zombie neighborhoods” that contain beautiful new luxury units but no
residents.
New York State Senator Brad Hoylman who represents part of Manhattan, has
announced his intention to introduce a bill that would place a property tax surcharge on
luxury homes in New York City owned by nonresidents. This kind of “pied-à-terre tax”
would address a very real problem that arises when a significant number of homes are
bought by wealthy out-of-towners for the simple purpose of a place to stay on occasion,
as an investment, or as a hedge against market swings.
I am beginning to research legislation to address this critical problem of newly built
housing that is unoccupied, can I count on your support in helping to address the issue
of residential real estate hoarding by out of town buyers? (Supervisor Mar, District 1)
2. Mr. Mayor, I am pleased to read about your expressing outrage about Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA) torture. What is your sense of outrage at the affordability crisis
that is harming working families in San Francisco? What else can you do to make a
measurable impact on the affordability housing crisis? I have called for a hearing to
consider new funding options for our housing crisis. What are some of the proposals we
can expect to collaborate on with your office of housing? (Supervisor Avalos, District 11)
Discussion: The Mayor shall DISCUSS eligible question(s) with the Board of Supervisors.
