I
want
to
remind
the
committee
members
and
members
of
committee
members
and
members
of
the
public
to
follow
our
code
of
conduct
at
meetings.
This
includes
commenting
on
the
specific
agenda
item
only
and
addressing
the
full
body.
Public
speakers
will
not
engage
in
a
conversation
with
the
chair
or
council
members
or
staff.
All
members
of
the
committee
staff
and
the
public
are
expected
to
refrain
from
abusive
language,
repeated
failure
to
comply
with
the
code
of
conduct
which
will
disturb,
disrupt
or
impede
the
orderly
conduct
of
this
meeting.
B
C
B
Great
I
appreciate
the
attendance
and
I
know
you're
here
for
a
couple
of
issues.
The
first
thing
I'd
like
to
announce
is
that,
because
of
the
number
of
people
present
here
and
the
number
of
people
online,
we
are
going
to
limit
public
comment
to
one
minute.
So
if
you,
if
you
plan
for
two
minutes,
start
working
on
your
speeches
now
for
one
minute
when
we
get
to
those
at
that
point
and
I
see
a
lot
of
Copa
signs
both
for
and
against.
B
So
when
we
get
to
that
item,
if
you
could
and
you're
here
in
public
fill
out
a
card,
please
and
put
it
in
the
boxes
down
below.
If
you're
online
you'll
be
able
to
raise
your
hand
when
we
get
to
that
point,
we
will
start
with
people
in
public
first
and
then
go
to
those
online
for
Co
for
conversation
or
for
comments.
We
do
have
interpretation.
E
G
G
B
Thank
you
very
much,
so
we
have
a
quorum.
We
have
and
we're
ready
to
start.
So
we
don't
have
anything
on
the
consent.
Calendar
we'll
move
first
to
the
first
report,
which
is
a
report
from
Team
San,
Jose
performance
and
activity
status
report.
Carrie.
Are
you
making
that
presentation?
Yes,
she
is
I,
see
her
coming
down
here.
H
Okay
and
I
want
to
just
mention
that
team
San
Jose
it
has
two
contracts
with
the
city
is
for
the
convention
and
visitors
bureau
and
also
for
its
management
of
our
convention
and
cultural
facilities.
We
present
to
this
committee
two
times
a
year.
We
have
semi-annual
updates,
that's
part
of
our
contractual
agreement
and
then,
in
addition
to
that,
the
city
auditor
will
present
a
review
of
their
performance.
So
what
you're
going
to
be
seeing
today
is
an
unaudited
update.
H
It's
going
to
include
the
performance
measures
for
the
first
part
of
this
fiscal
year
and
then
is
going
to
also
include
some
Trends
and
just
some
some
local
analysis,
just
for
your
better
understanding
of
how
that
relates
to
their
work.
So
with
that
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over,
oh
one,
more
thing,
I
just
wanted
to
quickly
add
is
the
council
does
have
the
ability
you
actually
annually
approve
their
performance
metrics
as
part
of
the
annual
budget
process,
so
there
will
be
a
manager's
budget
addenda.
H
I
Thank
you,
chairman
Foley
council
members.
We're
really
happy
to
present
our
mid-year
update
to
you
this
afternoon,
I'm
Ben
roshke,
vice
president
of
research
and
strategic
development
with
Team
San
Jose,
and
since
we
have
a
number
of
new
faces
on
the
on
the
committee,
since
we
last
presented
just
kind
of
wanted
to
add
a
little
color
to
what
Kerry
said.
You
know.
J
Please,
thank
you.
Sorry,
it's
my
first
time
so
so
we're
going
to
look
at
the
year
to
date,
December
2022
financials
and
the
first
line
is
estimated
director
visitor
spent.
The
actual
number
is
24.5
million
dollars
and
the
goal
was
17
million.
So
we
have
a
positive
variance
of
7.4
million
future
room
Knights
about
44,
000
room
nights
and
the
goal
was
55
000..
So
we
have
a
little
work
to
do
here.
We're
11
000
of
nights
behind
theater,
occupancy
89
against
a
budget
or
a
goal
of
74.
J
So
we're
ahead
of
the
game
by
15
percent
gross
operating
Revenue,
22
million
compared
to
a
17
million
budget,
and
we
have
a
positive
variance
of
4.8
million
dollars.
Gross
operating
results,
3.4
million
dollars
compared
to
a
goal
of
negative
514
thousand
dollars,
and
that's
a
positive
variance
of
3.9
million
dollars.
Customer
satisfaction.
We
are
at
100
percent.
The
goal
was
95,
so
we're
ahead
of
the
goal
by
five
percent.
J
I
You
know,
as
everybody
knows,
covid
really
took
served
a
huge
hit
to
the
hospitality
industry
overall,
and
we
kind
of
have
a
good
news,
bad
news
update
right
now
for
the
hotel
economy.
The
good
news
is
overall
demand
levels,
which
is
the
number
of
rooms
sold
have
reached,
are
getting
closer
to
pre-covered
levels.
That's
about
92
percent
of
demand,
city-wide!
I
It's
tempered
somewhat
because,
unlike
any
of
our
comps,
that
we
track
about
10
competitive
destinations
through
the
West
Coast,
we
added
on
more
rooms
since
our
pre-covered
levels.
We
have
about
13
percent,
more
rooms
in
the
city
now
than
we
did
in
fiscal
year.
1819..
A
lot
of
those
are
almost
all
those
are
select
service
or
Extended,
Stay
properties,
a
lot
clustered
around
the
airport
and
the
northern
Tech
campuses.
So
that
has
lowered
our
occupancy.
I
Somewhat
revenue
is
lagging
a
little
bit,
we're
still
at
75
percent
of
pre-covered
levels
and
we'll
get
into
some
reasons
there.
But
the
good
news
again
is:
we
had
a
very
conservative
budget
from
the
city
going
into
this
year
and
as
of
mid-year,
Revenue
was
about
43
percent
higher
than
the
budgeted
amount
through
the
first
six
months,
which
will
be
good
news
for
every
all.
The
tot
recipients
and
downtown
hotels
continue
to
lag
our
pre-coveted
performance.
So
that's
really
a
bad
news
indicator.
I
There
are
two
primary
reasons:
we're
seeing
really
struggling
return
of
business
travel,
which
was
our
bread
and
butter
pre-covered,
those
midweek
transient
business
rooms
and
the
second
is
really
we've
and
Matthew
will
get
into
this.
On
the
next
slide.
A
number
of
hotel
properties
downtown
have
sort
of
adopted
a
significant
change
to
their
approach
to
group
rooms.
That's
the
rooms
that
book
in
the
convention
center
or
book
within
their
own
properties
and
that
in
normal
down
times,
would
have
relying
on
those
rooms
would
have
really
helped
boost
some
of
our
levels.
K
Good
afternoon,
chairman
Foley
and
council
members,
it's
good
to
be
with
you
today:
I'm
Matthew,
martinucci,
Vice,
President
of
Sales
and
destination
services
for
team
San
Jose.
So
our
business
climate
has
changed
significantly
in
the
last
six
to
eight
months
and
our
walkable
rooms,
which
is
very
important
to
any
large
group
considering
a
destination.
What
walkable
means
is
that
the
attendees
can
go
back
to
their
room
from
a
Convention
Center
without
having
to
get
on
a
bus
or
take
other
Transportation.
K
Sales
kickoff
meetings,
which
are
extremely
lucrative,
are
also
less
likely
because
in
that
particular
case,
they
never
want
to
put
sales
people
on
a
bus,
put
20
percent
of
sales
people
on
a
bus
and
send
them
somewhere
else.
They
really
like
everyone
to
be
able
to
congregate
and
lobbies
and
see
each
other
as
much
as
possible.
K
We
are
competing
as
a
result
of
this
San
Jose,
now
competes
with
many
single
properties.
When
you
think
of
seven
to
eight
hundred
rooms,
there
are
multiple
facilities
on
the
west
coast
and
all
over
the
United
States
that
can
easily
house
a
group
that
big
we
would
be
asking
them
to
sign
three
or
four
Hotel
contracts
to
have
that
same
event.
Here
large
groups
that
we
have
that
we
booked
California,
Dental,
Association
and
fanime
that
fill
need
periods
and
need
periods
are
usually
around
holidays.
K
When
the
group
When
there's
less
natural
demand,
groups
like
that
may
be
put
at
risk
in
the
long
term
by
these
changes
and
then
large
groups
that
we
all
know
and
love
and
that
we
haven't
seen
in
a
few
years,
groups
like
apple
and
Facebook.
When
those
large
events
are
ready
to
come
back,
it
will
be
harder
for
us
to
accommodate
their
previous
requirements.
K
So
our
team
has
adjusted
our
strategies
to
to
you
know
adapt
to
all
of
this,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
we've
done
is
every
goal.
Carrying
position
in
the
sales
department
is
full.
We
have
filled
them
with
top
talent
and
we
are
very
confident
in
in
what
they
will
be
able
to
do
in
these
market
conditions.
We're
also
diversifying
our
market
segments
for
groups.
K
So,
in
addition
to
corporate
we've,
had
a
lot
of
success
with
State
associations,
Youth
Sports,
which
was
a
market
that
was
not
significantly
present
here
and
then
also
religious
and
cultural
events.
So
we
will
continue
to
pursue
every
Market
segment,
that's
available,
we're
being
extremely
flexible
and
discounting
where
we
need
to,
especially
in
the
next
12
months.
K
It's
one
of
the
advantages
of
managing
the
convention
center
is
that
we
have
complete
latitude
to
make
decisions
and
to
make
packages
attractive
to
groups,
and
then
we
have
an
uptown
Hotel
strategy
and
Uptown
is
the
area
close
to
the
airport.
We
have
several
partner
hotels
there.
A
few
of
them
even
are
new
since
covid
and
we
are
offering
to
groups
that
are
willing
to
House
people.
K
10
minutes
away
that
we
will
provide
the
shuttle
system
up
to
those
properties
and,
depending
on
the
type
of
group
that
it
is,
we've
had
several
that,
like
this
option,
the
rates
are
usually
a
little
bit
more
attractive
and,
if
they're
not
having
to
pay
for
the
shuttle,
they're
they're
more
amenable
to
it
than
a
group.
That
really
insists
on
having
everybody
close
to
the
downtown
core.
K
K
So
we
have,
we
have
limited
tickets
to
some
of
those
games
and
we've
been
taking
customers
and
they're
really
enjoying
it
and
we're
supporting
local
businesses.
At
the
same
time,
the
last
major
initiative
is
just
our
third
party
strategy.
Third
parties
are
a
portal
to
many
other
customers,
and
so
we
have
a
preferred
relationship
with
Helms
Briscoe,
which
is
a
major
intermediary.
K
L
Hi
everybody
for
the
record
I'm
Laura,
shimelusi
I'm,
vice
president
of
marketing
and
Communications
for
team
San,
Jose
very
happy
to
be
here
today
to
report
on
our
marketing
and
sales
efforts
to
add
briefly
one
thing
to
what
Ben
said.
As
you
know,
we're
a
non-profit
that
actually
generates
revenue
for
the
city
and
then
it's
reinvested
several
ways.
First,
so
you
know
it
feeds
the
office
of
cultural
Affairs.
It
also
feeds
the
general
fund.
It
takes
care
of
the
facilities
that
we
manage
as
well
as
destination
marketing
efforts.
L
These
ads
are
specifically
to
drive
in
people
who
are
looking
to
spend
money
in
our
hotels,
not
use
any
city
services
and
then
go
home
again.
So
if
you
start
searching
San
Jose
hotels,
I
promise
you
you
will
be,
you
will
be
served
our
ads
next
slide.
Please
so
I'm
very
happy
to
report
that
in
the
six
months
that
we're
reporting
on
from
July
to
December,
we
had
50
million
impressions
that
generated
1.4
million
hotel
searches
of
these
hotel
searches.
11
667
booked
booked
room
nights
of
those
room
nights.
L
They
they
turned
into
fifty
one
thousand
three
hundred
and
thirty
five
hotel
room
nights.
So
that's
a
lot
of
room
nights.
That
means
an
additional
5.5
million
dollars
in
revenue
and
total
revenue
of
non-residents
spent
directly
attributed
to
this
campaign
is
almost
20
million
dollars.
So
we
thank
the
city
for
continuing
to
invest
in
the
support,
important
Economic
Development
strategy,
and
we
look
forward
to
continuing
it
next
slide.
Please,
in
addition
to
this,
we
support
Matthew's
team
and
his
sales
efforts.
L
Remember
it
makes
clients
easier
to
book,
San,
Jose
and
attendees
more
readily
able
to
attend
when
they
understand
want
to
go
to
a
destination.
So
the
rest
of
the
things
I'm
going
to
talk
about
are
in
an
effort
to
raise
the
awareness
of
San
Jose.
As
a
destination
for
meetings
and
Leisure,
so
in
our
paid
meeting
strategy
again,
we
are
targeting
directly
to
people
who
can
influence
these
decisions
next
slide.
Please
we're
looking
at
Meeting
Planners
across
the
United
States.
There
are
about
160
000,
Meeting
Planners.
L
I
would
like
to
be
happy
to
report
here
that
of
those
160
000
people
they
received
Impressions
on
San
Jose
14
million
times
an
additional
1700
signed
up
to
receive
our
B2B
newsletter
to
receive
more
weekly
and
monthly
information
on
San
Jose
and
almost
70
rfps
were
generated
strictly
on
the
ad
campaign
alone.
Those
are
people
directly
looking
to
book
business
in
San
Jose
next
slide.
Please.
L
We
also
elevated
awareness
of
San
Jose
by
using
organic
social
media.
We
also
do
paid
social
media
and
paid
search.
We'll
be
you'll
be
happy
to
note
that
we
surf
this
on
a
daily
basis,
looking
at
macro
and
micro
indicators
and
only
doing
things
that
reflect
well
well,
we
we
try
to
embrace
social
media
channels
that
don't
censor
that
aren't
paid
and
that
provide
the
greatest
Clarity
and
transparency.
Let
me
just
say
that,
and
surfing
it
is,
as
you
know
is.
It
is
an
important
part
of
what
we
do.
L
I
invite
you
all
to
follow
us
on
visit
San
Jose
at
visit
San
Jose,
to
see
how
we're
posting,
especially
on
Instagram,
where
we're
doing
very
well
year.
Over
year
we
have
grown
almost
30
percent
next
slide.
Please
we
also
do
consumer
newsletter.
This
was
just
launched
with
the
consumer
site
seven
years
ago.
Again,
this
all
goes
with
an
eye
to
conversion
and
overnight
stays.
We
always
make
sure
to
include
not
only
Hotel
Partners
but
small
businesses
in
our
newsletters
from
July
to
December.
We
did
12
campaigns
we
reached
over
500
000
emails.
L
Our
database
now
is
86
000
people.
If
you
want
to
get
great
information
on
San,
Jose
I
encourage
everybody
here,
sign
up
at
San
jose.org,
and
thank
you
next
slide.
Please,
we
also
do
earned
media.
This
is
media
that
we
work
with
establish
broadcast
channels
on.
We
do
not
pay
for
this.
This
is
us
pitching
stories
about
San
Jose
I'm,
happy
to
say
that
during
the
time
period
we're
looking
at
we
place
22
stories
reaching
17
million
people.
L
If
we
were
to
pay
for
this
coverage,
it
would
be,
it
would
cost
an
additional
167
thousand
dollars.
You'll
be
happy
to
know
that
San
Jose
was
featured
in
National
Geographic
traveler
during
this
time,
as
well
as
travel
and
Leisure,
and
multiple
coverages
across
local
channel
local
channels,
and
that's
it
for
marketing
and
Communications
I
hope
I
didn't
talk
too
fast.
Thank
you
so
much
any
questions
for
us.
B
E
B
D
I
think
I
was
really
pleased
that
your
last
part
of
the
presentation
was
highly
motivating
and
you
look
very
inspired
that
you're
looking
to
the
better
future
for
San
Jose,
so
I'm
really
glad
on
that
and
one
question
for
you:
does
Airbnb
compete
in
this
thing.
What's
the
significance
of
it
with
us,
the
only
leisure
travel
in
your
business
so
give
me
a
little
feel
for
that.
Yeah.
I
Well,
Airbnb
actually
contributes
to
the
tot,
so
it's
not
a
competitive
situation
for
us.
They
and
we've
seen
usage
of
Airbnb
actually
accelerate
post
pandemic.
So
the
the
platform
worked
out,
an
agreement
with
the
city
whereby
tot
is
automatically
charged
through
the
Airbnb
platform,
so
that
10
is
collected.
So
it's
not
really
a
competitive
piece
for
us.
We
work.
We
work
primarily
with
the
hotels
to
for
inspiration,
as
as
our
major
portals,
but
in
looking
to
lift
inspiration
and
Laura
can
jump
in
here
too.
You
know
obviously
we're
look.
I
L
Add
to
what
Ben
said
really
quickly:
we
look
for
opportunities
to
generate
PR
around
really
unique
stays.
So
Airbnb
is
a
really
good
story,
generator
from
an
earned
media
perspective.
So
we
like
them
not
only
that
they're
paying
the
Tot,
but
also
that
they
give
us
great
ideas
for
stories
to
pitch.
So.
M
N
Hello
good
afternoon,
thank
you,
team,
San
Jose
for
being
here
and
thank
you
Carrie
as
well
for
for
being
here.
So
definitely
good
news.
Bad
news
definitely
concerned
about
our
hotels
and
lack
of
access
to
our
hotels.
So,
and
we
all
know,
that's
super
important
to
bring
in
larger
conferences
into
our
convention
center,
but
I
know
that
we
have
a
super
long
meeting.
So
I'm
going
to
be
asking
my
questions
more
offline,
but
I
just
I
want
to
give
a
huge
shout
out
to
team
San
Jose
for
keeping
San
Jose
thriving.
N
O
O
So
you
know
when
you
mentioned
looking
out,
you
know
12
years
people
plan
18
months
out
and
so
I
I
just
hope
that
you
know
as
we're
moving
forward,
which
it
looks
like
we
are,
there's
recognition
that
more
needs
to
be
done
in
that
sort
of
if
they,
like
you,
one
time,
they're
going
to
come
back
again
and
again
and
again
so
I
think
that
I'll
certainly
be
looking
for
those
types
of
things
for
the
future.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
for
the
presentation
I've
watched
this
go
from
bad
during
the
first
coveted
years
to
improving
over
time,
and
this
report
is
really
fabulous,
given
what
we,
what
we've
been
through
I'm,
disappointed
to
hear
how
many
hotel
rooms
we
have
down
here
and
how
and
and
what
caused
that
I
was
hoping
that
Sigma
reopening
would
would
raise
the
awareness
of
San
Jose
again.
Did
that
have
any
positive
impact.
I
know
they're
getting
ready
to
sell
one
Tower
and
that's
going
that'll
affect
the
bedroom
count
for
sure.
K
We
were
also
extremely
optimistic
when
the
property
reopened
after
a
year
of
being
closed
and
it's
such
an
iconic
building
for
the
city
as
well.
It's
not
just
805
rooms,
it's
a
building
that
everybody
knows
if
they
know
anything
about
downtown,
so
it
it
was
disappointing
to
see
the
change
in
strategy
and-
and
so
it's
I'm
not
going
to
say,
there's
anything
good
that
comes
from
that
change
in
strategy.
B
Having
been
to
my
share
of
conferences,
it's
always
nice
to
be
in
What's
called
the
headquarter
Hotel,
so
you
can
do
that.
Walkability,
I
I,
really
like
that
you're
thinking
out
of
the
box
and
offering
shuttles
from
our
hotels
that
are
closest
to
the
airport,
because
those
may
be
less
expensive
for
people
to
stay
in.
So
there
may
be
a
price
point
that
that
makes
a
lot
of
sense
for
the
people
staying
and
those
who
are
coming
down
for
convention.
So
I
I,
I'm
optimistic
in
the
report.
B
B
That
passes
motion
carries.
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
note
that
there
was
an
amended
agenda
that
was
distributed
and
posted
publicly.
That
defers
item
two,
which
is
the
local
small
business,
Contracting
participation
annual
report
that
will
be
moved
to
the
April
meeting
of
CED,
and
actually
we
have
another
report
that
day
that
also
deals
with
small
businesses.
So
it
will
be
good
to
hear
the
two
at
the
same
time.
So
we
deferred
that.
So
now,
moving
on
to
item
number
three,
which
is
Copa
Community
opportunity
to.
B
B
If
not,
then
please
refrain
from
shouting
because
it
does
delay
us
getting
to
the
next
person
and
I
want
to
be
respectful
from
all
of
the
people.
We
have
something
like
60
cards,
70
cards
here
of
people
in
the
audience,
maybe
a
little
bit
more
and
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
people
online
too.
So
we
just
we
want
to
get
through
them
because
you're
a
point.
Your
opinion
is
important
to
us,
but
first
we
have
a
presentation
that
I'd
like
to
turn
to
who's,
leading
this
one
off:
okay,
Rachel.
P
P
So
today
our
our
presentation
is
brought
to
you
again
by
this
group
of
people,
but
also
has
been
shaped
by
our
community.
We
can
see
that
there
are
many
people
who
have
joined
us
today
in
the
room,
but
have
also
joined
us
over
the
last
two
years
in
an
extensive
Community
participatory
process
to
have
a
conversation
about
how
we
could
create
a
community
opportunity
to
purchase
program
here
in
San
Jose
that
works
for
us
that
works
for
everyone
here
in
San
Jose.
P
Okay,
sorry,
it
just
looks
like
our
slides
were
out
of
order.
We
can.
It's.
I
can
just
cover
the
next
item,
so
our
staff
report
today
will
provide
information
on
the
Copa
program,
the
development
status
and
review
rationales
for
the
program,
and
then
we
will
briefly
review
major
elements
of
the
program
as
we
go
through
the
presentation
and
so
now
I
will
hand
over
the
presentation
to
Kristin
Clemens
to
describe
the
Copa
program.
Q
For
the
last
two
years,
staff
have
worked
really
hard
to
create
a
compromise
proposal
that
balances
the
interests
between
owners
of
small
and
large
Properties,
Real
Estate
professionals,
lenders
and
developers
and
community-based
organizations
and
lower
income
renters.
This
has
been
housing's
largest
Outreach
effort
in
recent
history.
We
had
more
than
1200
people
attend
the
city's
meetings.
I
think
we're
setting
records
again
today
in
this
chamber,
and
we
had
almost
500
different
people
and
at
least
50
organizations
involved
in
the
process
in
doing
Outreach.
We'll
just
also
note
staff
has
emphasized
language
access.
Q
Q
Q
This
profound
mismatch
between
wages
and
rents
is
increasing
residence
risks
of
displacement.
This
is
clear
when
you
look
at
lower
income,
renters
cost
burdens,
72
percent
of
lower
income,
renters
pay
more
than
30
percent
of
their
income
for
housing,
and
this
includes
39
percent
of
that
group
who
pays
more
than
half
of
their
income
for
housing,
not
intervening
to
help.
These
families
leads
to
extremely
high
costs
for
them
in
in
economic
opportunities
and
degraded
Health
and
Family
Life,
but
also
potentially
high
costs
for
the
city
and
the
county.
Q
A
2018
study
in
Santa
Clara
County
by
the
urban
displacement
project
at
UC
Berkeley
found
that
25
percent
of
lower
income
residents,
who
were
renting
in
our
County
and
then
displaced,
reported
becoming
homeless.
They
were
living
on
the
streets
or
in
shelters.
They
were
living
in
their
cars
or
in
garages
or
they
were
permanently
Couchsurfing.
Q
We
also
know
from
data
that
displacement
in
San
Jose
is
not
race
neutral,
helping
families
in
areas
of
the
city
where
displacement
is
either
definitively
occurring
or
probably
occurring
according
to
UC
Berkeley
means
that
the
city
would
be
affirmatively
furthering
fair
housing
access
for
protected
classes
to
help
with
this
problem,
data
indicates:
13
percent
of
non-hispanic
white
residents
live
in
high
displacement
areas,
but
45
percent
of
Hispanic
and
latinx
residents
live
in
these
areas.
34
percent
of
Vietnamese
residents
and
30
percent
of
African-American
residents
all
live
in
high
displacement
areas
in
our
city.
Q
This
is
not
coincidental
because
of
historical
redlining
and
other
uneven
public
investments
in
communities
of
color.
It's
produced
these
uneven
effects,
non-profit,
affordable
housing
providers
can
help
stabilize
the
community.
They
are
uniquely
qualified
to
help
address
these
issues.
They
are
the
only
buyers
who
would
right
size
rents
to
match
what
existing
tenants
could
reasonably
afford
and
they
care
about
cost
burdens
and
it's
hard
to
create
affordable
housing
opportunities.
It's
really
important
not
to
lose
this
once
we
do
have
it.
Q
But
non-profit
housing
providers
trying
to
do
the
hard
job
of
preservation
in
San
Jose
face
barriers
in
our
Market.
The
Copa
process
would
remove
these
barriers
so
that
these
non-profits
could
acquire
more
buildings,
improve
physical
condition
and
then
turn
them
into
restricted,
affordable
housing.
There
are
two
main
barriers
that
Copa
would
address.
Q
Q
Q
Therefore,
copa's
timeline
would
level
the
playing
field
so
that
affordable
housing
nonprofits
could
better
compete
with
other
buyers
to
make
Fair
offers,
and
it
would
give
them
a
brief
period
of
time
where
they
could
introduce
themselves
to
the
seller,
explain
their
qualifications
and
make
a
fair
offer.
That's
also
good
for
the
community.
Q
Q
So
the
question
here
is
not
aren't
there
any
properties
out
there
that
non-profits
could
buy
nonprofits
creating,
affordable
housing
need
to
look
at
more
properties
than
for-profit
buyers.
They
need
properties
with
the
right
combination
of
price
condition,
location
near
their
other
properties,
tenants
that
likely
meet
their
target
income
levels
and
that
meet
all
the
requirements
of
funding
sources
that
might
prioritize
certain
kinds
of
neighborhoods,
certain
building
types
and
proximity
to
Transit
and
other
amenities.
Q
Q
Q
Q
The
Copa
program
has
several
goals
stated
here.
Of
course,
the
core
goal
is
to
prevent
displacement
of
lower
income
renters
by
helping
to
preserve
housing,
Target
incomes
of
renters.
They
would
be
very
low
and
low-income
people.
As
an
example,
a
one-person
household
in
2022
could
have
earned
between
thirty
five
thousand
four
hundred
up
to
50
550.
Q
S
Q
So
this
slide
gives
you
just
an
overview
of
what
the
proposal
is.
It's
simply
a
process
change
that
would
give
City
qualified
non-profit
housing
providers
a
right
to
make
a
first
offer
to
buy
a
property
when
the
owner
decides
to
put
it
up
for
sale
and
if
the
first,
if
their
first
offer,
is
not
accepted
to
be
able
to
talk
to
the
owner
one
more
time
and
make
a
final
counter
offer.
Q
First,
the
city
would
approve
a
group
of
qualified
non-profits
that
are
experienced
in
affordable
housing
to
participate
in
the
program,
and
then
the
owner
would
not
notify
these
qualified
nonprofits.
When
the
property
is
coming
up
for
sale,
they
could
do
the
notification
very
early
in
their
listing
process
right
after
they
hire
I
should
say
in
their
sales
process.
So
right
after
they
hire
an
agent,
but
while
they're
still
doing
minor
repairs
or
painting
they
could
list
their
project
or
their
property
with
the
city.
Q
So
would
not
delay
the
listings
for
very
long,
and
then
one
single
non-profit
in
that
pool
would
have
15
days
to
decide
if
they
want
to
make
an
offer.
So
all
of
them
could
look
at
it,
but
then
they
have
to
talk
and
only
one
offer
would
come
forward
and
then,
if
they
had
issued
a
letter
that
they
intend
to
make
an
offer,
they
will
have
to
follow
through
on
that
and
in
the
next
25
days.
The
owner
would
receive
an
offer
before
listing
on
the
public
on
public
markets.
Q
Next,
if
an
owner
receives
an
offer
from
a
qualified
non-profit
but
rejects
it
and
which
is
totally
under
the
control,
that's
fine
and
then
gets
an
offer
from
a
third
party
that
they
do
want
to
accept.
The
proposal
is
that
the
owner
contact
that
original
non-profit
one
more
time
to
see
if
the
nonprofit
wants
to
make
a
final
offer.
Q
So
a
lot
of
important
caveats
here
or
observations.
The
city
would
not
get
involved
in
the
terms
and
conditions
of
an
initial
offer
or
a
final
offer.
Owners
would
be
free
to
accept
or
reject
any
offer,
even
if
the
final
non-profit
offer
matched
what
they'd
gotten
in
the
open
market,
the
owner
does
not
have
to
accept
the
nonprofit's
offer
they
can
sell
to
whomever
they
like
and
the
conditions.
The
price
is
completely
up
to
them.
Q
The
only
requirement
under
this
program
would
be
for
the
owner
selling
the
property
to
go
through
the
process.
Next
slide
perfect.
This
is
a
pectoral
slide
which,
just
you
know,
further
describes.
The
process
that
I
just
went
through
the
program's
proposed
timelines
are
just
to
set
expectations
on
both
sides
of
a
transaction
with
a
letter
of
intent
period
That's
the
15
days
non-profits
would
have
to
issue
a
letter
of
intent
if
they're
interested
all
owners,
a
property
subject
to
this
program
would
go
through
this
step.
Q
Q
They
would
list
their
properties
and
Market
them
as
usual
for
the
10
percent
of
properties
that
might
receive
a
letter
of
intent,
they
would
go
to
the
Second
Step
the
offer
period
of
25
days
before
they
Market
openly.
The
owner
would
wait
to
receive
an
offer
within
25
days
to
buy
the
property,
and
then
they
can
choose
to
decline
or
accept
so
the
maximum
period
that
those
few
owners
would
have
to
wait
before
they
Market
the
property
openly
is
those
first
two
rows:
15
plus
25.
Q
the
owners
that
received
a
non-profit
offer
and
declined
it.
They
would
skip
down
to
the
last
Row
the
fourth
row
with
purple,
assuming
that
they
do
get
an
offer
in
the
open
market.
The
final
step
with
that
for
them
would
be
again
to
qualify
sorry
contact
the
original
nonprofit
that
made
an
offer
to
see
if
within
seven
days,
do
they
want
to
make
a
final
offer.
Q
It'd
be
completely
up
to
the
owner
again
whether
to
accept
the
offer
or
a
final
counter
going
back
to
the
third
row.
If
the
owner
received
an
offer
from
a
non-profit
that
they
like
and
they
decide
to
accept
it,
there
be
the
expectation
that
would
take
about
120
days,
but
this
step
is
if,
and
only
if
the
owner
chooses
that
path.
Q
Q
Q
Fourth,
partial
ownership
transfers
that
do
not
result
in
controlling
interest
of
the
property
fifth
single-family
homes
with
one
accessory
dwelling
unit.
And
finally,
we
created
a
medical
emergencies,
exemption
for
two
to
four
unit
properties
that
the
owner
must
sell
due
to
a
significant
and
documented
medical
expense
for
themselves
or
a
direct
family
member.
Q
So
all
of
these
all
of
these
properties
would
be
Exempted
and
again,
staff
estimates
that
maybe
10
percent
of
properties
would
qualify
for
exemptions,
so
how
many
properties
would
go
through
the
Copa
process?
We
estimate,
excuse
me
about
225
properties.
A
year
would
sell
and
then
need
to
follow
the
Copa
process.
Q
The
other
10
percent,
so
15
or
25
properties
might
receive
a
letter
of
intent
that
a
qnp
intends
to
make
an
offer
and
then
they
would
move
to
the
second
step
after
25
days.
They
would
get
an
offer
next
slide,
great.
So
going
on
to
the
qualified
non-profits,
the
city
would
approve
this
group
of
qualified
nonprofits
to
participate
in
the
program
and
make
reliable
and
fair
offers.
The
city
would
use
these
criteria
and
more
specifics
would
be
defined
in
program
regulations
that
we
would
create,
after
or
if
the
city
council
were
to
approve
the
program.
Q
Third,
the
city
would
certify
up
front
and
then
recertify
periodically
that
group
of
qualified
non-profits
if
nonprofits,
would
qualify
but
they're,
not
from
San
Jose.
We
would
also
ask
those
entities
to
team
with
a
local
community-based
organization
who
would
act
as
trusted
Partners
to
communicate
with
with
tenants,
and
this
could
also
help
those
Community
Partners
in
our
Market
to
increase
their
capacity
and
their
connections
with
their
local
residents
next
slide
so
tenant
engagement.
There
are
other
features
of
the
proposed
program
that
also
focus
on
tenants.
Q
Q
Q
So
our
proposal
for
the
effective
data
of
the
program
is
that
it
would
become
activated
at
the
later
of
12
months
after
the
ordinance
were
to
be
approved
by
the
council
or
when
four
tasks
for
the
program
are
completed,
so,
in
other
words,
the
program
would
not
turn
on.
Until
we
have
all
of
these
four
items
already
in
place,
we
want
to
make
sure
the
system
is
ready
to
go
and
that
the
necessary
ingredients
are
there
to
operate
on
day.
One.
Q
Third,
the
city
would
create
a
tool
on
its
website
through
which
property
owners
could
easily
notify
the
qualified,
nonprofits
and
the
city
that
they
intend
to
sell
their
property.
The
website
could
also
allow
the
qualified
nonprofits
to
quickly
indicate
their
interest
or
their
lack
of
interest
in
a
pro
in
a
property.
This
would
make
Communications
more
efficient,
avoid
inadvertent
errors
and
allow
City
staff
to
track
usage
of
the
program.
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
Next
slide,
we
are
almost
done
so
with
enforcement
and
incentives.
As
we
said,
staff
would
focus
on
education
of
property
owners
and
real
estate
professionals
and
tenants
to
make
sure
they
understood
what
the
program
was
and
how
to
comply
with
the
program,
because
only
through
compliance
can
the
city
achieve
its
objectives.
We
are
not
here
to
cause
issues
for
people.
We
just
want
to
have
some
more
affordable
housing,
we're
proposing
an
administrative
enforcement
framework
with
gradually
increasing
escalation.
Q
Program
staff
would
follow
up
on
complaints
that
were
would
be
filed
with
the
city,
and
the
ordinance
would
also
allow,
therefore,
for
third
parties
to
help
enforce
the
program.
So,
for
instance,
a
legal
services
provider
could
file
suit,
on
behalf
of
its
clients,
against
a
repeat
violator
that
knowingly
avoided
compliance.
Q
This
this
approach
is
consistent
with
just
having
one
staffer
to
administer
the
program,
there's
no
way
to
be
fully
proactive
on
all
the
transactions,
and
so
we'd
accept
complaints
and
allow
others
to
help
on
incentives
for
owners
to
sell
to
qualified
non-profits.
Well.
First,
1031
exchanges
were
brought
up
by
many
in
the
real
estate
business
and
we
would
require
qualified
non-profits
to
agree
to
several
things.
One
of
them
would
be
that
they
would
try
their
best
to
comply
and
work
with
any
kind
of
tax.
Q
Advantage
Property
sale
timeline
as
much
as
they
could
in
terms
of
incentives.
Staff
is
exploring
possible
incentives
for
the
reduction
of
City
fees
or
taxes
if
it
was
in
conjunction
with
a
sale
to
a
qualified
non-profit
through
this
program,
and
that
is
something
that
San
Francisco
did
in
their
program
and
they
think
it
was
very
effective.
Q
Q
Third,
the
city
in
general,
you
know,
needs
to
support
conversions
to
ownership
in
different
kinds
of
structures.
If
that's
what
we
want
more
of
in
the
market,
especially
for
low-income
residents,
very
low,
moderate
income
residents.
All
of
this
takes
very
intentional
City
Focus,
so
that
would
be
guided
by
consultant
feedback
that
would
build
on
the
memo.
Q
That's
already
in
the
attachments
and
and
creation
of
a
broader
City
strategy
on
home
ownership,
which
would
be
it's
also
by
the
way
included
in
the
draft
housing
element
for
the
next
cycle,
that
we
would
recreate
home
ownership
programs
in
kind
of
a
more
Equitable
framework,
and
then
we
would
be
further
defining
priorities
in
future
city
funding
availability.
So,
for
instance,
the
city
could
issue
a
notice
of
funding
that
just
focused
on
home
ownership.
Conversions,
if
that's
what
we
wanted
to
do.
Q
Finally,
Community
Land
trusts
are
another
form
of
common
ownership
that
the
community
could
benefit
from,
depending
on
the
structure
of
the
Community
Land
trusts
and
and
how
they
choose
to
benefit
their
residents,
and
they
are
certainly
eligible
for
participation
in
Coppa
if
they
have
the
requisite
experience.
Part
of
our
work
in
this
area
is
trying
to
figure
out.
How
can
we
help
more
local
non-profits
grow
capacity,
so
they
want
to
be
involved
in
this
preservation
work
with
us,
so
it's
Copa
the
funding
and
then
more
local
non-profits
that
have
skills.
P
I
just
want
to
recognize
again
the
amazing
engagement
that
we've
had
in
this
in
this
issue.
We
have,
you
know,
I,
think
you
can
see
here
today.
We
have
many
voices
that
are
passionate
about
this
issue
and
we
are
eager
to
hear
from
them
and
we're
eager
to
hear
from
you,
and
so
we
are
available
for
any
questions
that
you
have
and
I'm
just
eager
to
be
a
part
of
the
conversation.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.

Hi
this
is
Grace
with
the
clerk's
office
I'm
going
to
be
calling
down
five
names
at
a
time.
Please
wait
until
your
name
is
called
before
you
come
down.
The
first
person
down
can
immediately
go
to
the
lectern
to
speak
when
you
get
to
the
podium.
Please
first
state
your
name.
If
you
require
interpretation,
please
let
us
know
what
language
you
require
by
speaking
into
the
microphone.
E
B
F
U
Good
afternoon,
thank
you
for
the
housing
Department's
presentation.
My
concern
is
the
following
prior
to
establishing
the
program.
If
it's
or
it's
not
approved,
it
appears
that
the
city
council
needs
much
more
than
probable.
Maybe
funding
I
heard
five
million
dollars
as
a
minimal
investment
from
the
city
to
begin
the
project,
and
that
is
not
the
end.
In
addition,
I
don't
understand
how
we
can
come
to
the
place
where
we
have
a
accountability
on
the
tenancy.
U
So
I
think
these
two
issues,
whatever
the
decision
which
I
don't
think,
is
ready
to
be
even
reviewed
until
we
have
more
detailed
explanation
regarding
financing
and
regarding
the
accountability
process,
both
were
very
murky,
presented
and
were
subject
to
interpretation
and
understanding
so
I.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
V
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
seguitar
docoro
I
reside
in
District
10
and
own
rentals
in
District,
One
sellers
have
expressed
negativity
of
Copa
in
qmps
are
salivating
over
the
prospect
of
right
of
first
offer.
Housing
has
spent
many
hours
in
contracted
180
thousand
dollar
fee
to
develop.
Copa
City
loses
large
annual
revenue
from
tax
and
fee
exemption
in
perpetuity.
V
Speaking
for
myself,
I
do
not
object
to
selling
to
qnps
what
I
object
to
is
the
honors
bureaucratic
demand
forced
upon
the
sellers
and
Lewis
seeking
Elegance
through
Simplicity
housing
has
proposed
a
bureaucratic
nightmare.
Have
the
sellers
notify
housing
of
the
intent
to
sell,
so
housing
can
notify
qnps
qnps
can
make
offer
concurring
with
other
buyers,
whether
they
be
private
or
on
open
market,
since
it's
cheaper
to
buy
rather
than
build,
qnps
would
definitely
have
the
advantage
for
making
enticing
offers.
I
am
hoping
that
wisdom
prevails
over
emotional
activism
to
reject
Copa.
Thank
you.
W
It's
my
turn.
Okay,
my
name
is
Mona.
I
am
a
small
housing
provider
in
San.
Jose
I
am
strongly
opposed
Copa,
so
I
read
a
sign
in
behind,
says
Copa
Yuko
equality
by
the
way
that
Spelling's
wrong
the
Copa
is
not
equality.
It's
against
equality.
It
gives
special
interest
group
non-profit
organization
above
everyone
Beyond.
So
that
is
not
equality,
so
it
is
wrong.
The
second
I'm
trying
to
say
the
just

just

already
audited

W
E

Good
afternoon
my

David

Coppa
is
just

expensive.
Now
a

would
keep
the
problem
of
homelessness
in
intact.
Without
supporting
and
introducing
new
costs
in
this
program
now,
I'm
I
would
want
you
to
ask
send
ask
questions
about
costs,
specifically
what

I
if,
if
we
take

at
1.4

what
amount
will
the

the
purchase?

Okay,
dear
council
members,
my
name
is
lon
Bowie
when
I
came
to
San
Jose
41
years
ago.
I
did
all
kind
of
job,
including
picking
green
beans
in
the
field
and
working
at
the
flea
market,
while
going
to
college
and
I
work
hard
and
bought
a
duplex
in
San
Jose,
the
only
option
that
I
could
afford.
Then
I
live
in
one
side
for
10
years
and
then
I
bought
my
own
house
and
rented
out
my
duplex.
Z

Michael
Fitzgerald
District

in
1974
I
learned
at
least
two
things
in
real
estate
class
that
I
never
forgot,
location,
location
and
also
time
is
of
the
essence.
When
I
made
that
offer
on
my
first
little
condominium,
we
wrote
on
the
offer
sheet.
Time
is
of
the
essence.
This
offer
valid
for
three
days.
Only
the
seller,
seeing
improved
loan
had
a
bird
in
the
hand
and
quickly
accepted
I
was
locked
in
and
lucky
because
one
week
later
rates
went
from
eight
and
three
quarter
to
nine
and
a
quarter

I
would
have
been
sunk.

Then,
since

yesterday
that
meeting
in
median
home

for
the
last

fell

principally
because
of
rising

must
State
time
is
of
the
essence.
Buyer
must
show
proof
of

an
ability
to
close

that's
crucial
to
maintaining
the
sale
price
waiting
longer
for
a
non-profits
offer
as
much
as
120

more.

Hello,

We
are
opposed

Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Kevin
Dean
I'm,
a
landlord
and
real
estate
professional
in
San,
Jose
I,
just
want
to
say
Koba
is
a
bad
policy.
I
strongly
oppose
it
for
the
following
reasons:
kobal
is
not
necessary
and
it
is
a
waste
of
valuable
system.
The
city
Resource.
As
we
all
know,
the
real
estate
transaction
is
already
open
to
everybody,
including
non-profit
organization.
AF
If
NPO
works
hard
as
everybody
else,
they
will
know
whenever
our
property
is
for
sale
and
they
will
have
every
opportunity
to
make
competitive
offer.
There
is
no
reason
to
have
an
organization
to
sit
on
your
property
before
anybody
else
knows
copper.
We
speak
the
market,
research
and
limit
competitive
competition
because
it
does
not
allow
aging
to
do
any
pre-sale
talk,
copper,
not
only
give
NPO
first
move
Advantage.
It
will
potentially
limit
the
number
of
the
buyers
for
the
sale.
This
policy
will
effectively
Force
the
owner
to
sell
the
property
at
discount
and.
AH
Good
afternoon,
council
members,
my
name
is
Doug
Austin
I'm,
a
resident
of
district,
10
and
housing
provider.
Here
in
San
Jose,
we
currently
have
a
very
successful
process
in
place
for
corporate
non-profits
to
purchase
multi-unit
properties.
Since
2018
there
have
been
1
529,
residential
and
commercial
multi-union
property
listings
and
sounds
they
offered
through
the
MLS.
As
I
speak
to
you
right
now.
AH
There
are
40
multi-unit
property
listings,
totaling
218
units
available
for
sale
in
San
Jose
32
of
these
listings,
totaling
146
units
are
located
in
areas
determined
by
Copa,
San,
Jose
neighborhoods
undergoing
displacement
and
are
available
for
the
corporate
nonprofits
to
purchase
today
and
have
been
available
on
average
for
over
60
days,
the
1100
or
1011
multi-unit
sales,
since
2018
were
on
the
market
for
over
30
days,
445
listings
expired
or
canceled
because
nobody
bought
them.
There
are
ample
opportunities
for
the
corporate
nonprofits

One
minute
isn't
enough
time
to
talk
about
what
I
think
was
some
of
the
inaccuracies
in

So
I'm
going
to
spend
my
time
asking
you
to
consider
what
I
think
is
going
to
be
the
outcome
of
Copa
and
that
is
actual
rents
for
low-income
households.
Overall
will
go
up
why?
Because
this
policy
and
policies
like
this
is
going
to
drive
the
affordable
housing
providers.

not

Thank
you
committee

I
oppose
Copa
the
Copa
proposal
today,
I
speak
to
you
for
my
from
myself,
my
family,
my
employer,
a
local
developer
and
others
in
the
community
that
are
in
similar
position.
My

I
purchased
a

right
before
he
deployed
to
Iraq
with
his
unit
we
plan
to
build
equity
and
ensure
flexibility
for
our
retirement
years.
This
is
a
plan
we
share
with
a
lot
of
Californians.
Once
again,
property
rights
are
under
attack.
AL
The
government
often
attempts
to
take
private
property
on
the
theory
that
needs
that
the
needs
of
the
public
outweigh
the
rights
of
the
individual.
This
philosophy
is
at
odds
with
the
Constitution
which
is
designed
to
protect
the
rights
of
the
individual.
California
is
losing
record
high
Property
Owners
to
other
states
because
of
bad
policy
such
as
this
one.

Some
of
you
probably
heard
it
before
it's
about
these
babies
that
are
floating
down
the
river
and
people
are
jumping
in
the
river
and
trying
to
save
them
and
pulling
them
to
the
shore,
but
then
there's
more
babies
and
more
babies
and
they
set
up
swimming
teams
to
go
out
and
rescue
them,
and
they
don't
know
what
to
do.
And
finally,
somebody
says
let's
go
upstream
and
find
out
how
these
babies
are
ending
up
in
the
river
and
that's
what
Copa
does
for
us.
We
have
a
huge
homelessness
problem.

I
strongly
oppose
Copa.
The
city
has
the
good
intention
to
create
more
affordable
housing.
However,
copai
is
doing
exactly
the
opposite.
Coupon
not
only
create
zero
rental
units,
but
it
also
discourages
development
and
decreases.
Affordability.
AN
Copa
is
an
act
that
violates
Americans
free
market
rules.
It's
unfair
for
property
sellers
budget,
unfair
competitive
advantage
to
snap
up
properties
at
a
discount.
Copa
involves
loss
of
government
bureaucracy
and
create
a
lot
of
overheads
and
therefore
increases
rent,
which
is
really
bad
for
tenants.
Please
reject
Copa.

Yeah
good
afternoon,
honorable
council

my
name
is
Joseph
I'm,
a
real
estate
agent
I'm
here
to
tell
you
to
vote
no
on
Copa.
You
know
the
idea
is
that
it
takes
real
estate
agents
to
make
a
single
living
in
this
city
so
continue
to
do
regulations
that
affects
agents.
It's
not
the
right
way
to
go,
so
you
pull
some
people
down
and
you
pull
the
other
side
up.
So
you
want
to
balance
the
whole
equation.
AP
AQ
Good
afternoon
Chris
Logan,
Sacred,
Heart
Community
Service
I,
want
to
ask
a
question:
how
many
people
in
the
body
have
ever
seen
a
for
sale
sign
in
front
of
an
occupied
apartment?
Building
before
you
hurt
yourself,
let
me
help
you
chances
are
you
have
not?
And
if
you
have
you're,
probably
working
the
real
estate
market,
because
when
an
apartment
does
go
on
the
market,
it
is
sold
and
behind
the
scenes,
sweetheart
deals
between
real
estate
agents,
so
the
level
of
playing
field
that
I
keep
hearing
people
talk
about
does
not
exist.
AQ
Copa
is
the
least
we
can
do
to
give
fairness
and
transparency
to
the
non-profit
organizations
who
are
trying
to
preserve
housing
that
historically
has
been
affordable.
The
the
black
population
in
our
area
has
decreased
significantly
since
2020.
black
people
are
fleeing
this
area
because
we
are
not
treating
the
housing
crisis
as
a
crisis.
We
are
treating
it
as
a
nuisance.
It's
one
thing
to
say
black
lives
matter,
but
it's
another
thing
to
put
policies
in
place
that
will
keep
black
people
here.
I
want
to
urge
you
to
pass
Copa.
AR
Good
afternoon,
Copa
is
not
the
solution.
Thank
you.
So
much
Copa
is
not
the
solution,
but
it
is
a
pathway
to
a
more
just
and
accessible
housing
market
which
would
help
stop
the
displacement
of
those
who
truly
love.
San
Jose
money,
hungry
developers
that
buy
out
our
buildings
and
lands
to
raise
rent
prices
so
high
that
not
even
our
middle
class
can
afford
to
live
here
will
be
the
reason
San

will
continue
to
see
so
many
of
our
families,
leaving
because
San
Jose
is
really
being
designed
for
the
rich.
AR
AS
AS
So,
despite
all
the
facts
that
it
simply
does
not
work
in
other
communities
that
have
adopted
the
policy
well,
here
we
are
too
considering
jumping
on
board
cope,
approves
itself
to
be
unnecessary
and
if
enacted,
it
will
damage
or
destroy
the
lives

make
up

have
negotiated

there's
absolutely
no
need
for

concerns.
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
Sacred
Heart
Community,
Action,
Center
and
I
am
for
Copa,
because
I
believe
that,
having
a
comprehensive
ordinance
that
protects
people
not
just
establishing
this
false
hope
for
people,
you
know,
as
somebody
had
mentioned
before,
the
issue
of
homelessness
is
something
that
has
is
a
conversation.
AV
That's
been
going
on
for
many
years
and
I
think
that,
having
an
actual
step-by-step
process
to
help
these
people-
and
this
is
also
coming
from-
you-
know-
individuals
who
are
on
the
grounds
talking
to
these
people
every
day.
So
you
know
Realtors
and
and
people
who
own
these
houses
are
not
in
the
community
doing
the
work
that
we're
doing
listening
to
the
direct
concerns
of
people
who
are
struggling
with
displacement.

challenge
every

explain
why
they
won't
make
an
offer
on
any
of
those
properties
today,
if
they
do

disables
to
forcing
Copa
on

give

the

Stop
pushing
us
out

if
we
want
to
preserve

say
no
to
Copa

to
preserve

Coppa
is
a
fantasy.

little

small.

When

number

I
I
would
like
to
I
would
like
to
say
something
different
than
what
other
people
said.
So
we
should
find
the
root
cause
for
the
homelessness.
Is
it
education
or
is
it
laziness
or
what
it
is
actually
so
why
are
you?
Why
are
you
the?
Why
are
you
punishing
the
people
who
are
actually
working
and
putting
their
personal
money,
buying
the
property
and
paying
the
taxes
and
also
the
fees
and
also
the
business
tax?
BD
Why
are
you
punishing
them
instead
of
punishing
whoever
is
lazy
or
not
able
to
not
able
to
work
or
are
not
able
to
take
and
also
non-profit
organizations,
they
get
the
donations
from
others
and
let
them
let
them
compete
with
the
other
people?
What
is
the
problem
with
this
I?
Don't
understand
it's
a
common
sense,
why
they
don't
want
to
participate
in
the
competition
and
buy
the
property.
Let
them
offer
double
the
price
because
they
get
donations,
we
earn
money
and
we
buy.
We
bought
already
bought

price.

The
reason
why
housing
is
not
affordable
is
because
they
are
running
them
like
a
business,
not
like
what
it
is
housing.
People
like
me
have
to
work
two
to
three
jobs,
while
corporate
owners
just
take
our
money,
I
believe
Copa
will
love
our
most
vulnerable
communities
to
remain
in

Please

Here
with

Mayfair
I
have
called
San
Jose
my
home
for
the
last
32
years.
San
Jose
is
home
because
I've
seen
my
kids
grow
up
here
and
there
are
families
and
friends
that
I
Know
I
Can
Count
On
In
The

However,
with
the
uncertainty,
uncertainty
of
safe,
stable
and
affordable
housing,
I
have
seen
many
of
my
family

leave
San

Here
with
someone's
Mayfair
our
San
Jose
families
continue
to
be
pushed
out
of
their
communities.
The
housing
crisis
is
disproportionately
impacting
our
communities
of
color.
The
most
burden
renters
in
San
Jose,
are
black
and
Vietnamese
communities
with
Black
and
Hispanic
households
having
the
lowest
rates
of
homeownership
in
San,
Jose,
black
indigenous
and
inex
people
over
represent
the
city
homelessness
population.
BJ
Despite
making
up
about
30
percent
of
the
population,
San
Jose
is
also
ranked
number
one
highest
levels
of
Youth
homelessness.
Housing
represents.
Preservation
is
homelessness
prevention.
Our
families
cannot
wait.
We
need
solutions
that
address
the
housing
crisis.
Now.
Copa
is
a
big
step
in
the
right
direction.
The
time
is
now
to
be
bold
and
Innovative
and
help
us
keep
our
families
and
children
in
houses.

Hello,
council
members,
my
name
is
Maria
Aguero
I
am
a
from
District
Six
I
have
been
a
resident
of
District
checks
for
two
years,
I
used
to
be
in
District
Five
for
my
whole
life
and
unfortunately,
I
had
to
leave
because
I
could
not
afford
the
rent
and
I've
had
to
work
three
jobs
to
be
able
to
pay
rent
to
be
able
to
pay
for
a
car.
I've
had
to
my
wife
right
now
is
currently
working,
two
jobs
just
so
that
we
can
afford
to
stay
home.
BK
We
can
even
talk
about
children
because
we
can't
afford
to
even
pay
our
rents
and
sometimes
the
groceries,
so
it's
either
groceries,
rent
and
even
talking
about
children's
isn't
on
the
table,
because
we
can't
afford
stability
for
them.
I
have
heard
my
whole
life
as
an
organizer
from
people
who
are
living
in
a
one-bedroom
home
in
a
one
in
an
RV
because
they
can't
afford
rent
anywhere
and
it's
time
that
we
change
that
in
San.

Hello

oppose
Copa.
Well,
it
could
potentially
affect

business
as
an
industry
leader
and
servant
in
my
community
I'm
here
to
protect
the
rights
of
of
our
community.
Small
business
owners
in
Copa
will
affect
all
of
it,
so
I
believe
that
Copa
is
ineffective
and
very
costly
and
I
oppose
Copa.

All
right
good

I

oppose
Copa
Copa
Wireless,
the

It
deprives
the
homeowners
local
rights,
it
goes
against
the
principle
of
the
free
and
the
fair
market.
It
has
sacrificed
the

I
hear
this
data
about
our
condition
in

and
it's
amazing
to
see
the
lack
of

of
this

I
hope
all

can
represent
the

we
we
just
none.
We
don't
need
only
the
the
housing
problem
right
now.
There's
a
lot
of
other
issues.
That's
occurring
right
now,
but
I'm
asking
you
has
a
representative
of
our
community
who,
who
will
you
be
with
us
or
with
the
people

Hi,
my
name
is
Jim
Chen
I'm,
a
long-term
San,
Jose
resident
District,
10.
I,
want
to
say:
Copa
is
a
bad
policy,
you
know
you
add
bureaucracies
and
layers
to
property
transactions,
and
that
gives
special
interest
and
unfair
Advantage.
This
will
make
this
property
less
valuable,
but
it
does
not
help
the
displacement
issue,
because
the
very
rent
control
really
prevent
that.
It
forbid
that
and-
and
the
main
thing
is
not
even
that
there
are
plenty
of
laws
and
regulations.
On
top
of
that,
there's
State
and
San
Jose
rent
control.
AI
We
all
know
how
much
inflation
is.
You
know
my
insurance
bill.
My
my
utility
bill
went
up
much
more
than
five
percent.
Just
a
just
a
recent
example.
You
know:
I
have
a
property.
The
left
side
of
the
fence
went
out
three
years
ago:
I
got
repaired
for
35
dollars
per
per
feed.
This
Windstorm
took
down
the
rest,
I
got
another
quote:
52
dollars,
that's
15
in
in
three
years:
okay,
life
for
Mom
and
Pop.
Small
owner
is
already
hard
enough,
and
this
regulation
and
things
like
it.
AI
BO
It's
it's
free
market
supply
and
demanding
they
decide
to
hope
the
tenants,
but
it's
not
true.
If
someone
has
money
he
or
she
can
buy
the
house
in
the
market
anywhere.
Otherwise,
the
affordability
is
the
same,
no
difference
here,
most
of
the
tenants
most
they
don't
want
to
buy
the
house
they
rent.
They
have
some
disadvantage
to
buy
the
house
somewhere
else.
So
it's
black
to
each
other.
BO
Please
give
the
right
of
the
choice
for
both
sides
I'm
the
landlord
I'm
a
more
than
happy
to
save
a
house
to
my
attendant
I'm,
more
than
happy
to
do
so,
but
I
just
want
the
deals
between
me
and
the
tenants
now
that
now
that
you've
got
so
many
layers
layers
classes
process
is
cost.
It's
not
help.
Thank
you.
Please.
No
callback
want
to
sold
affordable.

Good
afternoon,
council
members,
my
name
is
Thomas
Peters
and
I've
owned
multi-unit
properties
in
District.
Three
Copa
is
costly,
inefficient
and
strips
rights
of
property
owners.
Earlier
it
was
mentioned
that
it
balances
the
interests
of
all
people
involved.
The
only
interest
it
balances
is,
it
enriches
the
qnps
by
complicating
the
process
and
skewing
it
in
their
favor,
which
really
hurts
the
mom
and
pops
and
discounts
their
property,
and
many
of
those
Mom
and
Pops
are
in
that
35
to
90k
income
threshold.
BP
BQ
BQ
G
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Lorena
Cortez
and
I'm
part
of
active
neighbors,
and
we
are
in
also
we
are
Mayfair.
I
am
a
resident
of
district
7
and
I
lived
in
San
Jose
for
30
years,
my
family
and
I
have
been
displaced
several
times
and
I've
had
to
suffer
together
with
my
family
that
this
place
the
displacement
from
our
homes
due
to
the
high
costs
that
we
have
had.
We
have
to
live
with
relatives
and
we
had
to
go
and
live
in
different
places
in
fine.
G
Finding
a
place
where
to
live
is
nearly
impossible
because
of
the
high
cost
of
rent
and
housing
is
nearly
impossible
to
find
it
is.
It
is
impossible
for
us
to
cover
our
needs.
My
concern
is
that
if
we
get
this
place
once
again,
we
will
not
be
able
to
have
a
finer
place.
All
my
family
was
already
all.
My
relatives
have
been
already
displaced
to
other
cities.
We
do
not
want
to
leave
San
Jose,
we
do
not
want
to
leave
or
community
of
many
years
where
our
children
were
raised
were
born
and
raised.
BR
BS
BS
G
G
I
am
a
resident
of
District
3
and
I
have
lived
in
San
Jose
for
40
years.
I
have
worked
all
these
years
here
in
San,
Jose
I
even
bought
a
house
in
1991,
but
unfortunately,
I
lost
my
house
in
2007
due
to
the
increase
of
the
high
increase
of
interest
there.
As
a
result
of
all
that,
I
fell
in
in
in
a
severe
state
of
stress.
I
got
sick
and
lost
my
job
since
then,
I
have
not
been
able
I've
been
having
trouble
with
housing.
G
At
this
moment,
I
live
in
a
mobile
home
park
in
a
mobile
home.
That
is
very
small,
because
I
have
no
other
options,
and
my
biggest
fear
is
that
we
will
get
this
place
from
this
park.
Since
lately,
we've
been
having
many
problems
and,
as
you
know,
there
are
not
many
options
or
access
to
affordable
housing.
Today,
I
am
requesting
that
you
support
Copa
Copa
is
a
law
that
will
preserve,
affordable
housing
and
will
give
stability
of
our
community
to
our
community
and
to
people
of
senior
citizens.
G
B
Before
we
proceed
proceed
with
more
public
comment,
this
is
really
an
important
subject.
Obviously
we
still
have
a
lot
of
people
here
who
would
like
to
speak
and
we
have
people
online
and
we
also
have
two
more
items
that
we
need
to
get
to.
So
what
I
would
request
is
that
my
fellow
committee
members,
that
someone
make
a
motion
to
defer
items
four
and
five
to
our
next
CED
meeting,
which
will
be
in
April.
Yes,.
B
E
BT
BT
So
because
the
issue
doesn't
care
about
time,
I
don't
see
why
the
city
should
I
mean
it's
just
it's
very
simple,
and
so
the
ability
for
the
public
to
exercise
their
constitutional
right
to
come
here
and
redress
their
grievances
to
the
government
does
not
have
a
time
limit
on
it.
There
is
no
constitutional
amendment
that
you
can
point
to
that
says
you
can
redress
your
grievances
to
your
government,
but
if
it
you
know,
if
it's
past
five
and
it's
dinner
time,
we
all
gotta
eat.
So
that
puts
your
First
Amendment
right
on
hold.

and
the
reason
why
I'm
here
is
in
support
of
Copa
you've
heard
numerous
testimonies
today
from
both
sides
and
I
just
want
to
address
the
fact
that
not
one
of
those
realtor
sides
really
touched
on
the
human
impact
of
this
policy.
I
think
that's
something.
CA
That's
really
important
to
understand
that
every
single
day
we're
being
displaced-
and
you
keep
on
the
fact
that
it
keeps
on
getting
pushed
back
even
more
only
adds
to
that
displacement
that
many
of
our
community
members
are
facing.
So
I
urge
you
I
strongly
urge
you
to
support
Copa
today
so
that
we
can
so
we
can
begin
this
process
of
you
know:
Finding
Equitable

Community
found

neighborhoods
I
grew
up
knowing
and
relying
on
my
neighbors.

wanted
to
be
involved
within

neighborhood,
their
schools
in
the
greater
City,
so
they
want
to
look
around

no

see

trust
and
willingness
to
invest

contribute
to

community.

San
Jose
continues
to
feel
less
and
less
at
home
as
more
families
are
unjustly
pushed
out
of
their
Community
as
families
continue
to
be
displaced.
It
is
increasingly
increasingly
discouraging
the
residents
of
someone
said
to
Envision
and
identify
a
San
Jose
as
their
long-term
Home
San
Jose
desperately
needs
and
enter
displacement
strategies
that
prioritizes
communities
over
profits.
Copa
is
one
of
those
strategies.
Our
families
cannot
wait
and
need
solutions
to
like
Copa.

At
this
moment,
the
moment
to
keep
San

house
and
invested
in
their
communities
is
now
our
areas

to
support

build
a

Copa
will
be
our
huge
step
to
addressing
this
issue
of
displacement,
as
the
gray
Cesar

says,
once

it's

it's

Okay,
it's
not

It's

invite
you
to
come
to
our

and
see
how
many

come
in

Okay
and
it's
set
to
see
the
greed
of
the
Realtors,

that's
pure

Good
afternoon,
members
of
the
committee,
my
name,
is
waskar
Castro
with
working
Partnerships.
Usa
I
want
to
speak
a
little
bit
to
the
process
that
took
place
in
forming
the
anti-displacement
plan
and
the
community
strategies
that
came
out
of
that.
Along
with
partner
organizations,
the
City
Community,
a
multi-year
engagement
process,
took
place
in
the
combining
displacement
in
neighborhoods
throughout
the
city.
Through
that
process.
A
key
finding
was
that
we
needed
to
move
forward
on
Solutions,
framed
and
tenant
protections
and
preservation.
We
as
a
city
must
be
intentional
about
moving
preservation
opportunities
forward.
CD
Stabilizing
our
neighborhoods
and
removing
units
of
the
speculative
Market
is
a
crucial
step
in
combating
displacement.
We
know
there
needs
to
be
robust
action
taken
towards
fully
building
out
the
city's
preservation
ecosystem,
but
Copa
serves
as
initial
opportunity
for
mission-driven
nonprofits
to
acquire
property
and
provide
permanent
affordability.

Hello,
everybody,
my
name
is
Vince
and
I
was
unfortunate
to
actually
experience
a
Copa
transaction
in
San
Francisco
and
without
going
to
details,
it
caused
a
lot
of
unnecessary
drama
problems
and
delays,
and
it
didn't
just
affect
my
buyers,
but
it
affect
the
sellers
which
are
small
family
owners,
and
these
families
are
like
most
people
because
most
of
the
properties
that
Copa
is
going
to
affect
are
for
these
small
families,
not
all
big
companies,
and
if
it
doesn't
work
for
SF.
How
would
it
work
for
here
and
here's
another
thing?

Good
afternoon
my
name

Victor
Vasquez
I'm,
a
homeowner
for
Copa
District
Seven.
It's
almost
Mayfair
September
22nd
2020
city
council
passed
all
10
recommendations
to
the
city-wide
anti-displacement
policy
10-1.
That
includes
Copa,
that
that
was
after
eight
after
2018
the
memo,
there
was
a
memo
by
the
council
as
well,
five
years
later,
we're
still
here,
and
we
have
no
Copa
no
action
on
this.
So
why
are
we
here
we're
here?
CG
Because
we
are
in
the
richest
one
of
the
richest
counties
in
the
nation,
but
Extreme
racial
inequality
in
our
housing
system,
who's
being
impacted?
That
is
us
that
is
brown
Asian
and
black
San
joseans,
who
are
burdened
by
the
rent
and
also
have
the
lowest
rates
of

Who
is
impacted
black
indigenous
people
who,
who
make
up
30
percent
of
our
who
make
up
the
largest
portion
of
a
homeless
population
who's
impacted
those
who
San

youth
who
are
homeless.

Hi
good
afternoon,
my
name
is
Tuan
and
I'm,
an
immigrant
before
I
learned
how
to
speak.
English
I
struggled
like
many
immigrants
here
and
I
want
to
be
a
voice
for
the
people
who
are
disadvantaged
and
often
marginalized.
Unlike
most
immigrants
here,
I
actually
read
the
topa
Copa
legal
language
that
was
introduced
in
Berkeley
in
Richmond
and
in
East
Palo
Alto
Copa
topa
existed
in
DC
for
40
years
and
it
didn't
spread
across
the
country
because
the
real
serious
problems
with
it
here
it
says:
Copa
es
Una,
promesa,
falsa,.
CH
CI
Hello,
Chris
Moore
release
the
legislation
these
people
in
the
community,
the
ones
up
here
in
the
back.
They
are
being
lied
to
by
the
not-for-profit
because
the
legislation
is
not
has
not
been
released.
Copa
is
a
false
promise
to
the
tenants.
Equity
does
not
grow
in
the
property.
This
is
why
Berkeley
tried
two
times
and
but
once
the
the
tenants
discovered
the
real
facts
in
the
legislation
that
is
when
they
shut
it
down,
because
it
is
unfair
to
tenants
it's
unfair
to
Property
Owners
as
well.
CI
In
the
end,
the
only
supporters
in
Berkeley
were
the
not-for-profits
with
their
high
paid
Executives
who
stand
the
profit
from
this
use
logic.
The
mom-and-pop
housing
provider
does
not
have
the
overhead
of
a
not-for-profit
provider.
They
provide
low-cost
housing
to
the
community,
release
the
complete
legislation,
so
we
can
see
what's
really
in
the
Copa
policy.
Also,

recommends
the
work
with

evening,
good
afternoon,
Council
I'm
Catherine
Hedges,
a
member
of
Shack
in
District,
three
and
I
have
earned
two
master's
degrees.
I
have
a
small
business,
so
I'm
going
to
say
well,
I'm
this
close
to
homelessness
except
I
have
affordable
housing.
That
also
means
I
have
time
to
show
up
here
on
my
people
working
three
jobs
to
pay
the
rent.
Everyone
at
the
city
knows
we
need
to
preserve
existing,
affordable
housing.
I.
Don't
understand
why
owners
object
to
selling
to
non-profits
Brokers
are
lying
to
small
landlords
to
preserve
their
commissions.
CJ
Landlords
Brokers
are
not
your
friends.
I've
heard
success
stories
about
the
South
Bay
Community,
Land
Trust,
purchasing
buildings,
the
last
minute
to
keep
tenants
in
their
homes.
Copa
just
gives
land
trust
that
chance
every
transaction,
no
matter
what
the
market
cycle
is
doing,
no
matter
what
the
ruler
Mill
is
doing,
vote
Yes
on
Copa
to
preserve
as
much
naturally
affording
housable
housing
in
San
Jose
as
possible
for
the
people
of
San

you

much.

Mm-Hmm
good
afternoon,
chair
Foley
vice
mayor
command,
council
members,
my
name
is
Anil
Babar
with
the
California
Apartment
Association
I'm
here
today
to
express
our
deep
opposition
to
this
ordinance
or
the
proposed
earnings
it
cope.
Is
a
policy
intended
to
preserve
housing.
However,
the
ends
do
not
justify
the
means
we
have
found
both
the
stated
need
and
the
justification
for
Copa
to
be
erroneous.
CK
If
you
look
at
the
policy
alleges
that
they're
trying
to
help
non-profits
compete
on
a
market,
that's
moving
too
fast
for
them,
but
an
analysis
showing
of
listed
property
show
that
over
176,
these
properties
had
five
or
more
units.
There
are
plenty
of
properties
on
the
market
and
the
average
time
to
a
bid
on
these
properties
was
76
days
76
days
to
make
an
offer
on
a
property.
CK
The
market
for
multi-families
properties
are
not
moving
too
fast
for
a
nonprofit
to
compete
in
dougoss
earlier
expressed
some
of
the
comments
on
Copa,
but
there
are
no
barriers
to
making
offers
on
these
properties
and
I
want
to
end
by
saying
this
is
more
about
Market
manipulation
than
making
any
changes
of
the
process.
Thank
you.

piling
all

observed

push

If

wants
to
preserve,
affordable

the

should
preserve

CN
Good
afternoon,
council
members,
my
name
is
Juan
I'm,
an
immigrant
first
Generations
I'm
opposed
Copa,
because
it's
pits
one
group
of
people
against
another
groups,
I'm
not
against
renters
I'm,
not
against
low-income
people.
I've
been
working
very
hard
since
I
immigrated
here
and
save
some
money
and
be
able
to
afford
some
properties
and
I
do
own
one
property
in
in
San
Jose.
CN
So
I'm
really
upset
that
my
rights
to
participate
in
the
transaction
open
markets
will
soon
be
deprived
because
of
Copa
just
because
you
have
a
public
issue
to
solve,
and
then
you
pick
on
us
trying
to
take
our
rights
away
and
make
our
life
hard
during
the
past
three
years
during
the
pandemic
time,
there's
a
lot
of
ordinances
in
many
cities
that
are
against
the
landlords,
the
Mom
and
Pops.
Let
me
landlords,
let
me
right
the
rent
control
thing.
Thank
you
run
eviction
stuff,
so
no
cold
part.
Thank
you.

hello,

the

I
love
the

because
the
Constitution
that
the
protect
our
right
to
sell
and
buy
a
house
with
a
fail
and
they
occur
competition
on
the
open
market.
The
correct
house
marking
is
open,
there's
a
fair
opportunity
and
the
field
competition,
Corporal
policy
enforce
and
the
restructures
right
or
fulfill
competition
and
the
open
market.
It's
now
the
fair
to
anyone
who
wanted
to
buy
and
sell
house
on
the
open
market.
E
CP
Go
ahead:
hi,
my
name
is
Julie
Sim
yeah
copra
Copa
treats
Property
Owners
differently.
Copa
gives
the
tenants
and
non-profits
organizations
advantages
over
other
buyers.
Copper
is
punishing
the
Moms
and
Pops
landlords
by
forcing
them
to
sell
without
letting
the
open
markets
determines
the
properties
markets
value.
CP
If
tenants
or
non-profit
organizations
are
paying
the
market
price
for
any
properties,
then
copper
is
not
needed.
Properties
owners
are
happy
to
sell
to
any
buyers
and
market
value
right.
I
have
no
problem
selling
to
my
tenants
or
any
non-profit
organizations
with
Copa
I.
Think
Mom
and
Pop's
landlords
are
being
subjects
to
a
different
set
of
rules
and
regulations.
Thank
you.
They
are
being
sacrificed
to
force
to
serve
the
city's
house.

born

raised

raised,
my
kids
started
a
business
and
I'm
all
in

San
Jose.
That
being
said,
I'm
looking
at
the
four
stated
goals
of
Copa
number
one
prevent
displacement
of
lower
income.
Renters,
that's
false!
Why
is
that
false?
Because
today,
if
you're
in
a
low-income
property,
you
have
Copa
I'm,
sorry,
you
have
Aro
TPO
and
the
eviction
moratorium,
laws
that
protect
them,
so
that
lady
that
got
evicted
three
times
that
wouldn't
have
happened
if
she
was
in
one
of
those
units.
CR
The
other
stated
goal
is
to
grow
the
amount
of
permanent,
affordable
housing.
How
can
you
grow
it
when
you're
buying
existing,
affordable
housing?
There
is
no
growth
there.
It's
zero!
That's
what
we
need,
though,
that's
where
we
need
to
spend
the
time.
That's
how
we're
going
to
move
the
needle
is.
We
need
more
housing,
other
goals
here,
Empower
tenants.
How
are
you
going
to
empower
tenants
when
you're
telling
them
that
you're
going
to
sell
the
last
point?

know
we
have
a
lot
of
vulture
tenants
and
we
work
really
hard
to
raise
money
to
build

build
Espina
units,
and
with
that,
with
this,
a

think
it's
going
to
spread

money,

Let
me
start
off
with
saying:
Copa
is
not
needed.
I
have
not
seen
any
data
that
supports
the
premise
the
corporate
nonprofits
failure
to
acquire
properties
is
because
of
lack
of
access.
CV
You
would
have
to
believe
that
resources
like
MLS
listings,
co-stars,
loopnet
and
Zillow,
are
all
lacking,
and
if
you
believe
that,
then
I
might
suggest
that
the
city
use
its
own
rent
registry
to
provide
corporate
nonprofits
with
a
profile
of
all
the
properties
that
fit
their
desired
location,
size
and
tenant
profile,
and
let
them
do
their
own
prospecting
to
address
concerns
of
displacement.
It's
far
more
effective
to
give
tenants
supplemental
relief
through
vouchers
today
Copa
is
not
needed.
The
ordinance
is
built
on
the
flawed
understanding
of
how
the
market
works
and
empty
promises.
CV
CW
The
intentional
investment
of
this
leaderful
movement
is
built
on
the
premise
that
our
current
Paradigm
has
failed
us
gentrification
displacement,
greed,
speculation
or
failure
to
honor
housing
as
a
basic
human
right
has
led
to
a
sustained
rupture

remain

there

a
fine

that

Thank
you,
I'm
Roberta
Moore,
with
d10
as
the
d10
rep
on
the
Housing
Commission
I've
read
the
versions
carefully,
since
they
were
first
introduced
four
years
ago.
If
Copa
really
worked,
I
would
stand
here
for
it.
I
want
to
address
displacement
and
equity
and
I
hope.
I
have
time.
Non-Profits
don't
need
Copa
to
buy
the
funding's
there.
They
need
Copa
to
bypass
the
Aro
protections,
so
they
can
evict
renters,
raise
rents
and
avoid
property
taxes
read
the
fine
print.
This
will
not
stop
displacement
at
the
hcdc.
CY
I
made
a
motion
to
require
50
of
the
units
for
for
renters
to
buy
for
real
equity.
The
housing
department
said:
Copa
cannot
help
renters
buy,
however,
mayor
Gonzalez
built
10
000
units
for
renters
to
buy
and
created
real
equity,
so
pay
attention
to
the
language.
If
you
care
about
displacement
and
Equity,
this
is
not
the
way
to
do
it.

rights
as
a
property
owner
and
take
more
control
of
its
residents,
taking
from
Peter
to
give
to
Paul
should
not
be
a
real
solution
that
the
city
is
considering,
because
this
hurts
both
of
them.
CZ
What
my
fellow
San,
Jose
residents
in
support
of
Copa
may
not
realize
or
may
have
forgotten,
is
that
with
more
government
control
the
less
freedoms
you
will
have,
and
when
you
hear
language
like
we
will
allow
that
is
control.
Please
don't
look
to
the
government
to
be
the
solution.
Heading
in
this
direction
will
only
lead
us
to
a
state
in
which,
in
the
words
of
the
speaker
of
a
speaker
at
the
world
economic
forum,
we
will
all
owe
nothing
and
be
happy.
DA
Good
afternoon,
non-profits
can
give
funding
and
buy
property
with
or
without
Copa
Copa
itself
is
about
taking
away
people's
rights.
Copa
puts
unwarranted
restrictions
on
what
should
be
basic
free
speech
and
property
rights
if
I
run
afoul
of
copa's
web
of
constraints,
here's
a
list
of
normal
activities
that
would
be
forbidden,
I,
put
up
a
for
sale,
sign
or
coming
soon
sign.
That's
illegal
I,
bring
a
potential
buyer
to
my
property.
That's
banned,
I
talk
with
a
potential
buyer
and
receive
an
offer.
DA
That's
censored,
I'm
doing
a
1031
into
San
Jose
and
my
realtor
writes
an
offer
on
a
property
that
I
found.
That's
banished.
Copa
is
wrong
and
unnecessary.
Copa's
regulations
are
basically
a
handbook
of
prohibited
speech
that
has
no
place
in
San
Jose
government
San
Jose
should
not
create
a
law
that
silences
people
and
restricts
them
from
negotiating
and
interacting
with
other
people,
stop
Copa.
Now.
DA
E
DB
BL
DC
We
have
the
home,
I
mean
the
shortage
across
the
the
state,
but
Copa
is
not
an
answer.
It's
my
reason
is
non-profit.
It
needs
money
to
pay
for
staff,
overheads,
administrative
fees
and
more.
This
money
must
come
from
somewhere.
In
this
case
it
is
both
the
landlords
and
the
tenants
Copa
is
likely
to
lead
to
a
non-profit
speculating
on
the
real
estate
and
using
them
to
pay
for
their
administrative
cost
rather
than
helping
the
community.
So
where
is
the
oversight
for
this
nonprofits?
DC
How
can
we
be
sure,
and
they
are
run
fairly
and
cleanly,
so
any
non-profit,
no
matter
how
well
introduced,
can
become
inefficient
and
corrupt.
If
given
unfair
advantage
to
buy
and
sell
houses
compared
to
Mom
and
Pop
buyers,
so-called
non-profit
can
become
a
big
fat
cat
and
to
be
a
profiting.
So
my
please,
no
Copa
pafala
perfala
Singh
Copa,
no
Copa.
Please.
DD
DD
Complex
person,
my
money,
it's
better
for
me
to
save
that
money
and
put
and
save
it
and
be
able
to
put
that
into
a
down
payment
on
a
home
rather
than
having
to
pay
these
absurd
prices
that
the
real
estate
market
love
to
suggest
that
it's
okay,
it's
not
okay.
If
it
was,
if
the
system
was
not
broken,
there
wouldn't
be
any
homeless
people
does
that
make
sense.
DD
If
the
system
was
not
broken,
we
would
have.
We
wouldn't
be
having
this
conversation
to
begin
with,
we
wouldn't
be
talking
about
rent
control.
There
is
an
issue
here
and
Copa
is
a
step
forward.
Solutions
happen
in
dialogue.
Conversations
there's
been
moments
where
City
city
has
hold
meetings
for
them
to
have
espressos
and
find
solutions
that
benefit
Community.
Yes
to
Copa.
We
need
that.
We
need
Solutions.

Vice
America
May.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
today,
there's
so
much
to
say
and
so
little
time,
but
I
think
I'm
going
to
try
to
focus
on
something
that
hasn't
yet
really
been
touched
on
a
lot.
Despite
the
fact
that
I
think
the
fact
that
it's
unnecessary
is
number
one
it
is,
it
is
not
necessary.
There
has
been
no
proof.
DE
There
is
no
proof,
because
it
is
not
necessary,
but
I
think
and
that's
why
both
Matt
Mahan
and
City
Chavez
both
opposed
it,
because
this
is
not
necessary.
There
is
no
problem.
I
think
my
biggest
concern,
however,
is
that
70
of
your
affordable
rental
housing
comes
from
your
mom
and
pops.
Those
people
that
were
here
today
most
of
those
people
were
Mom
and
Pops
that
came
to
demonstrate
their
opposition
to
this.
What
is
this
city
saying
to
the
Mom
and
Pops
if
they're,
letting
the
non-profit
corporations
jump
in
line?
DE
DF
Good
evening
my
name
is
Carlos
Padilla
and
I
want
to
thank
the
committee
members
and
housing
department,
attendees
and
as
such
for
their
time
as
this
is
an
extremely
important
topic.
Can
I.
Please
ask
the
audience
for
how
many
of
you
actually
work
for
or
represented
non-profit.
Could
you
please
raise
your
hand
if
you
great?
DF
If
you
work
for
a
non-profit
or
representative
non-profit,
please
raise
your
hand
and
the
reason
I
ask
is
because
I'd,
like
the
committee
and
the
housing
department
to
know
who
will
benefit
if
Copa
passes,
and
my
question
is
why
this
does
not
benefit
our
tenants.
I've
been
a
tenant
for
years
and
now
I'm
a
property
owner.
This
is
a
power
grab
by
non-profits
that
are
manipulating
our
housing
department.
And
if
you
read
the
news
recently,
what
happens
to
many
non-profits?
DF
Well,
they
start
off
as
non-profits
open,
open
IO
chat,
GPT
collected
millions
of
dollars
for
their
from
their
donors
and
then
are
now
basically
a
for-profit
company
owned
by
Microsoft,
and
this
is
similar
to
what's
going
to
happen
here
and
guess
what
nonprofits
will
also
benefit
because
they
no
longer
have
to
pay
taxes
under
the
the
plan
that
the
housing
department
has.
This
is
a
great
deal
for
non-profits
getting
properties
into
the
non-profit.
Thank
you.

DG
It
what
did
I
do
go
ahead.
Oh
okay,
good
afternoon,
council
members,
my
name
is
Carlos
Jr
and
I'm,
a
resident
of
District
4..
My
message
is
clear:
please
pass
Copa
it's
a
son
of
two
domestic
workers.
We
need
Coppa
to
pass
in
order
for
us
to
stay
in
San
Jose.
However,
we
aren't
the
only
ones
old,
but
all
working
class
families
need
Copa
to
continue
residing
in
San
Jose.
How
many
working-class
families
are
struggling?
How
many
are
fearing
ending
up
in
the
streets?
DG
DG
Please
listen
to
us
working
class
families
who
are
struggling
and
to
make
ends,
meet
and
fighting
to
stay
in
San
Jose,
and
not
those
and
not
to
those
that
wish
to
only
fill
their
pockets
and
cry
wolf
about
their
struggles,
because
I
bet
you
anything,
they
are
not
struggling
working
class
families
are
and
they
need
your
support.
Please
side
with
us.
Thank
you.

DH
Thank
you,
council
members.
Thank
you
for
your
time
to
listen
to
us.
My

Shashi
Modi
I'm,
an
immigrant
from
India
Mr
batra,
can
understand
that
very
well
and
I'm
totally
against
the
you
know,
Copa.
As
far
as
I'm
concerned,
Kopi
stands
for
completely
out
of
public
agenda
and
as
far
as
I'm
concerned,
it's
violating
my
rights
as
a
taxpayers
as
a
American
citizen
and
what
is
the
definition
of
free
enterprise
system?
DH
If
you
can
come
and
tell
me
whom
I
can
sell
my
property
when
I
can
sell,
then
that
is
difference
the
whole
purpose
of
free
enterprise
system
when
I
was
buying
the
property,
nobody
came
and
told
me
you
have
to
buy
from
non-profit
organization.
You
have
to
buy
for
this
specific
nothing.
But
now
the
regulation
comes
in
the
picture.
I
don't
understand
their
logic
at
all.
Also
in
2008,
when
the
property
value
were
totally
collapsed,
we
had
to
work
three
jobs
to
keep
the
shelter
and
nobody
just
to
make
sure
that
house
doesn't
go
foreclosure.
DH
B
DI
Go
ahead
before
I
start
I
just
want
to
say,
I'm
really
proud
of
my
community.
My
name
is
little
Hernandez
with
the
South
Bay
Community
Land
Trust.
The
mission
of
South
aclt
is
to
ensure
that
our
most
vulnerable
residents
are
protected
and
that
communist
ability
is
secured.
We
aim
to
prevent
the
displacement
of
low-income
communities
and
people
of
color
by
investing
in
Residence,
livelihoods,
neighborhoods
and
culture.
We
just
recently
closed
escrow
on
our
first
property
in
Downtown
San
Jose,
on
February
1st.
DI
We
experienced
some
bumps
along
the
way,
but
we
were
able
to
purchase
a
property
at
market
rate
value
with
the
support
of
a
bridge
loan
and
Grassroots.
Fundraising
Copa
would
give
tenants
and
qualify
non-profit
organizations
critical
time
and
flexibility
to
put
together
the
financing.
They
need
to
make
a
fair,
fair
market
offer.
Council
members.
It
is
also
up
to
you
to
invest
along
terms
to
invest
into
long-term
Solutions
or
permanent,
affordable
housing
and
keep
families
in
San

Working
Families
are
worth
every
one
of
your
votes.

you.

Good
afternoon,
council
members,
my
name
is
Andrea
Portillo
and
I'm,
a
district
7
resident
and
I'm.
Also
here
with
Sonos
Mayfair
in
my
community,
our
San
Jose
families
are
being
pushed
out
of
their
communities.
You've
heard
that
over
and
over
again
today,
these
are
students,
families,
teachers
and
essential
workers
that
keep
the
city
running
families
that
have
called
this
city
home
for
Generations.
They
all
deserve
to
stay.
Copa
is
an
affordable
housing
preservation
policy
and
it's
an
important
building
block
in
San
Jose's,
broader
strategy
to
address
the
housing
crisis.
DJ
It
is
not
going
to
solve
the
crisis,
it
is
not,
but
to
step
in
the
right
direction.
It's
an
opportunity
to
prevent
displacement
for
our
communities,
to
stabilize
housing
and,
more
importantly,
increase
the
city's
housing
stock.
We
know
we're
not
building
enough
affordable
housing
to
meet
the
need,
supply
and
demand,
we're
not
building
enough
affordable
housing
to
meet
the
need
for
the
number
of
folks
in
our
communities
who
need
that
housing
policies
in
DC
have
been
able
to
preserve
preserve
over
2
000
units.
Thank
you,
San
Francisco,
over
200
units
policies
like
this
work.
DJ

AJ
My
name
is
John
Worthing
and
the
presentation
by
the
housing
department
referenced
a
county-wide
survey
which
doesn't
apply
to
San
Jose
and
they
also
mix
rent
control
units
with
non-rent
control
units
and
establishing
rents.
There
is
a
rent
registry
in
the
city
of
San
Jose,
that
is
a
wealth
of
information
for
you
and
I
demand
that
you
study
that
that
you
get
information
from
them
from
the
rent
registry
that
we
owners
are
paying
for
to
own
and
operate
their
department,
so
they
don't
use
generalities
use
the

registry.

Good
afternoon
committee,
my
name
is
Tao
Lee
and
I
am
a
D4
resident
I'm.
Also
one
of
the
organizing
co-directors
of
the
South
Bay
Community
Land
Trust,
our
land
trust
is
a
non-profit
that
shares
a
similar
goal
to
this
Committee
of
creating
and
preserving
housing
and
healthy
neighborhoods.
This
past
February
we
closed
on
our
first
property,
a
price,
the
market
price
of
1.6
million
dollars
for
a
four
unit,
building
in
Downtown
San
Jose,
that
is
home
to
Veterans,
formerly
homeless
and
disabled
people
of
color.
DK
We're
so
excited
for
these
folks
to
remain
housed
and
having
opportunity
to
build
together
in
the
future.
In
fact,
one
of
them
became
our
board
members.
That's
the
kind
of
opportunity
that
qnps
would
provide
and
you're
probably
wondering
if
we
were
able
to
do
this
without
Coppa.
Why
do
we
need
Copa?
Well
from
the
time
we
id'd
the
property
to
when
we
closed
escrow?
It
took
two
years
and
it
is
our
first
property,
and
we
expect
our
next
one
to
be
a
lot
faster.
DL
DL
I'm,
a
duplex
owner
in
San,
Jose
and
I'm
against
a
Copa
I
believe
this
Copa
discriminate
housing
providers.
Why
don't
you
pass
a
bill
that
no
one
can
sell
their
home
in
the
open
market,
but
only
to
non-profit
organization,
because
you
can't
it
is
not
fair,
just
picking
on
housing
provider
to
do
that
and
you?
If
you
want
to
help
tenants
to
buy
properties,
then
you
buy
it
on
Open
Market
and
give
benefit
to
the
renters.
DL
E
DM
Somebody
earlier
at
the
beginning,
criticized
Copa
advocates
for
practicing
emotional
activism,
which
I
think
they're
telling
on
themselves
with
that
honestly,
because
yet
this
is
a
personal
issue
to
us,
it's
very
personal,
we're
getting
displaced
and
struggling
to
survive
in
the
city.
We
love
for
the
opposition.
Mostly.
What
I've
heard
today
is
that
this
is
about
profits.
DM
Most
of
us
that
are
for
Copa
are
not
trained
activists
we're
here
taking
action
because
we
can't
afford
not
to,
and
yet
even
though
we're
not
all
trained
activists
I'm
positive,
we
have
done
our
homework
and
studied
this
policy
way
more
than
the
opposition
we
have
been
in
all
of
the
community
forums.
There's
been
tons,
dozens
of
them
in
multiple
languages.
The
city
has
really
offered
those,
and
our
community
has
showed
up.

In
fact,
Coppa
discourages
investment
here
in
San,
Jose
and
I'm
racking
my
brain
trying
to
figure
out
why
the
council
would
want
to
discourage
investment
here
in
this
city.
What
is
the
purpose?
Corporate
non-profits
are
not
experiencing
any
problems
purchasing
property.
There
is
no
need
for
Copa.
Please
vote.
No.
Thank
you.
DP
Good
afternoon,
chair,
chair
fully
and
and
council
members,
there
is
no
question
that
we
have
a
housing
crisis
and
need
in
this
Valley
and
I.
Don't
think
anyone
in
this
room
will
dispute
that
with
housing,
affordability
but
I'm
here
to
tell
you
that
Coppa
is
not
the
answer.
We've
heard
from
many
of
our
problems
with
about
Copa
today,
but
the
one
of
the
the
issues
is:
is
access
for
these
non-profits,
which
quite
honestly
doesn't
exist.
DP
In
fact,
during
the
public
Copa
meetings
run
by
the
housing
department,
the
question
was
asked
if
nonprofits
ever
had
experienced
any
problems
purchasing
the
properties-
and
the
answer
was
no
and
the
the
we
had
a
gentleman
earlier
who
gave
you,
statistics
on
actual
properties
for
sale
currently
on
the
market
that
are
available
and
those
do
exist.
Yes,
there's
an
understanding
that
there's
a
timing
issue
potentially
for
these
non-profits,
but
I
I
really
can
say
if
these
properties
were
in
the
open
market.
There's
no
question
that
a
potential
seller
would
be
willing.

city.
The
children
and
our
communities
deserve
stable
homes.
Our
families
cannot
wait.
Please
do
not
turn
your
back
to
the
future
of
this
city.
San
Jose
residents
and
our
families
deserve
better
Copa
for
San
Jose.

You
hello,
my
name
is
miaville
and
I'm
with
the
African
American
community
service
agency
and
I
want
to
acknowledge
some
things.
I've
heard
today,
one
was
to
talk
of
vouchers
and
other
options
of
that
sort.
But
what
about
those
of
us
who
don't,
who
do
not
qualify
for
affordable
housing
are
also
cannot
be
approved
for
rent
in
non-low-income
apartments.
DR
We're
in
that
weird
in
between
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
that
some
homeowners
here
have
said
to
the
that
they
filled
the
struggle
as
well
saying
that
they
also
made
between
the
thirty
five
thousand
to
90k
income
bracket.
The
cost
of
living
crisis
affecting
us
all,
with
both
renters
and
homeowners,
in
California
spending,
30
percent
or
more
of
their
income
on
housing,
and
something
has
to
give
those
of
us
who
support.
Copa
are
also
trying
to
achieve
the
quote-unquote
American
dream.

Good
afternoon,
council
members,
my
name
is
Matt
I'm,
a
San
Jose
resident
of
District
three
I'm,
a
father
I'm,
a
homeowner
and
I
have
a
master's
in
urban
planning
from
San
Jose
State
University
I
strongly
support
Coppa
a
report
from
Enterprise
Community
Partners
shows
that
between
2012
and
2017
of
the
80
000,
so-called
naturally
occurring
or
vulnerable
homes
in
the
county
of
Santa
Clara
40,
000
of
them
were
lost.
That's
half
of

in

You
all
are
accountable
to
the
mothers
and
the
children
and
the
friends
and
the
neighbors
and
the
essential
workers
of
the
city
and
the
reason
why
they
suffer
so
much
is
that
it's
profitable
to
displace
tenants
and
to
ignore
their
needs
and
the
system
allows
it
it's
time
for
an
intervention.
So
please
join
your
hcdc
and
the
thousands
of
residents
and
chorus
of
community
serving
non-profits
of
this
city
in
support
of
Copa.
Thank
you.

Hi
there,
my
name
is
Tamara
Sanchez
and
while
many
individuals
feel
that
something
like
Copa
doesn't
make
sense,
I
used
to
work
and
manage
an
affordable
housing
property
that
was
started
in
1971
that
it's,
your
initial
Copa
it's
and
it
was
funded
through
the
housing
and
under
Britain
development
department.
And
it's
how
we
start
that
during
our
initial
problems
and
solving
issues
in
that
property
still
sits
over
here
in
the
east
side.

Hello
good
afternoon,
my
name
is
Maria
Padilla
and
I
am
an
owner
of
Apartments
here
in
San,
Jose
and
I
want
to
tell
you
that
over
the
years
I've
been
treating
my
renters
with
dignity
and
respect
I've
been
providing
good
housing
for
them.
I
do
not
understand
why
Copa
is
imposing
these
rules,
and
this
will
only
increase
problems
for
the
renters.
It
will
increase
paperwork
that
they
do
not
understand.
I
believe
that
we
all
should
be
treated
and
treat
others
with
respect
and
love.

My

I

it's
a
small

owner.
Imagine
that
we
are
all
in
school
for
the
final
I
worked
very
hard
and
want
to
be
the
number
one.
My
teacher
takes
my
answer
sheet
and
give
it
to
another
student
and
even
give
the
student
extra
time.
What
do
we
call
this?
It's
cheating
and
it's
systematic
cheating
is
exactly
what
Copa
is
about
systematic
cheating,
Copa
that
the
special

non-profit

Good
afternoon
City
Council
Members,
my
name
is
Liz
Salas,
a
former
member
of
District
7.
I'm,
here
with
somos
Mayfair,
but
I'm
here
as
a
community
member
as
a
mother,
because
I
have
personally
experienced
the
negative
effects
of
displacement
in
a
family
and
now
I
belong
to
district
B
in
Morgan
Hill.
For
over
20
years,
I
was
able
to
call
San
Jose
my
home.
DW
It's
unfair
that
we
still
have
to
fight
to
prevent
families
from
being
pushed
out
due
to
increased
cost
of
living,
unlawful
evictions
displacement
and
a
general
lack
of
access
to
affordable
housing
options
that
lead
to
long-term
ownership.
My
family
and
our
community
deserve
affordable
housing,
and
this
is
why
we
need
Copa
I
urge
you
to
keep
San
Jose
residents
and
stand
with
Copa.
Thank
you.

Foreign
hi,

Claire
I'm
with
Sacred
Heart,
Community,
Service
and
La
Mesa
Verde,
which
is
an
urban
gardening
food
Access
program,
I'd
like
to
first
thank
the
housing
department
for
their
thoughtful
proposal
that
was
brought
before
us
and
the
many
years
in
research
that
you
have
put
into
this
proposal.
It's
frankly,
I
think
ridiculous
for
multiple
property
owners,
whether
they
be
Mom
and
Pops,
or
big
Property
Owners
property
Brokers.
DX
To
argue
that
this
is
a
method
for
non-profits
to
build
wealth
when
they
are
clearly
more
concerned
about
maintaining
their
profits
over
the
clear
and
demonstrated
need
for
affordable
housing
in
this
city.
This
is
an
essential
step
towards
addressing
the
housing
crisis
in
San.
Jose
I
urge
you
all
to
please
say
yes
to
Copa.
Thank
you.

Hello
good
afternoon,
my
name
is
Karina
Gallardo
and
I'm
here
because
I'm
I'm
happy
to
say
that
I
support
Copa.
Thank
you
so
much
for
bringing
it
to
to
us,
because
it's
an
opportunity
for
everyone
for
the
community
who
is
in
this
Advantage
I,
think
thankful.
I'm
thankful
that
I
was
able
to
buy
because
of
the
County's
support.

Your
choice
to
oppose
culpa
is
your
systematic
support
of
racist
choice
and
using
your
power
and
authority
and
your
role
to
continue
to
oppress
and
push
our
hard-working
families
out.
They
are
the
ones
who
clean
your
chamber
rooms
and
ensure
your
coffee
is
hot,
the
Uber
driver
door,
Dash
driver
or
Shoppers
that
risk
their
lives
to
keep
you
safe
at
home.
While
the
pandemic
I
am
the
director
of
my
organization
while
at
work.
My
child
is
babysat
by
a
neighbor.
I
cannot
afford
quality
care.
DZ
I
stand
in
line
twice
a
month
to
receive
a
box
of
food.
For
my
family,
I
am
a
gap.
Family
they're
too
rich
to
poor,
struggling
to
pay.
Rent
I
am
privileged
enough
to
live
on
my
own,
with
my
family,
oftentimes
I.
Think
of
having
others
come
in.
I
cannot
afford,
afford
to
purchase
a
home,
not
not
because
I
am
lazy,
but
because
of
gentrification
and
the
high
cost.
Once
again,
your
vote
against
Coppa
is
a
clear
public
demonstration
of
your
systematic
bracelet
support.
Thank
you.
EA
Yes,
my
name
is
Joseph
Weinstein
and
we
all
recognize
there
is
a
housing
problem.
I
and
my
family
are
Property
Owners.
We
have
one
seven
unit
apartment
for
sale
right
now
with
a
3.2
cap
rate,
which
means
we
are
at
affordable
housing
unit
and
we
have
been
since
1985..
Not
one
non-profit
has
approached
us
in
the
1.5
years
that
have
been
watching
San
Jose,
whether
to
choose
to
invest
in
this
city.
I
have
not
heard
one
data
point
from
your
housing
department.
EA
BM
EB
Yes,
my
name
is
ladko
and
I
strongly
oppose
Copa
I
myself
grew
up
in
a
working
class
immigrant
family.
We
were
able
to
afford
a
house
because
it
had
two
units
we
rented
out
the
second
unit
and
the
basement
to
help
pay
the
mortgage.
My
all
my
family
also
ran
three
small
apartment
buildings
with
affordable
apartments
rented
to
working
class.
EB
We
were
able
to
run
it
efficiently
as
a
small
family.
Business
culpa
will
jeopardize
the
future
of
families
like
mine.
It
will
not
help
the
poorest
residents
as
it
favors
special
interest,
while
the
program
is
designed
to
keep
people
in
poverty
in
perpetuity.
I
live
in
East,
San
Jose,
where
small
businesses
have
suffered
tremendously
in
the
past
three
years.
Why
don't
you
offer
those
loans
to
small
business
landlords
instead
of
out
of
town
special
interest?
Thank
you.
EC
That
would
be
much
faster
than
going
through
the
other
method,
the
other
one
is
Administrative
cost
of
maintaining
Copa,
and
also
you
presented
Copa
for
owners
to
reject.
In
that
case,
why
not
put
on
the
open
market
I'm?
Also
thinking
that
it's
going
to
cost
a
lot
for
administrative,
so
I'm,
opposing
Copa
I'm
here
as
a
mom-and-pop
owner
I,
appreciated
that
the
city
can
consider
all
aspect
of
this
Copa.
Thank.

AT
Thank
you

apologies
that
I

figure
out
how

One
I
am
Vice
chair
of
Housing
Community
Development.
My
comments
are
accurately
reflected
in
the
supplemental
memo
and
I
hope
you
did
read
the
comments
of
the
Commissioners
that
spent
I
believe
about
four
hours
on
this
issue.
I
certainly
understand
why
such
a
paradigm
shift
is
frightening
to
everyone.
AT
I've
been
thinking
about
this
issue
for
about
five
years
and
quite
honestly,
solving
homelessness
in
this
town
and
I've
been
watching
that
since
1982.,
it's
like
drinking
from
a
fire
hose
right
now
we
need
a
paradigm
shift.
I
urge
you
to
support
Coppa
and
again
apologies
for
taking
up
your
time
twice.
Thank
you.
G

Closing
the
bridge,
I
I
think
this
affects
not
only
families
but
also
children.
Children
do
not
understand
why
we
move
why
we
have
moved
three
times
already:
we've
been
displaced
three
times,
not
because
we
do
not
pay
rent
but
because
the
landlords
sell
the
homes
without
even
telling
us
us.
Renters
are
the
last
ones
to
find
out
that
the
houses
are
that
our
place
is
being
sold.

Thank
you
good
afternoon.
My
name

Angelica.
I
am
a
mother
of
three
children,
I've
been
living
in
San
Jose
for
16
years,
I
own
a
business
and
I've
been
living
in
the
same
place
and
the
same
house
for
16
years
I.
We
have
good
landlords,
they're
good
people,
however,
they
want
they
increase
the
rent,
often
and
because
they
want
money
and
I
feel
that
this
is
like
a
vicious
circle.
It
and
Copa
is
not
going
to
be
the
answer.
EE
G
I
have
been
living
in
San
Jose,
and
we
moved
here
many
times
already,
because
the
homes
where
we
live
have
been
sold.
I
work,
three
jobs
to
provide
my
kids
with
a
place
that
is
not
just
one
single
room
so
that
they
can
have
privacy
and
dignity.
We
contribute
to
this
economy.
We
just
want
to
have
a
housing
with
dignity.
We
believe
that
Copa
gives
us
hope,
and
we
just
want
to
give
our
kids
a
stable,
a
stable
home
that
we
think
that
they
deserve.
Thank
you.
BX
Martha
O'connell,
it's
been
a
long
and
winding
road
for
me
on
this
issue.
Originally
I
had
no
opinion.
I
attended,
countless
meetings,
I
listened
carefully
I
now
stand
opposed
to
Copa.
I
am
disturbed
by
the
attitude
towards
the
landlords
and
meetings
put
on
by
housing,
an
attitude
of
which
they
have
complained.
I
am
disturbed
by
the
lack
of
objective
analysis.
I
am
disturbed
by
the
lack
of
fair
representation
of
the
opposing
viewpoints.
BX
I
am
disturbed
by
the
use
of
the
term
racist
to
bullying
me
into
supporting
Copa
I
am
very
disturbed
that
mobile
home
residents
have
been
misinformed,
that
this
Copa
will
cover
them.
This
is
not
true.
Copa
is
a
bridge
too
far.
Copa
is
government
overreach
that
will
not
significantly
move
the
needle
of
affordable
housing.
EF
Like
I
need
bread,
yes,
hello,
my
name
is
Aaron
Sherman
I've
been
a
San
Jose
resident
homeowner
for
19
years.
Thank
God
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
speak.
I
oppose
Copa
because
it
will
not
solve
the
problem
of
homelessness.
It
will
only
create
more
problems
for
the
city
of
San
Jose
and
the
people
of
San
Jose,
which
many
of
those
problems
have
been
discussed
here
already
today.
EF
I
propose
that
a
formal
q
a
session
be
set
up
and
recorded
between
Copa
Advocates
and
those
who
oppose
Copa
so
that
all
the
specific
issues
can
be
discussed
in
detail.
That
recording
can
then
be
shown
to
the
committee
and
council
members,
so
they
can
then
understand
the
huge
problems
with
Copa
and
the
fact
that
it
will
not
solve
the
problem.
It
has
been
created
to
solve
homelessness.
This
issue
is
too
important
to
only
listen
to
one
minute
Advocates
and
opponents
on
the
subject.
EF
BU
EG
Ahead,
oh
sorry,
yeah
I,
I
didn't
realize
you
know.
I
was
unmuted
yes,
hi,
yes
good
afternoon,
so
my
name
is
yeah
I'm,
the
small
landlord
in
San
Jose
yeah,
so
I
have
one
rental
unit
in
San,
Jose,
so
I
want
to
let
you
know
I'm.
You
know
strong
strongly
oppose
copper
or
a
couple
of
reasons.
First
of
all,
you
know
the
houses
are
private
properties.
You
know
private
access,
so
the
owner
takes
a
property
tax
mortgage
and
business
license
and
the
maintenance
costs
so
city
was
a
government
didn't
help
anything.
EG
BZ
Okay,
hi,
that
is
Chris
and
let's
just
call
Copa
what
it
is
another
step
towards
Universal
housing,
another
over
reaching
power
grab
or
Progressive
power
grab,
and
it
I'll
be
honest
with
you.
I
am
glad
that
we're
having
this
discussion,
because
I
I've
heard
every
argument
for
and
against
Coppa
and
to
me
Copa
just
sounds
completely
it's
not
at
all
a
a
good
proposition.
The
only
thing
Coppa
has
going
for
it
is
the
requirement
to
notify
tenants
if
their
unit
is
being
sold
or
if
they're
built
house
or
apartment
building
is
being
sold.
EH
This
Council
has
also
lifted
up
and
recognized
the
contributions
of
essentially
workers
over
the
past
three
years,
but
it's
essential
workers
and
their
families
who
are
being
displaced
at
the
highest
rates
in
the
city
and
it's
essential
workers,
who's,
undervalued
and
underpaid
labor,
allows
any
person
here
the
luxury
to
buy
and
sell
real
estate.
Copa
allows
the
basic
right
for
community
members
for
children
to
stay
in
their
homes
and
to
have
basic
security.
We
have
enough
housing
and
wealth
in
the
city
for
everyone
to
be
housed.
EH
We
just
need
the
moral
courage
to
take
on
real
solutions
like
Copa,
instead
of
allowing
unlimited
speculation
and
profiteering
over
the
most
basic
Community
well-being.
The
dramatic
dire
projections
we've
heard
today
about
destroying
small
homeowners
is
not
based
in
reality.
Homeowners
are
doing
just
fine
in
DC,
but
people
have
been
able
to
stay
in
their
home.
Please
support
yeah.
BT
Hello,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
okay,
Paul
Soto
from
a
horseshoe.
What
koppa
does
is
it
prevents
the
city
from
looking
Square
in
the
eye
and
accepting
the
responsibility
of
the
generational
consequences
of
the
redlining
map
of
1939?
What
I
do
not
appreciate?
Is
these
non-profits
getting
in
the
way
of
allowing
the
city
to
accept
full
responsibility
for
all
of
the
economic
and
housing
issues
that
we're
dealing
with
today?
That
are
a
direct
result
of
that
1939
map.
BT
The
city
needs
to
square
that
debt
and
that's
debt
I
need
to
collect
on,
because
I
am
the
generational
inheritor
that
was
my
inheritance
as
a
lifelong
resident
of
San
Jose.
What
you
did
to
my
parents
in
excluding
them
from
certain
areas
of
the
city
and
acquiring
generational
wealth
that
they
could
have
passed
down
to
me.
You
still
need
to
square
that
debt
and
I
take
great
offense
of
these
non-profits.
Getting
in
the
way
of
that
process.
Let
the
city
accept
accountability.
First,.
EI
Good
afternoon
this
is
Jeremy
Bruce,
with
Amigos
de
Guadalupe
Center
for
justice
and
empowerment
back
in
September
2020.
The
city
council
took
some
major
steps
toward
addressing
displacement
in
our
city
by
approving
its
city-wide
residential
anti-displacement
strategy,
with
Coppa
as
one
of
the
policies
listed
in
the
strategy.
Now
it's
time
to
deliver
on
that
bold
action
taken
back
in
2020,
our
San
Jose
families
continue
to
be
pushed
out
of
their
communities.
EI
The
housing
crisis
is
Deport
disproportionately,
impacting
our
communities
of
color
the
most
ramp
burning
renters
in
San
Jose
are
black
and
Vietnamese
communities,
Copa
and
housing
preservation,
Advanced
anti-displacement
goals
and
would
allow
low,
lower
income
renter
families
to
continue
living
in
their
communities.
Our
families
just
can't
wait.
Let's
walk
the
walk
and
deliver
on
the
action
taken
back
on
Council
back
in
2020
to
keep
their
families.
BU
EJ
Let's
call
out
copper
for
what
it
really
is.
It
is
a
temp.
It
is
an
attempt
by
unscrupulous
lawyers
and
non-profits
to
steal
the
equity
of
mom
and
pop
housing
providers
through
Market
manipulation
and
collusion.
Let
me
repeat:
it
is
an
attempt
by
unscrupulous
lawyers
and
non-profit
to
steal
the
equity
of
mom
and
pop
housing
providers
through
market
manipulations
and
collusion.
The
whole
point
is
to
force
mom
and
pop
housing
providers
to
sell
the
properties
at
below
market
prices.
EJ
EK
EL
T
T
I'm
against
Coppa.
It's
a
bad
law.
When
you
read
the
fine
print,
it's
very
convoluted
and
it's
excessive
government
control
non-profits
can
buy
just
like
everyone
else
on
the
open
market.
I
do
believe
that
the
property
taxes
and
the
way
we're
moving
with
measure
e
focuses
on
increasing
the
housing
stock,
which
will
get
people
off
the
street
and
also
we
need
more
emergency
interim
housing.
The
tax
base
will
be
affected
by
this
and
when
you
do
that,
it
hurts
all
the
residents
of
the
city.
Thank
you.
So
much
I
yield
my
time.

going
to
notice

there
are

today

they're,

who
have
to
work

in
the

way
that
many

in

have
to
do
that's.
What's
necessary,
I've
been
working
since

a
half

nearly
five

from
the

If
I
didn't
have
my
partner
supporting
me,
I'd
be
on
the
street,
a
couple
would
keep
me
from
being
discarded
just
because
I
am
not
profitable
to
landlords
who
want
to
know
why?
Don't
just

Hi,
my
name
is
Ken
I'm
a
landowner
for
about
12
years
when
I
bought
my
fourplex
12
years
ago.
I
never
displaced
any
tenant
right,
so
even
even
up
to
today,
I
have
two
of
my
410
and
coming
from
the
original
tenant
before
I
bought
the
house.
So
I
don't
understand
why
the
tenant
keep
on
saying
that
the
the
mom
and
pop
you
know
then
they'll,
you
know,
push
them
out,
it's
not
as
they
push
them
out
right
and
then
also
Cobra
doesn't
have
the
problem
because
you
favor
one
one
one.

right,

do

I,
do
a

of

myself
to
keep

low
right

I
don't

also
during

time
there
was

they
didn't
pay
me
rent
for
nine
months
right
what
was

eventually

keep

there.
Eventually,

thanks
a

lots

We've
been
talking
about
this
issue
for,
like
over
two
years
now
in
community
meeting
process

I'm
a
bit
disappointed
that
we
can't
as
a

as
a
whole,
work
on
a
more
refined
talking
points
at
this
point.
We're
going
over
points
that
I
think
really
should
have
been
covered
in
the
community
meeting
process
and
that
we
should
have
come
agreements
to
as

ER
Dude
good
afternoon,
City
Council
Members
Eric
Barnes,
with
his
favorite
medical
Housing
Association.
The
housing
issues
we
have
today
are
lack
of
production,
household
income
gaps
and
strict
housing
enforcement
policies.
Let's
focus
on
grants,
vouchers
and
incentives
to
fix
these
problems.
Besides
increasing
program,
bureaucracy,
complexity
and
cost
Copa
does
nothing
to
produce
more
needed.
Housing
with
Popa
Savvy
new
investors
and
well-funded
non-profits
enter
into
targeted
communities
with
promises
and
exploit
under-resourced
owners
creates
perverse
incentives
that
work
against
incumbent
owners
and
the
values
their
property,
especially
in
black
brown
and
immigrant
communities.
ER
I
urge
you
to
reject
the
misguided
Promises
of
Copa.
It
is
not
a
win
for
the
city
or
for
long-standing
owners,
and
residents
in
communities
of
color.
Bc's
failed
program
is
an
example
of
how
to
drive
out
black
and
brown
residents,
as
seen
in
the
almost
50
percent
drop
in
these
populations
since
the
implementation
of
its
topa
program.
Thank
you.

You

displacement
is

Now,
if
Copa
has
passed,
there
could
be
a
mom-and-pop
sell-off
of

properties
between
passage
and
implementation,
causing
current
renters,
an
even
bigger
problem
of
where
to
live,
q
and
P's
argument
that
the
market
is
moving
too
fast
for
their
participation
is
proven
false
by
the
number
of
multi-units
currently
on

market,

well
as
by

announced
the
recent

today.

Thank
you
for
the

speak.
I

butcher.
Realtors
agree.
There
is
a
housing
affordability
issue
in
San
Jose,
not
only
for
renters
but
also
for
home
buyers.
My
son
was
born
and
raised
here,
but
he
too
had
to
relocate
to
out
of
the
Bay
Area
to
Texas
due
to
the
cost
of
housing,
but
even
so
I
support,
creating
and
keeping
affordable
housing,
but
I
am
not
in
support
of
Copa
I'm.
EV
Certain
Copa
is
not
the
proper
vehicle
to
achieve
this
goal.
There
is
no
evidence
that
Coppa
will
achieve
what
Runners
are
being
told.
There's
a
reason
why
the
terminology
used
to
explain
the
benefits
of
Copa,
specifically
states
that
it
may
or
it
could
possibly
create,
affordable
housing.
Tenants
are
going
to
be
greatly
disappointed
at
the
end
result
of
Copa,
but
by
then
it
will
be
too
late.
Money
that
could
have
been
spent
to
help
directly
assist
them
with
rents
will
have
been
spent
to
support
non-profit
corporations
again.

Yes,

yeah
I'd
like
to
express
my
opposition
to
Copa
for
all
the
reasons
that
have
been
previously
mentioned,
I
feel
it's
a
disadvantage.
An
unfair
disadvantage
to
the
small
property
owner
as
it
is
San
Jose
has
too
many
roles
for
landlords
as
it
is,
we
don't
need
more.

I've
been
suffering.
This
broken
racist
system

and
we
we're
there
is
not
much
help
for
people
of
color
like
me,
if
it,
but
thanks
to
some
friends
that
have
been
very
helpful,
we
have
been
able
to
survive.
I
I,
support,
Copa

I
believe
that
Copa
brings
hope
to
us
so
that
this
organizations
can
buy
can
help
us
buy
a
home.
Thank
you.
FD
Hi
this
is
Mina
young
I
strongly
oppose
Copa.
It's
it's
gonna,
be
really
bad
for
my
son,
who's,
a
renter
and
he
works
in
the
Silicon
Valley
and
currently
he's
sharing
housing
with
few
people.
You
know
Mom
and
Pop
poverty
Copa
is
going
to
make
Mom
and
Pops
don't
want
to
rent
out
anymore
as
I
know,
because
I'm,
a
home,
a
single
home
owner
and
I
don't
want
to
expand
my
property
just
because
of
all
these
rent
regulations.
FD
So
this
is
another
hit
on
the
Mom
and
Pops
that
will
really
discourage
them
from
renting
out,
because
every
minute,
when
you
do
a
buy
and
sell
it's
very
daunting,
already
very
stressful.
By
adding
all
these
extra
requirements,
it's
gonna
make
it
really
unbearable
and
all
the
legal
fees
and
and
the
extra
costs
and
the
stress,
so
people
will
not
want
to
rent
out.
FE
Thank
you
for
your
time.
I
am
not
a
housing
provider,
nor
am
I
a
realtor,
but
I
oppose
Copa
cope
is
not
cost
effective.
Let's
just
assume
for
a
minute
that
we
have
just
one
dollar
to
spend
on
housing.
I
estimate
the
following
one
generally
well-run
Prof
non-profits
having
twenty
percent
overhead
all
right.
One
dollar
is
now
80
cents
assume.
The
government
oversight
is
10
of
that
one
dollar
we're
now
down
to
70
cents.
Then
there
are
no
property
taxes
on
a
Copa
property.
FE
That's
three
percent
times,
15
years
that
property
tax
isn't
paid,
so
we
are
not
getting
our
best
value.
This
is
not
the
way
to
solve
the
problem
by
wasting
over
30
percent
or
more
of
the
one
dollar
we
have
to
spend
vouchers,
make
more
sense.
There
are
other
methods.
Please
do
not
implement
this
project
policy,
it
needs
more
work.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
FF
Hello,
my
name
is
United
Ramon,
I'm,
14
years
old
and
I
live
in
this
District
Seven
in
San
Jose,
currently
yeah,
our
beautiful
city
of
San
Jose,
is
being
taken
over
by
investors.
These
investors
are
not
only
buying
a
plant,
but
they
are
buying
up
our
homes.
Rent
is
really
overpriced.
In
the
city
of
San
Jose,
we
have
an
increased
amount
of
homelessness.
People,
as
each
year
passes
by
these
policies,
aren't
to
make
the
right
to
make
the
life
of
homeowners
harder.
FF
BU
BU
FG
Okay
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
oppose
the
Copa
as
a
new
policy,
because
it
is
wrong
if
it
is
like.
You
know,
someone
who
is
taking
the
answer
sheet
and
gave
it
to
another
person
and
say
you
know
just
answer
it
exactly
the
same
way
as
as
as
you
do,
and
then
you
know
if
I
am
a
if,
if
it
doesn't
work
for
either
the
landlord
or
the
tenant,
if
I
am
renting
and
I
can
buy,
the
property
I
can
buy
it
in
the
on
the
market.
BU
BU
FH
FH
It
doesn't
help
the
tenants
it's
just
putting
an
extra
layer
of
bureaucracy
and
also
too
I
mean
I
I
I
own
a
little
property
and
I
I've
been
renting
to
my
tenants
during
the
prom
during
the
last
few
years,
I
actually
lower
my
rent,
because
I
know
that
they're
people
going
through
issues
I'm
sure
that's
a
true
for
a
lot
of
landlords
too
so
I
mean
I,
don't
see
it
doesn't
help
the
process
it.
It
just
basically
burdens
the
process
and
it
it
just
doesn't
do
anything
to
solve
it.
FH
FI
Hello
is
it
my
turn?
Yes
yeah,
so
I'm
a
resident
and
a
registered
voter
from
the
district
four
of
San
Jose,
so
today,
I'm
very
upset
about
learning
what
Copa
is
intended
to
do
and
I'm
strongly
against
the
Copa
as
the
first
generation
of
the
immigrants
I'm
I
have
faith
on
the
Law
and
Order
Americans
funder
understand.
Clearly
what
private
property
is
funded
is
a
foundation
not
only
for
the
Prosperity,
but
also
for
the
freedom
itself.
FI
So
through
the
common
law
in
state
law,
they
protect
the
product
rights,
the
rights
of
peoples
to
acquire
Youth
and
the
dispose
of
property
freely.
So
Copa
is
totally
against
U.S
Constitution,
owner
and
renter
are
all
equal
citizens.
The
ownership
should
be
protected.
Equally
homeowners
work
hard
to
earn
their
Hops
and
to
pay
the
bills.
It's
not
a
privilege,
it's
what
they
earned.
The
Copa
is
a
robbery
It's,
a
Robbery
law.
It's
robbing
one
citizens
property
to
please
other
citizens.
It's
provoking.

FJ
Hello
yeah:
this
is
Ken
yeah
I'm,
a
resident
of
Sunnyvale
and
I
have
a
property
in
San,
Jose
and
I
strongly
against
Copa,
because
more
regulation
will
prevent
more
people
to
buy
home
because
they
know
there's
a
Corporal
law
there
and
that
makes
less
housing
on
the
rental
market.
So
it's
not
a
solution.
It's
a
it's
a
restriction
and
it's
a
discrimination
for
some
people.
So
we
are
under
the
demo.
FJ

Hello
I
strongly
opposed
oppa,
it
has
not
worked
in
DC
and
it
is
not
going
to
work
in
San
Jose
I
provide
a
small
single
family
home
to
tenant
and
doing
covet.
I
reduce
the
rent
to
help
them
out.
So,
like
other
speaker
has
said
it
before,
we
are
very
here
to
provide
housing
and
to
be
helpful
and
I.
Think
Copa
will
violate
the
free
market.
It
will
take
away
the
property
owner's
rights.
It
is
very
unfair
to
small
property
owner
and
it's
very
costly
to
the
city.
EC
B
Wonderful,
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
Thank
you
for
all
of
the
input
from
the
community.
I
lost
track
of
how
many
people
actually
spoke,
but
it
was
a
huge
amount
considering.
This
is
a
committee
item
that
we're
discussing,
but
it
just
says
how
important
this
issue
is
to
everyone
in
this
room
and
and
in
our
community.
So
with
that
I
am
going
to
start
going
through
the
committee
members
and
get
their
input
council.
Member

FK
Thank
you,
chair
I,
also
want
to
begin
my
comments
by
thanking
staff
for
the
great
presentation
and
report.
I
know
that,
through
the
hardest
moments
of
the
pandemic,
the
housing
staff
has
been
working
around
the
clock,
ensuring
that
our
families
are
protected
and
able
to
remain
in
their
homes
whether
it
was
the
eviction,
Center
or
managing
rent
relief.
You
all
played
a
critical
role
in
stabilizing
Working
Families,
especially
in
my
district,
so
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
and
just
say
that
I'm
eternally
grateful
for
that
work.
FK
It
was
these
conditions
that
Eastside
residents
are
forced
to
live
that
created
The
Perfect
Storm
during
the
pandemic.
Mind
you
that
a
third
of
the
County's
first
coveted
19
deaths
had
swept
through
four
East
San
Jose,
zip
codes,
and
with
that
context,
it's
easy
to
understand
why
our
East
San
Jose
residents,
have
the
most
to
lose.
If
strong
policies
like
Copa
do
not
pass
when
it
comes
to
tackling
displacement
and
gentrification,
we
recognize
the
importance
of
the
three
PS
which
are
production,
protection
and,
of
course,
preservation.
FK
In
the
absence
of
new
rent-controlled
apartments,
Coppa
presents
an
Avenue
for
affordability
Guided
by
the
community's
best
interest.
Qualified
non-profits
would
gain
the
ability
to
compete
in
the
self-interest
dominated
Market,
and
let
me
just
make
it
clear:
Copa
is
not
a
voucher
or
a
subsidy.
Qualified
non-profits
will
still
need
to
pay
market
rate.
FK
FK
The
top
of
policy
also
supported
the
creation
of
about
100,
limited
Equity
co-ops,
providing
home
ownership
options
for
former
renter
families
and
like
any
policy
when,
given
the
proper,
financials
and
administrative
support,
it
will
show
success.
All
in
all
Copa
policy
prevents
the
displacement
of
low-income
communities
of
color
and
modern
marginalized
residents.
FK
It
stabilizes
housing
and
helps
retain
our
existing
Community,
a
community
who
helped
build
this
city.
It
gives
a
voice
to
tenants
and
creates
Pathways
to
home
ownership
for
very
low
and
extremely
low
income.
Tenants.
It's
because
of
these
benefits
that
I
see
Copa
as
a
small
and
reasonable
ask
for
property
owners.
Providing
adequate
and
affordable
housing
is
our
greatest
responsibility
and
I
share
a
deep
commitment
to
ensuring
the
health
and
safety
of
all
residents.
With
that
I
move
to
accept
the
staff
report.
FK
D
D
President
Biden
said
the
other
day
that
when
people
get
jobs,
they
don't
only
get
a
paycheck,
they
get
dignity,
they
get
esteemed
self-esteem.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
the
renters
have
a
dignity.
They
have
self-esteem,
but
when
you
pay
your
own
rent,
there
is
a
different
dignity
than
when
you
are
living
on
subsidies.
Okay,
so
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
people
are
able
to
afford
to
pay
their
own
rent,
not
living
on
subsidies.
That
is
the
structural
Improvement
we
need
to
make
in
this.
D
Society
people
are
not
able
to
pay
their
rent
because
we
haven't
built
enough
of
the
property
in
in
San
Jose
and
in
the
entire
nation
and
specifically
where
the
jobs
are.
We
haven't
built
enough.
Okay,
so
we
need
to
build
enough
of
those
supplies
so
that
everybody
can
live
with
dignity
and
have
self-esteem
and
have
a
property
to
live
in.
Okay.
D
D
Okay
and
I
can
assure
you
that,
even
though
it
is
my
57th
day
at
the
council,
I've
been
studying
this
material
for
months,
because
this
is
a
problem
which
is
hitting
us
hard
and
unless
we
properly
address
it,
we
are
all
going
to
be
living
very
unpleasantly
in
this
city
and
most
in
this
region.
Okay,
so
I
am
going
to
be
asking
some
very
strict
questions
to
my
fellow
staff,
members
from
the
city
of
San
Jose,
to
establish
three
things.
D
D
Three
types
of
questions
number
one
is
copper.
The
solution
for
this
problem
is
copper.
The
best
and
the
most
cost
effective
solution
for
this
okay
and
or
q
and
P
is
the
right
intermediaries
to
really
provide
this
solution.
So
my
questions
will
be
very
direct
and
I'm
going
to
ask
those
right
now
to
the
staff
members
first
question
is
okay
or
the
Q
and
P's
going
to
be
paying
transfer
tax
for
measure
e
when
they
buy
the
property.
Q
Thank
you,
council,
member
batra,
and
thank
you
for
all
your
studying
at
this
time.
There
is
not
an
exception
to
pay
transfer
tax
in
measure
a
for
any
properties
bought
through
Copa.
It
is
something
that
many
stakeholders
mentioned
that
they
would
like
some
Property
Owners
said
well
gee.
If
you
reduce
my
transfer
tax,
then
I
would
be
more
likely
to
sell
to
a
non-profit
that
I
met
as
long
as
I
thought.
They
were
reputable
and
would
give
me
a
fair
price.
Q
So
it's
certainly
been
brought
up,
but
at
this
time
there
is
an
exception,
a
narrow,
a
very
narrow
exception
under
measure
e
transfer
tax
for
sales
to
non-profits,
and
when
we
read
the
ordinance
very
carefully,
it
would
not
apply
in
this
case
because
the
buyer
and
the
seller
were
not
both
non-profits.
So
the
the
benefit
would
have
to
go
to
a
non-profit
under
the
current
pilot
program
waiver
for
measure
e,
okay,.
D
Q
That
is
something
that
staff
actually
was
researching
And
discussing
further,
and
it
has
some
good
some
Merit
to
it,
and
then
some
you
know
thoughts
that
it
would
obviously
be
up
to
the
city
council.
If
that
was
your
decision
measure
e
revenues
are
very
important
for
preservation,
homelessness,
homelessness,
you
know,
avoidance
all
kinds
of
things.
We
really
need
the
revenues.
Q
Q
D
That's
not
I
am
looking
at
it.
Would
the
city
be
having
a
revenue
property
tax
decrease
instead
of
getting
an
increase?
If
the
property
was
sold
to
another
non-profit,
they
would
have
gotten
an
increase
in
property
tax,
rather
than
this
will
be
decreasing
the
revenue,
the
very
Revenue
we
need
to
balance
our
budget.
Q
D
Q
D
Q
Work
on
the
program
implementation
for
the
next
year
would
be
done
largely
under
our
project.
Partnership
for
the
base
feature
fellow
Heather
Bromfield,
that
is,
she
has
paid
for
her
position
by
the
San
Francisco
Foundation,
okay,
and
then
our
proposal
would
be
to
hire
one
program
manager,
development
officer
position
in
the
24-25
budget.
Okay,.
D
As
my
time
is
coming
into,
an
unshare
person
is
going
to
say
that
chairperson
I
would
like
to
make
a
substitute
motion.
The
staff
be
directed
to
come
back
with
a
proposal
which
gives
us
a
more
effective
solution
for
protecting
the
displacement,
rather
than
getting
this
five
million
dollars,
which
they
need
initially
to
get
started.
I
did
rough
calculations
that
can
give
us
four
hundred
dollars
a
month
additional
subsidy
to
a
person,
a
tenant,
four
thousand
families.
D
We
cannot
live
with
the
current
supply
of
the
houses
and
be
able
to
control
the
rent
and
provide
accommodation
to
all
the
city
of
San
Jose
staff.
This
is
creating
our
money
going
in
the
wrong
direction.
As
far
as
permanent
solution
is
concerned,
this
temporary
solution
Advantage,
if
a
chairperson,
will
alarm
in
30
seconds
to
make
an
analogy.
D
If
you
have
a
viral
infection
and
you
try
to
take
cough
drops,
you
don't
solve
the
problem.
You
need
antibiotics,
we
need
more
supply
of
Home,
affordable
homes
and
we
need
to
use
every
penny.
We
got
in
our
coffers
and
every
resource
person.
We
got
spending
their
time,
24
hours
a
day,
getting
more
supply
of
homes,
affordable
homes
and,
let's
spend
all
our
money
over
there
rather
than
in
this
fancy.
Cough
drops,
which
are
going
to
give
a
temporary
relief
and
not
have
any
real
good
solution
to
our
problem.
B
FL
FL
B
At
this
point,
the
the
motion
is
to
accept
the
report.
You
can
vote
Yes
to
accept
the
report.
You
can
vote
no,
if,
if
a
majority
of
council
votes
know
which
frankly
I
intend
to
vote,
no
because
there's
a
lot
of
issues
with
Coppa
and
I'll
go
into
that
in
a
few
minutes.
But
if
a
majority
of
council
votes
know
it
will
still
go.
The
item
will
still
go
forward
to
the
city
council,

in
2020
the
direction
was
that
city
council
would.

clarity
today,
we're
here
to
either
accept
or
not
accept
the
staff's
report
and
to
provide
feed
feedback.
We
are
not
here
to
approve
or
disapprove
Copa
as
a
policy.
So
that's
just
right
off
the
bat
I
really
want
to
thank
staff
for
all
the
work
that
you've
done.
There
have
been
numerous
enormous
amounts
of
hours
being
spent.
O
The
last
two
years
on
this
and
I
know
that
one
of
the
things
that
was
directed
by
the
entire
city
council
was
to
go
out
and
do
the
community
outreach
and
all
of
that
so
on
you
know.
I
I
really
appreciate
all
that
I
appreciate
all
of
the
briefings,
tons
of
briefings
and
being
available
having
staff
be
available
to
all
my
crazy
questions,
so
I
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
so
much
for
that.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
community
on
whether
you
agree
with
it
or
not
agree
with
it.
O
O
The
one
thing
that
I
will
say
is
that
I
do
have
my
concerns
as
to
the
completeness
of
the
way.
This
is
before
us
According
to
some
of
the
staff
information
in
the
short
term.
This
would
provide
15
units
annually
for
the
five
million
dollars
of
of
investment.
So
I
see
a
lot
of
concern
around
the
funding,
the
sustainability,
and
that
is
just
the
initial
cost
most
of
these
units.
O
Since
they're
going
to
be
older
units
of
you
know,
15
years
or
more,
it's
going
to
need
some
either
Rehabilitation
upgrade,
and
you
know
what
I
would
ask
is
where's
that
money
coming
from
I
really
I
really
want
worry
about
the
whole
sustainability
of
how
that's
all
going
to
happen.
I
understand
that
measure
e
has
some
funding
to
deal
with
some
of
the
housing,
but
over
time
it
seems
like
15
units
on
an
annual
basis
is,
is
not
enough.
O
I
mean
there's
an
enormous
amount
of
funds,
City
funds
that
would
go
into
this
plus
council
member
batra
mentioned
the
the
taxes.
They
would
not
be
charged
the
property
taxes,
so
you
know
I
I,
just
wonder
how
is
it
going
to
be
sustainable?
Yes,
we
have
to
do
something
about
displacement,
but
what
is
the
balance
in
terms
of
the
measure
e
funds?
You
know
not
so
long
ago
there
was
a
great
housing
project
that
came
before
us,
which
needed
double
the
money
to
be
able
to
be
built.
O
I
really
see
that
a
lot
of
the
measure
e
money
needs
to
go
to
increase
the
the
the
number
of
units
that
that
we
need
in
the
city.
I
personally
do
not
think
that
this
is.
This
may
be
one
of
the
many
displacement
strategies
that
that
the
previous
Council
came
up
with
I,
don't
know
if
this
is
the
correct
strategy.
One
of
the
things
that
I
would
like
to
see
more
of
is
I
was
really
delighted
to
hear
that
the
South
Bay
Community
Land
Trust,
was
able
to
buy
their
first
unit.
O
O
For
those
of
you
who
may
not
be
familiar
Community
Development
corporations
are
501c3,
nonprofits
that
create
that
are
created
to
support
and
Revitalize
communities,
especially
those
that
are
impoverished
or
struggling,
and
often
they
deal
with
many
of
these
affordable
housing
and
I
would
like
to
see
that
even
piloted
in
certain
areas,
maybe
we
have
one
in
you
know
D1
D3
D,
you
know
seven.
What
what
have
you
but
I,
really
think
that
those
are
the
vehicles
that
we
can.
We
can
move
forward
on
that
that
could
perhaps
be
much
more
sustainable.
O
You
know,
maybe
there's
something
that
I
don't
know,
but
it
does
make
me
uncomfortable
because
who
are
these
qualified
non-profits,
you
know
and
whether
or
not
they
have
the
ability
to
do
everything
necessary
to
be
successful.
If
it's
an
investment
from
the
city
coming
in
to
these
qualified
non-profits,
you
want
to
make
sure
they
succeed.
Right
I
mean
we
all
do.
O
It's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
money,
so
is
it
better
to
invest
and
move
all
you
know,
like
the
majority
of
that
money
over
to
to
to
these
units,
or
is
it
better
to
invest
that
money
in
new
units
to
expand
that
and
I
think
that,
as
far
as
I
can
see
from
the
information,
I
have
right
now,
I
mean
it
may
change
later
on,
but
the
information
I
have
right
now.
I
would
rather
invest
in
the
building
of
more
units.
O
O
O
I
acknowledge
the
need
for
displacement
strategy
and
the
need
for
more
affordable
housing,
but
right
now
this
is
not
the
time
to
add
another
layer
of
restrictions
or
regulations
with
the
housing
crisis
I'd.
Rather
it
be
more
solutions
based
and
and
really
look
to
perhaps
having
the
city,
the
city
staff
be
facilitators
of
a
Community
Development
Corporation.
So
you
know
I
know
that
this
will
move
on
to
council,
because
Council
needs
to
direct,
but
I
would
like
to
make
a
subject
to
motion
that
does
not
accept
the
staff
report
I've.
B
N
Good
good
afternoon,
first
of
all,
I
would
like
to
thank
staff
for
for
all
your
work
on
this
issue.
It's
very
very
critical
and
important
issue.
I
also
appreciate
our
community
for
being
here
whether
you
are
a
proponent
or
not.
Some
of
the
commentary,
though,
was
very
very
interesting,
but
it
is
what
it
is.
So
we
know
that
that
Copa
is
a
tool
that
furthers
preservation
efforts
here
in
hope.
N
Well
in
the
cities
that
have
them
right
and
it's,
it
will
create
a
process
that
that
supports
qualified
non-profits
to
acquire
property
in
an
open
market.
But
for
me,
most
importantly,
it
will
stabilize
many
of
our
neighborhoods
that
need
rental
stability.
Stabilization
displacement
is
a
huge
issue
in
in
the
city
of
San
Jose,
and
we
need
to
deal
with
it.
We
need
to
deal
with
it
as
a
community.
N
I
have
I
have
expressed
my
support
for
for
Copa,
and
this
policy
and
I
continue
to
maintain
our
our
that
support
now,
and
it's
for
and
and
I
already
know
how
this
vote
is
going
to
go.
Obviously-
and
you
know,
I
I
will
continue
to
to
to
to
to
you
know-
respect
my
my
colleagues
here,
but
I
just
want
to.
Let
folks
know
that
homeownership
is
the
greatest
way
to
protect
against
displacement
and
gentrification
here
here
in
San
Jose.
N
We
live
in
the
wealthiest
region
in
the
country,
but
that
so
much
wealth
and
the
affordability
of
our
region
is
making
impossible
for
for
our
Working
Families,
especially
I,
buy
Puck
families
to
be
homeowners
here
in
this
Valley.
So
leaving
us
with
that,
leaving
us
us
up
here
at
the
diocese
with
the
task
of
protecting
vulnerable
families
and
Coppa
does
just
that.
N
N
B
Thank
you,
council,
member,
obviously
there's
a
lot
of
passion
on
both
sides
of
this
issue
and
I'm
going
to
speak
in
favor
of
the
substitute
motion,
even
though
knowing
that
this
is
going
to
go
forward
to
city
council,
regardless
of
how
we
vote,
because
Council
directed
us
in
2020
I
happen
to
be
there
and
I.
Remember
that
vote
Copa
does
not
solve
the
displacement
problem.
I'm
not
I
have
so
many.
You
know,
I'm
a
I'm
was
still
I.
Am
I
used
to
have
a
real
estate
company
that
helped
people
buy
houses
by
financing
them.
B
I
no
longer
have
that
business
I'm
out
of
that
business
I'm
now
a
city
council
person
but
I
know
the
details
and
the
specifics
of
a
contract
and
purchasing
and
selling
homes,
but
I'm
not
going
to
go
there
right
now,
I
could
but
I'm
not
going
to
because
it's
unnecessary.
In
this
conversation,
what
I'm
copper
is
trying
to
solve
a
problem
of
displacement
with
a
tool
that
won't
work
or
that
is
totally
unnecessary.
B
I'm,
looking
at
a
list,
a
list
of
multiple
of
properties
currently
available
on
the
most
multiple
listing
service
that
is
ready
and
available
for
anyone
to
purchase
who
wants
to
make
an
offer
on
it,
be
they
a
duplex,
be
they
a
multi-family
unit?
All
you
need
is
a
realtor
to
or
not
a
realtor
doesn't
have
to
be
a
realtor,
a
licensed
agent
who
can
help
get
you
access
to
the
multiple
listing
service
on
the
commercial
side,
there's
also
Loop
neck
and
co-star,
or
something
like
that.
B
B
I'm
concerned
that
there
are
a
lot
of
issues
with
Copa
that
haven't
been
solved,
and
so
the
details
are
really
missing
on
how
it's
going
to
be
implemented,
and
there
are
too
many
problems
to
modify
it
and
bring
it
forward
in
a
positive
way
too
many
not
to
even
go
on
the
contractual
basis
of
of
all
of
that
or
a
1031
exchange.
I
know
Kristen.
You
said
that's
possible
with
the
timelines
of
it.
1031
exchange
impossible.
It's
not
going
to
happen.
B
There's
a
lot
of
things
that
are
of
concern
to
me.
The
number
one
concern
is
that
it
just
doesn't
add
any
housing
stock
and
the
cost
the
five
million
dollars
that
you
reference.
That's
going
to
come
from
nofa
funds.
We
already
heard
I
think
the
last
council
meeting
that
cost
of
developing
affordable
housing
projects
that
are
multi-units.
That
is
what
we
really
should
be
focusing
our
attention
on
on
our
dollars
on.
We
don't
have
enough
money
for
those,
because
the
costs
are
going
up
just
as
with
a
Copa
unit,
someone
purchasing
a
coping
unit.
B
Those
costs
are
going
up
where
interest
rates
are
one
place
today
in
30
days,
the
interest
rates
could
be
something
else
they
could
go
down,
but
in
this
current
market,
we're
in
an
upward
trend
for
the
interest
rates,
making
the
affordability,
affordability,
a
real,
real
issue,
council
member
Torres
are
absolutely
right.
The
number
one
way
to
build
wealth
is
to
own
your
own
home.
We
ought
to
be
focusing
on
helping
the
middle
missing
middle
purchase.
B
We
ought
to
help
be
helping
people
stay
in
the
homes
they're
in
by
providing
a
cash
rebate
or
voucher
whatever
you
want
to
call
it.
I
hadn't
even
thought
about
that
until
several
people
mentioned
I
thought
you
know
that's
kind
of
a
good
idea,
because
five
million
dollars
would
stretch
so
much
further
with
that.
Keeping
them
in
their
homes
is
important.
B
I
guess
I'll,
you
know
I
I
too
know
where
this
vote
is
going
or
I
can
do.
The
math
I
think
it's
really
important
that
everyone
in
this
room
understand
that
the
city
council
is
very
concerned
about
displacement
and
that
during
during
the
pandemic,
we
worked
really
hard
to
keep
people
in
their
places
by
raising
money
that
could
be
contributed
to
them
and
then
actually
Manning
the
phones
and
helping
people
get
in
or
stay
in
their
homes
and
collect
the
rent
that
they
were.
They
were
due
under
state
laws
and
and
local
jurisdictions.
B
B
In
my
mind
when
this
passed
from
the
city
council
and
came
back
to
Copa,
the
idea
was
this:
is
one
of
a
strategy
investigated
you've
investigated
it
and
you've
brought
it
back
to
us,
and
but
it's
not
the
it
doesn't
solve
the
problem.
It's
not
going
to
add
that
many
units
to
our
housing
need
building
multi-unit
multi-story
housing
will
and
we
need
to
focus
on
that.
I've
got
several
units
in
my
district
that
are
being
proposed
right
now,
they're
going
to
need
the
funding
they're
going
to
need
additional
nofa
funding.
D
Yeah
the
reason
I
asked
to
speak
second
time
is
I
want
to
be
very
clear
everything.
My
colleague,
council
member
Taurus,
said
we
have
a
hundred
percent
agreement
on
that.
The
problem
is
real.
The
people
displacement
is
the
worst
thing
which
can
happen
Okay.
My
heart
bleeds
for
that
I
took
this
appointment
to
address
two
items
which
is
homelessness
and
affordable
homes.
D
So
I
am
not
in
disagreement
with
what
we
need
to
do.
What
I
am
in
disagreement
with
is
that
staff
was
given
a
narrow
item
defined
they
look
like
to
them.
Copa
was
the
answer
to
this
huge
problem.
We
have
and
they've
done
a
great
job
on
it.
They
try
to
Define
as
much
as
they
could.
They
could
make
it
as
best
as
it
possibly
could,
but
having
been
given
the
wrong
assignment,
you
couldn't
do
any
better,
so
the
issue
is
not
that
what
you
have
done
issue
is
not
that
how
well
you
defined.
D
It
is
really
the
wrong
tool
with
a
lot
of
missing
element.
Even
if
we
try
to
fill
in
those,
it
really
won't
help
us
solve
it.
There
are
many
questions
in
my
mind.
I
didn't
even
go
there
because
I
didn't
think
that
was
going
to
get
us
to
the
solution.
Okay,
so
we
do
need
a
solution
and
hopefully
our
Council
will
be
able
to
understand
the
current
situation.
Our
problem
continues
to
be:
is
the
affordable
homes,
multiple
buildings,
a
lot
faster
than
the
way
we
are
building
them
today
is
the
solution.
D
How
do
we
get
to
that
one?
What
mechanics
do
you
need
to
have
the
barrier
eliminated
faster
entitlement
faster,
permitting
eliminating
the
Seeker
requirements
using
SB
35
to
build
it?
What
all
is
going
to
take
us
to
do?
Those
is
really
going
to
solve
the
problem
once
for
all
and
we
will
be
on
a
solid
footing
and
I'll
be
totally
totally
supportive
of
each
one
of
those
things
to
make
it
happen
with
that
one,
chairperson,
ideally
back.
Thank
you.
Let's.
B
B
Thank
you
moving
on
to
thank
you
for
all
the
thoughtful
comments
and
consideration.
We
will
take
this
up
again
in
Council
when
it
gets
to
us
and
I'm
sure
we'll
have
a
lively
debate
at
that
point
as
well.
We're
finished
with
the
regular
agenda.
Moving
to
open,
Forum,
open
forum
is
for
only
items
that
we
have
not
talked
about
today,
so
please
do
not
raise
your
hand
or
come
forward
and
talk
about
Copa
again.
Thank
you.

All
right,
baby,
I
hope
not.
My
zoom
link
will
be
okay
for
public
comment
time.
I
just
wanted
to
mention
the
importance
that
weren't
as
we're
in
a
new
mayoral
Administration
that
we
can
work
on
the
concepts
of
organization,
public
meetings
and
what
we
talk
about.
You
know
what
what
are
ongoing
items
that
I
think
can
be
better
organized
and
when
they
come
to
the
you
know
to
the
city,
council
and
committee
meetings
in
the
future,
we
should
be
in
a
better
place.
EQ
BU
FE
Thank
you
very
much.
I
would
like
to
express
the
desire
that,
when
a
vote
is
taken,
that
the
public
is
allowed
to
see,
at
least
on
zoom
and
hopefully
in
the
chamber,
who
voted
for
what
and
how
the
vote
was
I
heard
it
passed,
but
I
don't
know
how
the
vote
went
and
who
voted
for
what.
That
would
be
helpful
in
the
future
on
any
votes
that
are
taken,
that
the
final
vote
be
displayed
so
that
we
know
how
our
Council
people
voted.
Thank
you
for
your
consideration.
