The bank could finance housing for lower-income residents, small businesses and other projects beneficial to the community that private lenders often shy away from.

Dozens of public comments were submitted in hearings ahead of Tuesday’s vote, as well as many emails, from generations of Bay Area residents who expressed their treasured memories of San Francisco’s Japantown and the cultural significance it plays in their lives. The neighborhood is one of only three remaining Japantowns in the entire country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To date, conversations with Japan Center’s two corporate landlords — Kinokuniya Bookstores of America and 3D Investments — have mostly stalled or been ignored: monthly invoices continue to be delivered to tenants and attempts by legal representation to negotiate rent repayment have gone unanswered. And now, demands for full and immediate repayment of all outstanding rent and charges have started, according to \u003ca href=\"https://sf.eater.com/21524071/japantown-japan-center-restaurants-sf-rent-negotiations-takara-kui-shin-bo\">a recent report from Eater SF\u003c/a>. Requests for comment from both Kinokuniya Bookstores of America and 3D Investments have not yet been returned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Low said business slowdown has resulted in his clients losing massive amounts of money each month, ranging from $5,000 to $20,000 per month. A particular point of contention are high common area maintenance (CAM) fees that have skyrocketed exponentially for many of the tenants over the years, and are included in the monthly outstanding invoices. According to Low, 3D Investments has already begun efforts to try to evict one Japan Center tenant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Low acknowledged that many landlords are hurting during the pandemic as well. He noted that the ordinance also offers protections for some commercial property owners: those who own less than 25,000 square feet in San Francisco, for example, can apply for a waiver demonstrating significant financial hardship and move forward with eviction for non-payment by tenants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He hopes, though, that the ordinance will highlight the necessity of keeping tenants in place, especially for larger landlords like Kinokuniya and 3D Investments. The survival of San Francisco’s Japantown, which was established centuries ago, depends on it: “It should incentivize landlords to realize that there’s not a line of tenants that are lined up to take the space,” he said, noting the deep uncertainty of economic recovery ahead without additional federal aid yet in sight. “Let’s try to work with the people that are already there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n","disqusIdentifier":"11846796 https://ww2.kqed.org/news/?p=11846796","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2020/11/10/could-a-new-sf-commercial-eviction-ordinance-save-japantown/","stats":{"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"hasAudio":false,"hasPolis":false,"wordCount":1541,"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"paragraphCount":27},"modified":1605078107,"excerpt":"It would be the city’s most robust lifeline yet for legacy mom-and-pop shops that are the heartbeat of San Francisco’s beloved Asian cultural districts.","headData":{"twImgId":"","twTitle":"","ogTitle":"","ogImgId":"","twDescription":"","description":"It would be the city’s most robust lifeline yet for legacy mom-and-pop shops that are the heartbeat of San Francisco’s beloved Asian cultural districts.","title":"Could a New SF Commercial Eviction Ordinance Save Japantown? | KQED","ogDescription":"","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Could a New SF Commercial Eviction Ordinance Save Japantown?","datePublished":"2020-11-10T11:28:13-08:00","dateModified":"2020-11-10T23:01:47-08:00","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png","isAccessibleForFree":"True","publisher":{"@type":"NewsMediaOrganization","@id":"https://www.kqed.org/#organization","name":"KQED","url":"https://www.kqed.org","logo":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}}},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"could-a-new-sf-commercial-eviction-ordinance-save-japantown","status":"publish","path":"/news/11846796/could-a-new-sf-commercial-eviction-ordinance-save-japantown","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 10:35 p.m., Tuesday: \u003c/strong>San Francisco's Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to pass the commercial eviction ordinance.

He added that an estimated 164,000 people in San Francisco are employed by small businesses, according to his office’s calculations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We as lawmakers have an imperative, actually, to make this a matter of law, to allow these businesses that are the backbone of our economy to make it through the pandemic,” Peskin said during the meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Excluded from the ordinance’s protections are for-profit tenants in office spaces; the legislation is engineered to help retail businesses that don’t have the benefit of being able to operate remotely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Real estate attorney Allan Low of San Francisco-based law firm Perkins Coie is helping to represent the 41 tenants inside Japan Center Mall.

Dozens of public comments were submitted in hearings ahead of Tuesday’s vote, as well as many emails, from generations of Bay Area residents who expressed their treasured memories of San Francisco’s Japantown and the cultural significance it plays in their lives. The neighborhood is one of only three remaining Japantowns in the entire country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To date, conversations with Japan Center’s two corporate landlords — Kinokuniya Bookstores of America and 3D Investments — have mostly stalled or been ignored: monthly invoices continue to be delivered to tenants and attempts by legal representation to negotiate rent repayment have gone unanswered. And now, demands for full and immediate repayment of all outstanding rent and charges have started, according to \u003ca href=\"https://sf.eater.com/21524071/japantown-japan-center-restaurants-sf-rent-negotiations-takara-kui-shin-bo\">a recent report from Eater SF\u003c/a>. Requests for comment from both Kinokuniya Bookstores of America and 3D Investments have not yet been returned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Low said business slowdown has resulted in his clients losing massive amounts of money each month, ranging from $5,000 to $20,000 per month. A particular point of contention are high common area maintenance (CAM) fees that have skyrocketed exponentially for many of the tenants over the years, and are included in the monthly outstanding invoices. According to Low, 3D Investments has already begun efforts to try to evict one Japan Center tenant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Low acknowledged that many landlords are hurting during the pandemic as well. He noted that the ordinance also offers protections for some commercial property owners: those who own less than 25,000 square feet in San Francisco, for example, can apply for a waiver demonstrating significant financial hardship and move forward with eviction for non-payment by tenants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He hopes, though, that the ordinance will highlight the necessity of keeping tenants in place, especially for larger landlords like Kinokuniya and 3D Investments. The survival of San Francisco’s Japantown, which was established centuries ago, depends on it: “It should incentivize landlords to realize that there’s not a line of tenants that are lined up to take the space,” he said, noting the deep uncertainty of economic recovery ahead without additional federal aid yet in sight. “Let’s try to work with the people that are already there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11846796/could-a-new-sf-commercial-eviction-ordinance-save-japantown","authors":["8617"],"categories":["news_1758","news_24114","news_6266","news_8","news_13"],"tags":["news_195","news_28255","news_27350","news_27504","news_27045","news_21883","news_27701","news_27626","news_23056","news_38"],"featImg":"news_11846803","label":"news"},"news_11843337":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11843337","meta":{"index":"posts_1716263798","site":"news","id":"11843337","score":null,"sort":[1603454480000]},"parent":0,"labelTerm":{"site":"news"},"blocks":[],"publishDate":1603454480,"format":"standard","disqusTitle":"San Francisco Voters to Decide on New Public Housing – and Taxes to Pay for It","title":"San Francisco Voters to Decide on New Public Housing – and Taxes to Pay for It","headTitle":"KQED News","content":"\u003cp>San Francisco voters will decide on two ballot measures next month that would authorize new public housing, as well as a tax to help pay for it all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Dean Preston introduced the measures and says the vision is to create stability for renters who are priced out of the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The vision is that you can be a working class person who lives in San Francisco and pays a reasonable percentage of your income to rent,” he said, “and that you will never be forced out of that unit by an eviction, that you will never have sharp rent increases … and that you have security.” [pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Supervisor Dean Preston\"]'The vision is that you can be a working class person who lives in San Francisco and pays a reasonable percentage of your income to rent, and that you will never be forced out of that unit by an eviction, that you will never have sharp rent increases … and that you have security.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Preston’s call for new government-owned housing comes amid a \u003ca href=\"https://homesguarantee.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">resurgence\u003c/a> of \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZ_WulgST3U\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">national\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://ocasio-cortez.house.gov/gnd/public-housing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">interest\u003c/a> in \u003ca href=\"https://omar.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-ilhan-omar-introduces-homes-all-act-new-21st-century-public-housing-vision\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">public housing,\u003c/a> as well as calls to build permanently affordable housing that’s financed by the government but managed by nonprofits, called “\u003ca href=\"https://www.peoplespolicyproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/SocialHousing.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">social housing\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://sfelections.sfgov.org/sites/default/files/Documents/candidates/2020Nov/20200624_AuthorizingDevelopmentUnderCaliforniaConstitution_Legisla.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Prop K\u003c/a> would authorize up to 10,000 units of new affordable housing that could be owned or operated by the city.
