It seems Animal Control and Welfare Commission is trying to pass measures requiring landlords to rent to responsible pet owners.
Currently the live release rate of pets in San Francisco animal shelters in 2008 is at 87%. That's very good considering that SF isn't exactly pet friendly.
I consider myself a responsible pet owner and I completely understand how difficult it is to find a rental apartment that allows dogs, let alone large breed ones. I agree that landlords should have the option to rent to people with pets based on how responsible the pet owner is. But it shouldn't be a legislated measure. Not everyone likes pets and some people are allergic to animals. A measure like this will only cause more grievances between landlords and renters.
