That may have been the desire (to get more $$$ to the government) but
according to one of the comments on that tweet and it hasn't been in
effect since 2014.

"The ordinance, written by our socialist supervisors, was struck down
by the district court."



" The Levins, along with other landlords, challenged the ordinance in
federal court, arguing that it was unconstitutional. In October 2014,
U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer ruled in favor of the landlords,
stating that the city’s ordinance crossed a constitutional line by
imposing such substantial financial burdens on property owners. He
noted that while the ordinance aimed to address a public issue—the
housing shortage—it unfairly placed the cost on individual landlords.

As a result of this ruling, the ordinance was struck down, and
landlords were no longer required to make these large relocation
payments under that specific law."
