25. NO ON PROP 10!!!

Prop 10 Is Bad For Renters
“Tens of thousands of renters, including seniors and others on fixed incomes, could be forced out of their apartments and communities under Prop 10, which allows wealthy corporate landlords to turn apartments into condos and short-term vacation rentals. It will increase the cost of renting and make it even harder to find affordable housing.”

~ Alice Huffman, President, California State Conference NAACP

THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE SAYS no on PROP 10!!

By suppressing the supply of homes through restrictive zoning and other means, local government officials have done more than most to plunge California into the current housing crisis. Proposition 10 would entrust another vast swath of housing policy to the very same officials — and probably yield similar results.

California’s housing shortage is often said to show that the state is a “victim of its own success,” namely its booming economy and employment. This analysis requires ignoring the state’s distinct failure to produce housing for the people who live and work here, which has saddled it with the fewest homes per person on the United States mainland. That, in turn, has led to superlative-defying increases in the cost of housing.

Rapidly rising rents are the most pernicious symptom of the shortage, contributing in the worst cases to evictions and homelessness. Stopping or slowing rent increases by fiat is therefore a viscerally appealing response. Enter Prop. 10, a November ballot initiative asking voters to lift California’s long-standing limits on local rent control laws, freeing San Francisco and other cities to extend price ceilings to more of their housing stock.

Prop. 10 would repeal the 1995 Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act, which protects properties built that year or later from rent control. The law also prevents cities with preexisting rent control laws from extending them to newer units; San Francisco’s ordinance, for example, remains limited to housing built before 1980. And Costa-Hawkins exempts single-family homes from rent control while guaranteeing property owners the right to raise rents to market value when units are vacated.
