Oct 2018

have reviewed from the comments of others in this thread, and reading the proposition in full, I am supporting it.

There is a lot of misunderstanding on this proposiion.

For one thing it does NOT change anything for peopole who currently live in a rental where there is rent control. In other words there rent will NOT go up because of this. What it does is expand rent control throughout the state, and limit the amount a landlord can increase rent based on the local rent control board.

It isn't a complete solution, but it will help renters in communities that currently don't have rent control prevent exorbedent increases

For vacant or new construction, that is unoccupied rentals, the landord can set the price to whatever they want, but to current tenents and renters they can't do that, and they set a cap on the maximum increase in rent they can charge

It is a reasonable first step.

I will edit my post above to take out labor unions, who actually support Proposition 10

Thanks
