I strongly oppose Agenda Item #20. This proposal would force housing providers across all cities and all property types in L.A. County to absorb at least three months of unpaid rent before even being allowed to begin the eviction process. Raising the eviction threshold to three months of “fair market value” rent is nothing less…
THE BOTTOM LINE – In California politics, nothing is ever “temporary” — especially when it comes to power. And this year’s Proposition 50 is exactly that — a fight over who controls the political map of the state. On paper, Prop 50 sounds procedural: it would temporarily pause the work of the independent Citizens Redistricting…
Subject Line: Oppose AB 1157 Dear [Legislator’s Name], I am writing to strongly urge you to oppose AB 1157. This bill is not only misguided—it’s dangerous. Rent control has consistently failed everywhere it’s been tried, and AB 1157 threatens to make California’s housing crisis even worse. The truth is undeniable: rent control reduces housing supply,…
AIDS HealthCare Foundation, controlled by Michael Weinstein, has once again initiated a campaign to destroy the protections afforded home-owners, condominium owners, commercial and retail property owners, apartment owners and developers of new apartment construction, heretofore protected by the 1995 Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act. Props 10 and 21 Defeated! Weinstein was the engineer and architect of…
Way back when Governor Wilson was in office, a bill called Costa-Hawkins Fair Housing Act was passed and it protected the property rights of homeowners. The politicians were no longer allowed to pass certain controls and fees against our homes under Costa-Hawkins. Prop. 33 would destroy Costa-Hawkins and all these rights! No wonder single-family property…
PROP. 33 IS A DEEPLY FLAWED SCHEME THAT WILL INCREASE HOUSING COSTS AND BLOCK AFFORDABLE HOUSING! Here’s why you should vote NO on Prop. 33: 1. NOT WHAT IT SEEMS: PROP. 33 IS A TROJAN HORSE THAT OVERTURNS STATE AFFORDABLE HOUSING LAWS Prop. 33 is misleading. The measure would effectively overturn more than 100 state…
If passed by voters in November, Prop. 34 would require certain healthcare providers to spend 98% of their net revenues from the discount prescription drug program on direct patient care and avoid engaging in dishonest conduct. Background: In 1992, the federal government established a program to give certain healthcare providers access to discounted prescription drugs.…
What would you do if you knew the value of your apartment building could drop by 30% to 40% after November of this year? That’s what happened in the state of New York where “vacancy control” is allowed! That’s what could happen in California and what some really “big money people” have planned, if apartment…
In 1995, the Costa-Hawkins Rental Act was passed. It outlawed stealth or illegal roommates. It provided that when a rental unit became vacant, the owner may, at their discretion, re-rent the unit at prevailing market rates. Further, it exempted single-family homes, ADUs Condominiums, new construction and retail commercial units from any form of rent control.…
Why Vote NO on Proposition 33? Harvard, Stanford, and the Rand studies all agree that property controls cause the loss of both housing and jobs! Eliminates homeowner exemptions, giving bureaucrats unlimited power to regulate and assess fees on single-family homes and ADUs. Forces renters out of their homes as owners elect to exit the rental business permanently. It…
