I went to a council meeting last week and one of the agenda items was rent control. Rent control is a hot button topic now and it looks like it may eventually mirror Los Angeles and Northern CA areas. The tenant group has gathered signatures to try and get the issue on the November ballot.
Wondering if there is anyone else in San Diego who has an opinion?

It is not specific to San Diego.
What the ballot initiative specifies is to repeal the Costas-Hawkins bill that provided several protections from rent control for the entire state of California. Some of these protections were vacancy decontrol, exclusion from rent control for single family homes & condominiums. A bill to accomplish the repeal was rejected by the state legislature, so the supporters are trying to get it accomplished now by a ballot initiative.
While the legislature has learned that unlimited rent control is not a good idea, the liberal crowd that wants something for nothing still won't give up. On the other hand, the shortage of housing in CA, which has brought a windfall to all of us landlords, poses a real problem to poor people. In Los Angeles, the problem has been realistically addressed by strong encouragement of building new housing, but elsewhere, the measure will be very attractive to tenants who simply want rent increases stopped.

I don’t think the liberals understand that restricting new builds results in a shortage of capalist pigs (mostly retail investors who have worked & saved their $) willing or able to build places where the spongers can live. One thing my wife & I remember about our visit to SD is all the well dressed beggars. then I wonder why all those Californians who voted for or allowed the laws to pass are now moving to TX...we need to build a wall on the west.... --166.137.xxx.xx |

The largest rental property owner in Los Angeles is "The City of Los Angeles". No matter when the property was built or put into service, nothing the City owns is under any form of RENT CONTROL. So the City packs in Section 8 and HUD tenants, telling the State and Fed's how much their units should rent for, they get That High Rent, PLUS, a 25% commission for passing a check for the tenants Section 8 rent from the State to the Landlord, themselves. What A SCAM.
My units are under rent control and I can only raise rents 3% per year. They City has identical property's and can get Market Plus their 25% commission. On top of that they have no inspections to comply with and though the book at me for not giving drunks new carpets every 4 years and paint every 3 years. --47.156.xx.xx |

Keep in mind that this ballot initiative does NOT impose any rent control. It dissolves two issues that protected landlords from local municipal rent control. These two protections were enacted state-wide by the legislature to combat local rent control in Los Angeles, San Francisco and some of the small ultra-liberal communities such as Berkeley and Santa Monica.
I predict that the ballot initiative will pass because there are so many poor people who want cheaper rent, thinking that this will give it to them. After a discrete period of time, I expect that the legislature will restore the protections as they were.

On June 7th in the province of Ontario there is strong possibility that Doug Ford leader of the Conservative party in Ontario is going to win a strong majority which means there is no going to no consultation with the other two left wing parties in the province. Doug Ford the brother of the late Rob Ford has stated that he going to end rent control in the entire province of Ontario. When they brought in rent control in the province of Ontario in 1975 there were wage and price where a few years later they dropped the wage and price controls but rent controls. There are two ways to destroy rental housing. One bomb it or bring in rent control where over time the results will be same. What about the government owned rental units. Why do they treat rent control as poison. Why not bring all the rental units under rent control then ask the unions if they are interested in wage and price controls. When you ask a socialist where socialism works one of them said do not insult my party. It sounds like Kolaks in Russia where they forced out private agriculture. The collective farms never worked. Fight this legislation tooth and nail. Organize with all the landlords associations. Ask the tenants why in rent control areas rents are significantly higher then the free market areas. Are tenants really better off with rent controls if they end paying higher rents along with worse rental units. The supply and demand rules can not ignored. Rent control never worked anywhere in the world then why is rent control going to work in San Diego. Here some of tenant advocacy chairs are actually home owners where they do not know their ramshackles from a hole in the ground. --184.147.xx.xx |

I thought something like rent control would come to CA - one solution is for LLs to separate out all utilities and let tenant pay their own utilitis - no master billing. Have already installed separate water meters for each unit. Maybe go AIRbnb or corporate 30 day leasing? --174.65.xx.xx |
