‘Extreme’ rent control could be coming to California soon

[bodecea]

Rent control will be coming to every state. Even small towns are seeing house prices and most importantly rent going through the roof. No cities are immune.

I would also bet new type housing will be coming out similar to the tiny house revolution. You'll see tiny apartments and tiny hotels like they have in Japan. Just large enough to live in. Something has to give because families with children are the ones at most risk of having to sleep on the street.

Let me get this straight: You believe that rent control actually works? Could you point out some examples where this happened?

What needs to give is all the government regulations states put in the way of new home constrution. Of course, the lib solution is to make everyone suffer.

Prop 13 already does the same for home owners......stay and your property taxes are kept reasonable with reasonable increases....move and they jump up to market rate.

New York City did just fine.


The problem when real estate becomes too expensive , regular people/workers can’t afford to live in the city .

So why should that be landlords problems?

Yes. They want city-town services . Who’s going to provide them.

California: Housing is way too expensive we need rent control and subsidies!

Also California: You know our high cost housing issues? We should add 30-50 thousand to the cost of a new home.

California, land of the mandatory solar panels

That state is run by morons,

That state is run by morons,

2nd highest life expectancy, 5th largest economy in the world among nations. The high costs of living are due to extremely high demand and low supply which would go against every claim that people are fleeing CA in droves.

Easy to see why cons dislike CA, it shames every red state.

No, rent control may be coming to commie states, but not most.

As a landlord of 25 years, I can assure you that limiting our income only limits our ability to maintain and upgrade our rental units and properties. When government is able to control what somebody wants for their product or services, then it's only a matter of time before government controls the price of more and more products and services.

We landlords have no social obligation. I don't owe anybody affordable rent simply because of what they can or cannot afford. I have product and service, I am asking X for my product and services, and you have the option to accept or decline my offer. It's just like taking a job for minimum wage.

If you don't like what landlords are charging for rent, then by your own Fn house.

This is how it works. They limit the income. The house goes to hell because the Landlord no longer can finance the improvements necessary. The Tenant then reports the problems to the City/State. The City/State send notice to the Landlord that he must improve the property. The Landlord files bankruptcy. The house goes vacant. Meth heads and squaters take it over and the neighborhoods decline and empty out.

Yep, now that's a plan!

The only answer is public housing. Submit.

California is trying to pass a law that every owner of deeded property must allow an illegal to live in the property for free. The owner does not have to move out but must share at least one bedroom. Sharing in nice and nice feelings is what it's all about

Rent control ?? Is that anything like telling someone who owns a property, that if they rent it, then they will have to make it available to the poor family on government assistance ??

Let me see now, so you rent to the government dependent/democrat voting family, where as the government makes it as easy as can possibly be for a single mom type family with say 4 to 5 kids (some teens), to rent your place off the tax payers dime, but then what happens next is that they totally destroy the home within two years or less, and destroy the entire neighborhood within 5 years or less.

Then the government and the renters take their hellish tornado somewhere else.

This bullcrap cuts across all lines these days, so please leave race out of it.

People trying to protect their communities, cultures, and assets is understandable always. The government has some splaining to do about how it has gotten away with this type of tyranny over the years now.

Rent control is where the government tells you how much you can charge for rent, even if that's below the cost of maintaining the property. Typically the government never allows landlords to raise their rents. As a result, landlods stop maintaining their property or even abandon it, and it becomes unfit for human habitation.

These people are greedy and need rent control

They are not as greedy as deadbeat moochers who want an apartment at below market rates.

The low supply is completely the result of government regulations. The California government has the ability to improve the situation simply be rescinding all it's fucked up limitations on the supply.

Wrong. Why do you imagine the city arrested landlords who refused to maintain their buildings?

What does that have to do with a city having rate limits on rent?

If you think they are greedy, rent control isn't the solution. The solution is to not rent from people you consider greedy.

Sure, the people decided they want new schools, so they vote for a huge property tax increase to pay for them. If rent is frozen and a landlord has to payout thousands of dollars for the new tax increase, what is that landlord supposed to do?

Most of what I collect in rent goes to things like taxes, house insurance, water and sewer, mortgages, repair and maintenance. Whatever is left over goes to pay the loans I took out for major things like roofs and furnaces. If I have no loans to payoff, I use the money for improvements.

After they pass this monstrosity, California will become an empty wasteland. The current stock of housing will decay until the entire state is a slum, and anyone in the middleclass who can will leave for more sensible states.

‘Extreme’ rent control could be coming to California soon

A costly and potentially bruising campaign is taking shape over rent control in California, with deep-pocketed Los Angeles activist Michael Weinstein bankrolling a proposed November ballot initiative to repeal a state law that sets tight limits on the type of housing covered under local rent control laws.

“Nobody’s fighting for the tenant,” said Weinstein, president of AIDS Healthcare Foundation, who partly funded the Proposition 61, the 2016 fight over prescription drug costs that became the most expensive initiative that year, with total spending at roughly $130 million.

As California confronts a historic housing crisis, low- and middle-income renters are being pushed out, even in cities with some form of rent control.

The disruption is fueling the push by Weinstein and other tenants rights’ activists to overturn a state law that prevents cities and counties from adopting strong rent control laws.​

Great way to help the poor - make sure no more rentals are ever built in the State.

Excellent...... California deserves every left wing policy they vote for..... as you said, California will be like a feudal kingdom...the rich will live in heavily guarded estates, while the poor live in the wastelands....like Mad Max......

Maybe, but I don't recall Mad Max having any poop maps.
