The CA state leg works on a stricter timed schedule. Everyone is on recess right now back in home districts.....?
It's almost like we are already aware that legislative action requires frequent and sustained pressure over long timescales or something
Did you not read the rest of what I wrote? What Chiu submitted was not actually passable and he knew it. It was one sentence long.
If it wasn't passable what was the point of it? I assume to gauge support from other legislators and constituents, to put focus on the issue
To win points with tenant base. But it was never passable. Draft something more passable & literally give it to them while they’re on recess
Do you think repealing Costa Hawkins is a good idea or a bad idea?
I think reforming it and Proposition 13 are important components in addressing the statewide housing crisis.
Reform, not outright repeal? What parts do you think should stay in some form?
a straight repeal of either Costa-Hawkins or Prop. 13 would never pass in this state. So you would have to think about the parts that you
*do* want to change that protect the constituencies that you want to protect that would also have some feasibility in passing.
So, for example, I can imagine a constituency you'd want to protect is renters in REO-to-rental single-family rentals, post-foreclosure...
But how would you do that without triggering the all the single-family homeowners throughout the state into opposition?
