        I know there’s good and bad to this measure but living here in Ca, something needs to be done because in the Bay Area, paying 3-5k per mo for a 2 bedroom apart is damn ridiculous

        Rent control has been a disaster. Will only make it worse. Move

        I was born and raised in San Francisco, and studied at UC Berkeley. Rent control sucked. Horrible failure.

        Another misguided approach that will assure that less housing will be built and made available to Californians. Does the presences of millions of illegals increase demand and reduce supply of affordable housing? Do onerous regulations and zoning reduce supply? You betcha.

        There is no rent control without a new layer of government bureaucracy, rent control board, mediators, inspectors, etc. ..... taxes, taxes, taxes. Leftists, who advocate government expansion and interference, are crossing their fingers and hoping.

        Exactly! These people want their rent to be lower, yet don't think about the extrinsic factors and their impact.

        California rents are insane with respect to cost of living, a lot of money has entered the state through foreign investors and driven both the cost of purchasing and the cost of renting through the roof.

        If it wasn’t so damned hard to build housing around here, we wouldn’t need short-sighted band-aids like rent-control.

        Government controls won't do shit. Removing millions of illegals will open up low rent housing for the lower and middle classes.

        Derp. It isn't "millions of illegals" currently paying north of $2k/mo for a studio apt in the Bay area. Removing the people that grow your food, in the central valley, will do exactly fuck-all to "open low rent housing" in SF/Oakland/San Jose. clueless.

        Oh really? I guess you missed the single family houses that have been jam packed with multiple families of illegals that are all over southern and central CA. You're right, I'm not talking about apartments in silicon valley, but this article was about housing throughout CA.
