rent control doesnt mean security of tenure in the same way homeownership does. Evictions can still happen.

Honey, I never claimed such a thing. it is your colonizing, land-grabbing, alt-right cohorts here in the Bay who explicitly make that claim.

well i mean people with access to rent control are more fortunate than without. However i doubt anyone thinks they are members of the aristocracy.

Be that as it may, your cohorts are quite happy to make that claimpic.twitter.com/KJ5EeWkbV3

Didnt YIMBY's in SF support the extension on tenants rights and rent control though?

No, organized YIMBY did no such thing. Not only did they not endorse it, their leadership opposed itpic.twitter.com/mXUDrmNF6G

And while Trauss may have flip-flopped on the extension, she oppdoes rent control. In fact, she once characterized it as "neoliberal".

In any event, several of her followers did widely circulated write-ups of Trauss' argument above.

And, in addition to all that,
#YIMBYs also propagandized the hoary old landlord talking point to the effect that rent control prevents new construction. (And, yes, there were exceptions-but per reliable reports, they belonged to a minority faction.)pic.twitter.com/61jbBxVdkK

You're repeatedly citing various folks personal accounts. YIMBY Action has supported the anti-rent gouging bill, Just Cause and more. If you have a question about what YIMBY Action supports, please don't cite members speaking from their personal accounts.

We have 2400+ members. Not every opinion they have is one YIMBY Action supports. Our advocacy focuses on what we call the Core Four: - upzoning - permitting reform - $ for subsidized Affordable - fixing bad incentives
