We're full. You don't have to go home, just go away.

Inks, you wrote: "Rental housing isn't designed to be a permanent home for every single person. People come and people go."
MV has the highest percentage of rentals in the county. Without rent control, there will be a lot of turnover. Is that the city we want to live in? Where most of the population is transient?
Not me.

Housing types not just housing but types.
Small 1 bedroom cottages, bedroom with bath on second floor, small yard no car parking near central area or good transit/options.
Flats with good private shared space.
Basement space that can be a income suite or not.
Lofts or housing units above the shops. Backyard units, above the garage units and private entrance room rentals with bath.
Preferably near train, shuttle and public tranist points. This includes BRT.

The problem was created by relentless growth. Is MV going to keeping "growing" till it chokes?

Does anyone actually think that Pat Showalter or Ken Rosenberg are going to do anything to protect tenants from landlords after landlords secretly bankrolled their election with some $100,000 in dark money?
