VOTE NO!!!

If you need to debate this, then you do not understand that taking private property rights from people is WRONG.

Re: "stop" There's that great conservative dedication to debate and rational inquiry. Maybe someone's right to maximizing their profit isn't worth more than someone else's right to shelter?

@LOL: There is no "right" to shelter when that shelter belongs to someone else. The "right" lasts only as long as the contractual agreement to occupy it for payment.

If I decide to move out of my condo and rent it, it's my property, my rules. Same goes for a mother-in-law house in the backyard. Absolutely no one but me has a right to determine who lives in it and for how long.

I will be voting NO. If Costa Hawkins is repealed, I will not make my property available to the rental market except perhaps for short-term AirBnB type rentals.

The only thing right about you is that you are wrong with what you are saying.

Step back from the keyboard and stop typing.

Every time you are proven wrong with what you say, you just change the subject.

You sure remind me a lot of Evan Ortiz. Another person who said "He has to protect his people"


And when are you going to start a list of all your millionaire elitist friends who want rent control everywhere, yet will not contribute $1 to the down payment to purchase some of these apartment buildings for the low income people.

Why does Mayor Siegel need to live in a $2 million dollar house in Old Mtn. View when he could sell that house and use that money as a down payment to buy one of those apartment buildings that is going to be razed? Siegel sure is selfish living in such a maximized house when all he needs is a 1 bedroom apartment to live in. Just think about all the good he would be doing with his own money for a change.

That's just your opinion because you value it over people having a place to live. Just because you assert that your silly "property rights" override someone else's right to shelter doesn't make it so, it's just a facet of your weird libertarian cult. At least be honest about it.

How would passage of State Proposition 10 affect tenants and landlordsin Mountain View? Would the city's rent control law automatically extend to (1) rental units (in triplexes or larger) added after February 1995, and (2) the base rent for new tenants (i.e., no decontrol on turnover)?

Awesome Debate! I thought the opposition side made stronger points about rent control scaring away new construction but both sides were articulate.

Gonna be a helluva close vote in November.
