2020 is a Presidential election year. There will be a primary moved up from June to March. Is that the election date the landlords and their cohorts wish to use? They have 180 days to circulate their petition. Time's up in October. No one (except landlords and sleazy politicians) should sign.

Hopefully the percent of home owners in MV will increase from low 40% with all these apartment to condo conversions. 53% pro rent control number is not that impressive considering 60% of people in MV are renters.

Measure V and rent control for Mountain View is here to stay and the next victory for renters across all of California will be the repeal of the Costa Hawkins Act in November! Don't Sign the Sneaky Repeal petition in Mountain View and Vote Yes on Prop 10 in November!

The editorial board of the Voice, what a joke you are.

You did not cover the Mountain View Tenants Coalition in the same way that you did this recent initiative. In fact you tried to squash any truth that people where saying about what was in Measure V, and you never once posted anything about the contents of it to the public.

To this day we still do not know where all the money came from to fund Measure V. At least 2 polling's where done, or where the money came to pay for their signature gathers and what happened when they said they had enough signatures and did not the professionals. Why did they do it and again-who paid for it? Makes no sense.

The Voice ran a hit piece against 1 landlord just weeks before the 2016 election so as to foment hatred towards landlords and to have voters pass Measure V. Never mind that the Voice sat on that story for several months before running it so they could get the most impact.

The Voice does not have the moral high grounds on this issue. Calling for a honest debate, what a joke you are. You are a pure advocate who pushed this. Not one of your employees lives in Mtn.View yet you think your are smarter than most most people and you can them how to vote on issues. None of you have to suffer any negative consequences to our city because none of you live here.

Voice, editorial board, in your "honest debate" scenario, what do you dislike like about Measure V?

What would you change in Measure V?

Start the debate!

Otherwise, you are just the pot calling the kettle black.

Yes, exactly. My encounter with a woman representing this group, who was sitting outside Safeway on Rengstorff, is when I pointed out their sneaky clause about the 3% vacancy rate, she flipped the vacancy rate statement in the opposite direction. When I told her she was wrong, and lying, she said I had to read the entire document (no I didn't) and started throwing papers around the table and became visibly angry.

My current landlord/management company is of the ethos of prop v too costly (management company is a proud member of the California Apartment Association). The management company's behavior in managing my building is teaching me the importance of standing up to bullies and not letting them get away with treating renters -- you know, humans -- like dirt.
