I also "believe it was an attempt by corporate landlords to target candidates favorable to renters in the city."

It took less than a week for the FPPC to demonstrate this was a frivolous complaint.

By the way, the CAA is simply demonstrating more and more failures to live up to its promises to it's members.

Granted Joshua Howard is paid to do what he did. But it appears it was a frivolous complaint let alone unfounded.

I can imagine he is paid a 6 figure salary by the CAA, but it doesn't look like he is getting any productivity other than maybe being a public nuisance. What credibility does Joshua Howard have in this city at this time? And look at this actions impact on his state-wide reputation?

Why do landlords in Mountain View want to be members of this group?
