From “Courage for a Change” to “California For All,” @Click_CA has been by my side helping us communicate to millions of Californians and navigate the state through a time of unprecedented challenge. Team Newsom wishes you the best of luck in this next chapter!!
In 2024, California soundly voted against rent control. Specifically, they voted against a referendum that would've allowed local governments to enact rent control for single-family homes, apartments built after 1995, and limit rent increases between tenancies.
Rents dropping across the country…
"[Researchers found] new housing freed up older, cheaper apartments, which, in turn, became occupied by people leaving behind still-cheaper homes elsewhere in the city, and so on... The paper estimates the tower’s 512 units created at least 557 vacancies across the city."
The coalition of LA residents who oppose the Dodger Stadium gondola shut down the Metro board of directors meeting Thursday. They forced the meeting into recess and demanded that officials at minimum allow public discussion on the project. This is a developing story.
City of LA now considering stricter rent control: - Lower rent increase floor from 3% to 2%. - Lower rent increase cap from 8% to 5%. - Eliminate 1%–2% utility increase for landlords who cover gas + electricity. - Use CPI-Less Shelter index (excludes housing = lower increases).
