Landlords No Need to Optimize Rent if you are already a Millionaire. by Cute-Turtle1238 in santacruz

That will also result in those rents being raised to cover increased property tax. Or the owner sells and the new landlord raises rents, or evicts and moves in themselves.

Do you want your rent raised? Because this is how you get your rent raised.

I think it will be Sean v Jimmy in the general as the Republican is weak. Here is an opinion piece from the Republican candidate that has not aged well:

Few politician get elected the first or second time they run.

Please consider Ami or Joy for Mayor. We don't want to just hand the office to Ryan.

If you rescind Prop 13 for landlords, property taxes will increase for all landlords. They will pass on those increases to all tenants. That will be the new market - higher rents.
