We can turn this forum into a grassroots effort to defeat rent control and other bad policies
AB 1482, which caps annual rent increases at seven percent plus inflation, passed just before a key deadline earlier this year. Its companion bill, AB 1481, which would have barred baseless evictions, faltered and disappeared without a vote.
Now Assemblymember David Chiu, author of AB 1482, is essentially combining the two with newly amended bill text.
This guy is a menace.

Asian politicians love rent control when Asian voters hate rent control. It’s an interesting research topic for PhD student. Is there anything hidden from the public?

Do not vote anyone who does this nonsense !
The eviction is the only way left to a landlord to get his home back from a tenant. I would have lost my home to a tenant, after giving them lowest rent in bay area.
CA is going insane…Change the government. If not, change the state…
Move!
I have a petition to recall Newsom. He has gone against the will of the people. Gray Davis was booted, Gavin is next. Stand and fight, don’t leave.
Worse than rent control, his elimination of suspension of bad kids… Public schools are doomed.

In the bay area, you’re grossly outnumbered. You can see it in voting by county. The central valley is your friend in terms of voting against stuff like that. If SF could do its own thing, they’d have insane rent control never allow eviction.

Rent control and crazy appreciation are different sides of the same coin. Can’t have one without the other in a democracy.

Cool. The pro-parental rights people are ready to join you in the fight to give Newsom the boot.

elt1 said"I have a petition to recall Newsom."
I’ve been told there are multiple petitions going around. Do you have the official ballot measure one?
Yes from the Republican Party.
even as someone left of center, i would agree the CA state dem apparatus has swung too far left. Both the school discipline stuff and the rent control is unbelievable. It’s why in the last elections I voted almost straight republican at the state level and straight dem at the federal level.

I had always assumed that public schools have to accept any student, regardless of their track record and cannot expel them unless the student has done a mass shooting. So I am surprised that there is now a bill spelling that out.
I know of a case at a (public) high school in Santa Cruz where a disturbed kid has threatened other kids that he will find a way to get to the (locked up) guns in his grandma’s house… concerned parents posting on social media… to be followed by home visits by school officials, urging them to stop posting.
Thank God there are private schools, not subject to those government ideas.

I thought that they got moved from school to school or that there might be special schools where the kids go who are in “detention.” But if they hit a teacher, they should indeed be suspended. Having no repercussion at all is dangerous.
Wow. And when something happens, they’ll be liable… Or really we will as the taxpayers. Ouch.
