Daly’s Draconian Renters Relief Package Passes - Mayor veto coming
It’s basically on Beven Dufty and Sophie Maxwell who does not have to vote for now…to make sure it does not end up in a veto-proof vote. I have no problem with certain aspects of rent control (although there’s a decent argument that it hurts more than it helps) - but this measure weights all the burden, including the burden of proof on one end of the population so completely I cannot believe it’s even legal. Sane people do not just think that a tenant who opts to work half time - or ends up with half their income coming from under the table is not going to apply for a reduction in rent and get it - with no recourse on the property owners part…uh, where’s the sanity in that?
Oh yeah, it’s a Daly proposal what was I thinking…calling for sanity.
