For those in #California: I've reached out to a trusted friend who is a housing activist in #SantaBarbara (and sits on the board of Housing Authority Of The City Of Santa Barbara). This person has not only advocated for #housing #Proposition33 and pointed me to this editorial which they think is spot on (although they do not always agree with the author): https://www.noozhawk.com/peter-rupert-rent-control-is-a-renters-nightmare/
