Question

1. With rising costs of housing in California (and many states), there is a movement to enact more rent controls, such as with California Proposition 21 that expands rent controls to residential properties. Do you think this is a good idea? Why or why not.

Answer 1

Answer - yes, I do think that enacting rent control rules such as with California Proposition 21 is a good idea because according to recent United States census data, there is approximately 60 percent of house rental families in California spend more than 30 percent of their income on rent, where the level at which spending on housing hinders the ability to pay for other necessary things. California is one of the most expensive rental housing in the United States. COVID-19 pandemic also responsible for many job loss in the United States due to this many rental families suffing huge financial problems. Hence enacting rent control rules are very important for tenant families.
