> ...fight against Prop 10. Sadly, Californians bought the corporate propaganda hook, line and sinker, and voted it down by a whopping 61.7 percent, saying “no” to rent control. Californian here. This statement is true only if 'corporate propaganda hook' means the recommendations of most reputable economists. There's ample evidence that rent control not only reduces housing stock but also fails to help people most in need of assistance. California has a serious housing crisis--there are people living under bridges in my town--but Prop 10 was not the answer. I hope the No vote will force some rethinking about a more comprehensive solution. I predict that proposition would pass by a large majority.
