I don't support the limitations on no-cause evictions this bill has, but I like the rent increase cap.

About time renters had some control over landlords! Landlords have always had the upper hand

It won't create more affordable housing, so it won't fix the root of the problem.

Not now that the rent is out of reach for many. 2 yrs ago a single person making $10.50 an hour could find a place for $600 a mo. Now making $12.50 hard to find a place affordable even at $900 a mo.

The rent would NOT LOWER ENOUGH for those who need cost affected living. $1200 - $1500 a month rent is still way high for seniors and low income rentals. It should be $700 - $900 MAX. AND not be raise

Teresa Rodriguez

Watch all of the landlords put their rentals up for sale because tenants and squatters have more rights than the property owner

Richard Dillard

this may decrease the amount of affordable housing by causing owners withdraw from the rental market. It is only a small amount of owners that increase rents drastically.

Doug Leeds

This will cause less affordable housing to be available and likely encourage many landlords to stop renting.

John Philo

Deposits will go up dramatically and fewer properties will be available. Enjoy!

Parking and city revenue out weigh the small gain in revenue the business say they receive.

Gary Dehm

Simply, they're unfair to other businesses. Each space represents potential income for one or multiple businesses. If parklettes are to remain, businesses should file an application per space with an associated annual fee, subject to increase rent cost/year. They cause more problems than they solve.

Pat Glandon

I don't shop downtown or eat due to lack of parking.

Since nobody sits outside in the cold of winter, why not remove all the outdoor eating areas at least in the winter??

Jay B Lane

Nobody is sitting outside in the winter months and Street dining should be limited May - October months. Also what is not needed is 4 season dining in these structures (walls. Heaters, etc) when restaurants have room inside. If eateries don't have room inside, shouldn't be taking public space

A few circles around the area, I always find a spot. It’s not any different than any other city. I like seeing people enjoying the outdoors. That’s why we live here.
