Subject:Rental Market Proposals
Good Afternoon Council
I am writing to suggest that while we want to have a strong and safe rental community in SLO, that we
don't need to over reach in that sector through the creation of new city positions and new
regulations. Unless you have some data that shows an egregious amount of "Bad Actors" in the
Landlord Rental market, let's expect that they are the exception and not the rule. Rent Control which is
the ultimate goal of this process hasn't worked well in Venice, CA, Santa Monica or San
Francisco. Instead of adding this endeavor onto our budget constrained City, let's take the resources
here you are considering and apply them to building vitality for the downtown business community.
Sincerely
Kathy Freeman Godfrey
