Subject: Rental Housing Inspection Program
City Clerk:
The above program is an insult to rental property owners in your city. It is an invasion of our privacy
and not a proper function of local government. What made us a great nation of freedom is the
willingness of our people and government to restrain from taking from one group, in this case
government, to the distress of another, property owners. This expansion of police powers is a taking.
SLO has the laws it needs to protect the few from the several that do not follow the laws. By placing
this burden on all Landlords to make the few comply, is unreasonable. I have been proud to live in the
City and the County. In later years we acquired some rentals and keep them in great shape. Any
tenants who do not wish to live in our properties are more than welcome to leave and live where they
wish. This law will also increase our costs and the program that you, the government, establish will
increase over time and expand your taking. Those that have power and are unwilling to restrain
themselves know no limit in taking from others.
Please do not take this step and move our City to place that takes freedom from the people and from
those who have invested their life savings into making it a better place to live.
Regards,
John C. Gilbert
