And even then, there is likely 219 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,080 no more than five that could qualify in 220 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,720 Royal Crest and only for a short time. 221 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,679 The majority remain remain unprotected, 222 00:23:49,679 --> 00:23:52,159 still subject to unaffordable increases. 223 00:23:52,159 --> 00:23:54,480 In addition, for those who do not 224 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,960 qualify for those unattainable funding 225 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,720 resources, 226 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,720 are forced to vacate their homes, 227 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,200 corporations like stores for their 228 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,600 benefit by obtaining their homes and 229 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,400 reselling them for a higher profit. We 230 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,320 have one they just got that they're 231 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,919 selling for $210,000. 232 00:24:13,919 --> 00:24:16,240 >> These programs do not stop the root 233 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,400 problem, skyrocketing rents. They leave 234 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,520 us scrambling for aid while park owners 235 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,000 continue to raise rents unchecked. 236 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,000 Worse, they depend on outside funding 237 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,799 that can vanish at any time. That's not 238 00:24:28,799 --> 00:24:30,720 stability. That's false hope. the 239 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,120 temporary moratorum on rent increases 240 00:24:33,120 --> 00:24:36,159 before you allow for development of an 241 00:24:36,159 --> 00:24:40,080 RSO. It's systematic, enforcable, and 242 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,240 fair. It provides certainty for 243 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,640 residents and ensures owners continue to 244 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,840 receive a fair return. It prevents race 245 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,039 to rise rent hikes that could otherwise 246 00:24:51,039 --> 00:24:53,120 occur before permanent rules are 247 00:24:53,120 --> 00:24:55,440 finalized. We don't need temporary 248 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,080 charity. We need structural fairness. 249 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,400 and tonight you can provide it. I 250 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,159 respectfully ask you to adopt the 251 00:25:02,159 --> 00:25:04,400 temporary moratorum on rent increase 252 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,880 including the no pass through owner 253 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:15,830 expenses tonight.

Thank you so much. 308 00:27:39,360 --> 00:27:47,750 >> I am a resident. 309 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,600 » Uh good evening, mayor and council 310 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,520 members. My name is Ricardo and I live 311 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,760 at Royal Crest. You've heard the 312 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,919 argument that a moratorum, I mean, 313 00:27:55,919 --> 00:27:58,159 sorry, a memorandum of understanding 314 00:27:58,159 --> 00:28:00,159 could be a solution. But let's be 315 00:28:00,159 --> 00:28:03,360 honest, anou is a promise. A rent 316 00:28:03,360 --> 00:28:06,399 stabilization ordinance is protection. 317 00:28:06,399 --> 00:28:09,279 Anouou can be written rewritten at any 318 00:28:09,279 --> 00:28:11,679 time by the park owner. It has no 319 00:28:11,679 --> 00:28:14,080 enforcement mechanism. It does not 320 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,360 guarantee caps or on increases. Nor does 321 00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:20,240 it put limits on pass through charges or 322 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,039 a restriction on one increase of one 323 00:28:23,039 --> 00:28:25,520 increase per year. In short, it leaves 324 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,520 all the power in the hands of the very 325 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,159 people who have already raised rents 326 00:28:30,159 --> 00:28:32,799 without restraint. Our homes cannot be 327 00:28:32,799 --> 00:28:35,600 moved. We cannot shop around for a 328 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,320 better deal. Without a binding law, we 329 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,880 have no stability, no security, and no 330 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,640 recourse. Our RSO, even a temporary 331 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,200 moratorum leading to one, creates 332 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,840 balance and ensures fair return for 333 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:53,279 owners, but stability for residents. It 334 00:28:53,279 --> 00:28:55,679 gives this council, not out of town 335 00:28:55,679 --> 00:28:59,120 corporations, the authority to safeguard 336 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,480 Fortuna seniors and families. Plea, 337 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,799 please don't give us a promise. Give us 338 00:29:04,799 --> 00:29:07,120 protection. Please don't give us a 339 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,399 handshake. Give us a law. I respectfully 340 00:29:10,399 --> 00:29:13,039 ask you to adopt the temporary moratorum 341 00:29:13,039 --> 00:29:15,919 on rent increases, including no pass 342 00:29:15,919 --> 00:29:19,039 through owner expenses, tonight.
