San Francisco Guardian Election Guide

The biggest ballot issue I'm most nervous that will pass is State Ballot Measure Proposition 98. If people vote yes on this -- it overturns rent control in the state. Sadly the bill is worded so that it's geared torwards protecting homeowners as opposed to renters. And because it's STATE-wide, I imagine there's more homeowners in Calif overall as opposed to renters.

I can guarantee you that if rent control is abolished in San Francisco, landlords (mine included) will raise rent so high that a lot of us will be out on the streets. And that scares the living daylights out of me. I also have a pitbull mix as a pet, which means if I DO have to move to something affordable, many landlords refuse to rent to tenants with pitbulls because of house insurance rules against the breed.

So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE VOTE NO on PROPOSITION 98!!!
