Orozco, Norma From: Qui Vuong < Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2019 12:35 PM To: eComment Subject: 20190521 City Council Meeting and Agenda Item #65A Attachments: 20190511 Space Rent Increase at Bali Hi (20-year history).pdf; 20190401 Bali Hi Resident Petition.pdf; 1Y9A8946.JPG; 1Y9A9221.JPG; 1Y9A8985.JPG; 1Y9A9060.JPG; 1Y9A9122.JPG; IY9A9016.JPG; 1Y9A9181.JPG RE: EMERGENCY RESCUE of Bali Hi, and other senior mobile home parks in Santa Ana; from "Predatory Rent Gouging." Dear Mayor and City Council Members, The senior citizens living on fixed income whom you represent at Bali Hi Senior Mobile Homes Lodge, and so many more all over the city of Santa Ana, are suffering deeply from devastating financial hardship, as well as psychological trauma, from uncertain futures of exhaustion and tragedy, Vulnerable seniors living on fixed income streams with food, medicine, and mortgages to pay,for, among other things besides "Parking Space" rent, should not be preyed upon, and targeted for manufactured homelessness, this way. Please find attached our nearly unanimous signed petition, along with our collective cry for help. The unconscionable parking space rental rate hikes imposed by J&H Asset Property Management, Inc. of Yorba Linda, CA, on these vulnerable tenants this upcoming June I st, and over the past 3 years, speak for thernselves. This property management company, who claims to have power of attorney to represent park owner Clarence C. Humphries Holdings, Inc. of Laguna Niguel, CA (a family -owned corporation with a sterling 3-generation track record of helping the poor, and harboring the elderly living on fixed income) is doing so many things that are incongruous, unjustified, and simply don't make sense. As you can observe from the attached charts compiled from fellow residents, the decades of successful "Space Rent" STABILIZATION at Bali Hi are being wiped out by UNJUSTIFIABLE "Space Rent" ESCALATION, as a result of J&H's inherent conflict of interest, defined as "Percentage of REVENUES COLLECTED." The sizable 288-page investigative report prepared by your own staff would be incomplete, without this unique close-up, and rather telling perspective of the latest 20-year history of rent raises at Bali Hi. Please dig deeper into the facts and figures, and put a stop to this "affordable housing" INJUSTICE. Your action and message will help us get the attention, caring and harmony of the park owner back, once again. "Space Rent Stabilization" have always worked and made sense with park owners and tenants, but not so for exploiters or predators. Bali Hi is prime case and point. Rest assured that what you will be voting on today has nothing to do with RENT CONTROL, but everything to do with ethically responsible RENT PATROL of PREDATORY GOUGING, Please exemplify your respective personal commitment as elected officials to serve your community and to do the right thing. Santa Ana is counting on you to lead by example. Thank you for your consideration. Respectfully submitted, I
