When landlords must compete for <br />tenants, rents decrease. When landlords have ample supply of renters in need of housing, rents increase. Currently there just are <br />not enough housing units to meet the demand and the rent levels reflect this. The city should be laser focused on removing <br />every barrier to housing production to reap the rewards more housing provides its community—more affordable market prices, <br />mobility in housing type and lower rents overall. <br />Thank you for this important discussion and we will continue to be involved. <br />Julie Paule, Regional Representative <br />WMA <br />40335 Winchester Rd. #E-165 <br />Temecula, CA 92591 <br />(951) 704-2427 <br />julie@pauleconsulting.com <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br />
