I am addressing you today with urgency <br />regarding the approval of item 33 for rent control and just cause protections in our city. This is a crucial time for <br />rent stabilization in Santa Ana as many residents are still facing financial challenges and uncertainty due to the <br />global pandemic. Over the past decade we have seen an insurmountable rise in gentrification throughout the city <br />forcing long established businesses and families to be displaced. I urge all council members to vote in favor of <br />the residents and to help us maintain a sense of sanctuary, allowing us to preserve and honor Santa Ana's rich <br />culture and history by ensuring individuals and families can continue to raise their families and conduct <br />business in our community. It is important that we keep community land in community hands and a unanimous <br />vote in favor of rent control and just cause protection would be a step in the right direction for the people of <br />Santa Ana. <br />Thank you, <br />Ruth Linnert <br />
