Orozco, Norma From: A Cabello -Valencia <cabelloariana2@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2021 4:01 PM To: eComment Subject: Rent Comment As a Santa Ana resident, student, and worker, we have the right to give opinions on rent in our city, and they must be considered. Santa Ana has a rent crisis, if you live in this city, then you can understand this statement. Santa Ana has more Hispanic/latinx residents than other cities, we are classified as low income, and about 50% of federal money goes to the police department. It is the job of the City, the Mayor, councils, and more to provide shelter to us as residents of Santa Ana. Homelessness is a big issue I'm this city and you as workers must do something to overcome this issue. Rent must NOT increase just because the landlords have the power to do so. We as tenants, we have the rights to have shelter without being worried if we will be able to pay next month. An increment in rent should not be considered when there are so many barriers for us as immigrants, low income individuals, and Santa Ana residents. No queremos terminar en la calle o quedarnos sin comer porque no tenemos para pagar las dos cocas. Como graduada de la universidad es inaudito que no pueda tener un trabajo estable a pesar de mis aiios de educacion. Educacion que no me puede dar dinero suficiente para pagar una renta que es excesiva incluso con una educacion. ZImaginate que dificil es pagar renta para alguien que no puede tener un mejor trabajo? Exijo como residente de Santa Ana and demand as a US citizen who represents my community, to provide a rent control in my city. People placed in power cannot take advantage of other just because they can. Protect us and give more money to cover our necessities, the police department in this city is not a necessity; Food , shelter, and health care is what we need. Respectfully, Ariana Cabello, BS
