The cities I know like New <br />York, Cleveland Chicago and Detroit have all tried rent control with the <br />good intent that it will help low income families. In the end these cities <br />have found that rents were not curbed and in fact the rents in New York <br />Cities are the highest in the nation. In California rent control has not <br />reduced rents in San Francisco or St Monica two cities highlighted by <br />council. Plus the cost to implement such a program. The city does not <br />have unlimited funds. The money would be better spent with first time <br />home buyers loans for down payments then on a program that has been <br />proven not to work. <br />Carl Benninger <br />1829 W Garry Ave, Santa Ana, CA 92704 <br />1 <br />
