I urge you to defeat the proposed Santa Ana ordinance and throw your support to Federal <br />legislation of rent subsidies. <br />It is wrong to place the burden of rent subsidies upon the shoulders of the rental housing <br />industry. Housing might be a Right,, but it is also a Commodity, and should not be confiscated <br />from its producers. It is a product created by construction or purchase, individual savings, time <br />and energy. It is also the sole livelihood of many lower income and elderly people. <br />Please consider the needs of the many fine renters who do not cause problems and never face <br />eviction. Evictions are a necessary tool for protecting their safety from crime and from <br />destruction of their quality of life. Further, if non-paying renters are not evicted, the ensuing <br />reduction in rental income means less repairs. Those same, fine, responsible renters wind up <br />living in deteriorated properties. <br />I attach two printouts form the Internet posted by the National Low Income Housing Coalition. <br />Sincerely, <br />�Mia Araiza <br />
