Orozco, Norma <br />From: Daisy Paez <daisypaez@ymail.com> <br />Sent: Tuesday, October 05, 2021 2:02 PM <br />To: eComment <br />Subject: PLEASE Put An End to American Property Ownership Abuse <br />Dear Who It May Concern, <br />I am the proud, 33yr old daughter of two of Santa Ana's best Apartment Owners. My parents currently own two <br />small apartment buildings located in North Santa Ana, consisting of less then 8 units each. I am not only shocked <br />but disillusioned with the city's continuous attacks on my parents, all their years of hard work, and their basic rights <br />as business owners in the current housing industry. I was born and raised in Santa Ana, CA so I feel even more <br />deeply affected by my city's current stance against housing industry providers and its gross attempts to over -govern <br />& over -control my family's business. <br />Via this email I wish to express my disgust & strong opposition to the proposed "City of Santa Ana Community <br />Preservation, Rent Stabilization, Tenants' Rights Act" that appears on the October 5th city council agenda. <br />My parents are of Mexican decent, yet they came to the US legally, worked hard, made sacrifices, and were able to <br />build a life for themselves and their two daughters. They have achieved the American Dream, yet their current <br />lifestyle, their retirement and our inheritance is being attacked & put in harms way, and for what? Why is Santa Ana <br />adamant at portraying my parents as the rental industry villains? Ever since Covid hit my family has lived in a state <br />of worry and chaos. The prolonged eviction bans has caused our tenants to feel entitled to act however they please <br />since they believe they can't be evicted, and for the most part are correct. Our apartment buildings are literally being <br />over -populated & destroyed right before our eyes. My family's mental health. physical business, and future are being <br />affected at this very moment & it's not right. <br />Why are tenants being given so much so easily while my own family's rights are overlooked? My parents and other <br />apartment owners are NOT THE VILLAINS. I am tired of hearing this rhetoric because it simply is not true. My family <br />and our business is being put in jeopardy, and I ask, what about our livelihoods? <br />Don't we matter as residents and business owners in the city of Santa Ana? What about OUR VOICE? <br />As Santa Ana residents we implore our city representatives reconsider the proposed "City of Santa Ana Community <br />Preservation, Rent Stabilization, Tenants' Rights Act." It is severely flawed and punitive against rental -housing <br />providers. For these reasons and those highlighted above, I respectfully ask that the city take no further action on <br />this matter until such time as the city can engage in additional study and engage in discussions with rental housing <br />providers in the city. <br />PLEASE Put An End to American Property Ownership Abuse TODAY! <br />Sincerely, <br />Daisy Paez <br />Sent from my iPhone <br />11 <br />
