AUG-5-2811 13:17 FROM: TO:17146476956 P.3/3 <br />Our tenants are blue collar workers. They belong to the working class (thc class that <br />the government officials claim to he on their side), it is hard for them already to pay <br />the monthly rent as it is. Sometimes they have to sublease rooms in their apartments in <br />order for them to meet their monthly obligations and at the same time be able to feed <br />their families and send their children to school. How can we raise their rent (as you <br />are telling us to do) every year? This would translate into an increase of $150 in their <br />monthly rent every venr. These people are not going to be able to pay that. As a result <br />this option is out. The only other option that we landlords have is to defer <br />maintenance. This results in our buildings looking bad, which in turn makes the city <br />looking bad with further negative consequences that I hope it is not difficult for you to <br />understand. <br />Our offices are not as elegant as yours. Our furnishings are much older than yours. <br />Our buildings are not as impressive as your City Hall. Nevertheless, your finances are <br />continually on the brink of breakage (at least that is what you always tell us). <br />Therefore you always ask us the citizens (businesspeople and working class) to pay <br />more and more every year, <br />Your letter dated July 26, 2013 and signed by Maria D. lluizar, is inviting us to come <br />to your August 5 meeting at the Council Chamber. Your letter just reached us in our <br />office, flow can we come and see you and express our opinions with such a short <br />notice? We are trying to phone your offices so we can get a fax number for Ms. <br />Huizar and fax to her our response. I. hope that we can reach you in time. <br />Sincer y, <br />Leououkeris, <br />Real estate broker, developer, apartment building owner.
