As an active stakeholder in <br />your community, I support the city's goal to improve the quantity, <br />diversity, and affordability of housing. However, this_cannot:be achieved <br />through studying or adopting,.,rent,control .(aka rent stabilization) and just <br />cause eviction policies. <br />Rent control is a counterproductive policy. It will not produce any new <br />affordable housing or address the city's long-term housing concerns. If <br />adopted, it creates a stagnant market and increases the cost of housing <br />for everyone else. Worse, the unintended consequences are long-term <br />and will eventually deteriorate the condition of housing since rent control <br />often times prevents the owner in making capital improvements on the <br />ostead, I urge you to expand the city's efforts to produce more housing <br />nd promote available resources and programs for the city's renters. I ask <br />tat you focus on these goals and look for ways to partner with the <br />ommunity to ensure renters are aware of resources available to them <br />nd educate rental owners on fair and ethical management practices. <br />I appreciate the city's collaborative approach to provide meaningful, long- <br />term solutions to our region's housing challenges. Thank you for your <br />continued leadership on this important issue. <br />Sincerely, <br />Name Gustavo Camacho <br />
