Dear Honorable Council Members,
We felt hopeful to hear that a vote on real rent stabilization and just cause eviction policy will come before the Council on May 3rd. Seniors, workers, students, middle class families, have been enduring mental stress and economic insecurity due to unjust rent increases, and have feared speaking up for fear of retaliation.
We've been waiting anxiously for this moment for a long time, and urge you in all sincerity, to approve these policies. The ability of generations of Sonoma County families to live without anxiety, and actually begin saving for the future, rests on this. Thank you for your service and your genuine consideration.
