It’s crazy how many people advocate for rent caps when all it will do is make the housing shortage worse. And making it harder to evict tenants will also make it worse. If you want housing, sign a year lease and dont be a horrible tenant. landlords have to deal with some of the worst people out there. People who destroy their property and who disrupt the lives of other tenants. And it’s only these horrible tenants that use all these ridiculous tenant protection laws as a way to torment the landlord.

And this article makes it seem like California hasn’t done anything which is complete bullshit. They fail to mention the massive ADU initiative that effectively doubled the amount of housing in residential areas. Making things better for the developer and the landlord which will be a thousand times more effective than anything else. Even commercial developments use these ADUs.
