Prop 10 threatens California’s ability to fix the affordable housing crisis

09/17/2018 8:45 AM | Margaret Fulton (Administrator)

The most immediate threat to a housing solution is Prop 10, the well-intentioned but flawed rental housing initiative that will be on the ballot this November. If passed, this initiative will make the housing crisis worse, not better. Most importantly, it doesn’t increase the number of affordable housing units in the state, nor does it make it easier to build affordable housing in communities of color. It provides incentives for landlords to convert rental units to condos or short-term vacation rentals, further reducing the number of rental units available drives up costs even higher.
