“This is inspired by people who live here, who rent here and who work here,” said Linda Goldman, a member of Faith in Action and a resident of Redwood City.
Officials count signatures for a proposed rent-control ordinance on Tuesday, May 21, 2024 at the Redwood City Library. The Redwood City Fair and Affordable Housing Ordinance proposes tenant protections such as rent control and limits on landlord evictions that advocates say are stronger than protections currently in place.
Residents watch as officials count signatures supporting a proposed rent-control ordinance on Tuesday, May 21, 2024 at the Redwood City Library. The Redwood City Fair and Affordable Housing Ordinance proposes tenant protections such as rent control and limits on landlord evictions that advocates say are stronger than protections currently in place.
Staff from the city clerk’s office counted the petitions at the Redwood City Library while supporters watched. The city has 30 days to verify the residency of those who signed the petitions before the city council will vote on whether the proposal will be on the ballot in November, said Matt Alexander, a spokesperson for Faith in Action.
Opponents of the policy maintain that rent control is not a solution to a lack of affordable housing and that Redwood City already has sufficient tenant protections.
