The Rent Is Too Damn High: The Fight for Prop 10

Published: Aug. 18, 2018, 5 p.m.

Costa-Hawkins, the 1995 law that froze rental control in California, is officially on the chopping block, come November voters will decide whether to allow cities and counties to expand rent control. Prop 10 made it to the ballot through the dedicated work of community organizers and neighbors collecting hundreds of thousands of signatures across the state.\n\nThe Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE) was at the front of this effort. Rene Moya, the Housing Campaign Organizer with ACCE here in LA, joins me to talk about getting on the ballot, common arguments we will need to counter, and what the fight will look like once we repeal Costa-Hawkins.\n\nTo learn more about ACCE: https://www.acceaction.org/\n\nTo learn more about the Los Angeles Tenants Union: https://latenantsunion.org/en/\n\nFor more information on Prop 10: https://voteyesonprop10.org/
