Helping our neighbors is one of the core foundations of American
life. Whenever possible we want to find ways to ease the burden
of those around us. Which is why so many people feel inclined to
support policies such as “rent control.” Stability in housing
pricing sounds like a positive solution.
The problem is — sustainable legislative solutions are never that
simple.
In a sports game, a time-out is a pause in play. Sometimes a
referee calls a time-out to review a play on the field, but
primarily time-outs are called by a coach or a player to allow a
team to halt the game to develop a strategy of what to do next.
In Santa Maria, WMA parkowners called a crucial time-out that put
on hold stakeholder meetings to revisit the citywide model lease
agreement — the negotiated alternative to a 2019 mobilehome park
rent control threat.
