A similar measure was proposed as legislative bill [[AB1506|AB 1506]], filed in 2017, but this failed to pass out of the housing committee in a vote on 11 January 2018.&nbsp;<br/> <br/> The [https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/initiatives/pdfs/17-0041%20(Affordable%20Housing)_0.pdf filing letter] contains text of proposed Act.&nbsp;<br/> &nbsp;

Assemblymember Richard Bloom (D-Santa Monica), sponsor of [[AB1506]] repeal bill:&nbsp;
<blockquote>
''“At the same time, while I understand why some want to put this change on the ballot, it is never ideal to address a complicated issue like this through the initiative process,” Bloom said. &nbsp;“First and foremost, the initiative process is a simple up or down vote that does not allow for any public input, shuts down dialogue amongst stakeholders, and prevents anyone from making changes to address any concerns raised by those impacted by the proposal.''
 
''“Secondly, if there are unintended consequences down the road that need to be fixed, it will require a 2/3 vote of each house of the Legislature – a threshold not easily achieved. &nbsp;For these reasons, something this complicated is better left to the legislative process. AB 1506 remains a vehicle for responsible dialogue and, I hope, legislation that will ease the economic burden that is affecting so many Californians.”<br/> &nbsp;- quoted in&nbsp;''

Paavo Monkkonen @elpaavo<br/> I meant upzoning + rent control, both would be free! and one would even generate $$$

Tenant advocates couldn't even get Costa Hawkins reform out of the policy committee chaired by its coauthor. SB 827 dies if we pair CH reform with it."

It wouldnt be wise to actually couple those bills into 1 legislation. Right wing Homeowner associations are stronger than crazy peeps with blogs."
