I am filled with awe and gratitude for those who have done so much, some with the ultimate <br />sacrifice, to protect this democracy and our human rights. <br />And my heart is also heavy for the work that is yet to begin. <br />Tonight at your meeting I ask that you adopt as an emergency ordinance SB 1482, recently signed into law by Governor <br />Newsom. I know you are aware of the nearly epidemic lack of affordable housing, regularly occurring economic <br />evictions and nearly non-existent renter protections that exemplify our current situation. Some of you very recently in <br />the last election talked about this issue as your concern for this community. Now is your chance to put your money <br />where your mouth is. <br />I am blessed to be a homeowner and have lived in Redwood City for nearly 20 years and I see my community being <br />seriously and negatively impacted by greedy landlords, greedy developers, with no end in sight. SB 1482 is but a start, <br />and there is already evidence of landlords doing what they can now to get around its protections set to begin January 1, <br />2021. Please adopt its protections now. <br />With gratitude for your service, <br />Rachel <br />Sent from my iPhone <br />
