San Diego City Council approves controversial Tenant Protection Ordinance despite heavy opposition. Mayor ToddGloria and SeanEloRivera believe this ordinance will help solve the out-of-control homeless crisis.
SAN DIEGO – Tuesday evening, after hours of public hearing, San Diego City Council voted to approve the controversial Tenant Protection Ordinance.San Diego GOP spokesperson, Scott Sherman, appeared on KUSI News last week to call the ordinance a “joke,” as he urged the public to voice their opposition in hopes the Democrat controlled City Council would vote against the proposal.
Elo-Rivera and Gloria revealed the Residential Tenant Protections Ordinance to Prevent Displacement and Homelessness last week, saying it is a step toward addressing the twin housing and homelessness crises the city faces. Before the vote, Mayor Gloria said, “this ordinance will help address the reality that we have people becoming newly homeless faster than we can get people housed.” Continuing, “I’m extremely grateful to have had the active participation and input in crafting this framework by rental housing industry stakeholders to ensure it’s feasible and will meet the objective of making housing more secure for thousands of San Diegans at risk of becoming homeless.
