That gives you 3,703 units, which still seems high. And, as you say, that doesn't take any litigation costs into effect.<br />I don't think there's any question that if this crazy and needless ordinance gets implemented, it's going to hit the already struggling city budget quite hard.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481238059942383326.post-58523639194139713602017-07-10T10:57:12.824-07:002017-07-10T10:57:12.824-07:00Why don't you quote where the California Apart...Why don't you quote where the California Apartment Association has stated that they are filing frivolous lawsuits. Not a statement by the by the pro-rent control representatives that the lawsuits were frivolous. That is always what the opposition will say. This is another "fake news" statement. <br /><br />Just 800,000 divided by $18 = 44,444 units to cover that. Math doesn't lie. We do not have that many units to charge. 800,000 is the Base amount of the cost. this is not taking into effect the 200,000 ( another minimum) for the expected lawsuits to be filed, which is another very small estimate.<br /><br />Established track record of other cities with similar measures!!!! Show us some. Have you seen the cost of rent control in Berkeley and San Francisco? <br /><br />Pacifica's economics will be destroyed by the cost of this bad legislation. Helping people with their rental issues and costs need to be handled in a way that truly helps them. Not one that enriches attorneys at the expense of the public, tenants and property owners.

The cost in the ordinance is estimate to be 700,000 to 800,000. Plus there is 200,000 being set aside for "possible" litigation, then we have three to seven people to run this bureaucracy. And Tenants are going to pay 18 dollars a month and this will make it cost neutral!!! Right. Quite smoking that "legal" weed which is also going to make the city just tons of money and do some simple math. This is a massive boondoggle. What a sad joke on the renters and all the other people of Pacifica.
