No on Prop. 98, Yes on Prop. 99

June 2, 2008 · 17 Comments

Cali voters, get out and vote tomorrow, June 3rd! Trusted sources tell me to spread the word about voting NO ON PROPOSITION 98! It is disguised as a measure to protect home owners from a government take over of the property through eminent domain, but WHAT IT REALLY DOES IS END RENT CONTROL LAWS IN CA!! Seeing as how rent control laws are one of the last remaining tools used to stop the crazy gentrification sweeping across the Bay, it is very important that we stop this measure from passing. The better alternative is to vote YES on Prop. 99, which does protect against eminent domain without dismantling rent control. So, NO on 98, Yes on 99. My ignant ass doesn’t know about any of the other measures.
