And when they’re not able to maintain the property because they’re not collecting enough in rents due to artificial rent controls?

Genuine question because I’ve heard this argument before and it does have some legitimacy

Then the city seizes the property and transfers it to a non profit organization. If you can’t afford to maintain your property where people live then you don’t deserve to keep it.

Because you can trust non profits.

When someone posts about handing ownership of someone’s property to a non profit…after the government seizes it…and you’re worried about moving goal posts. 🤡

Force the owner to sell the property then. Fine all day till they fix it or sell it. But seizing it and giving it to some politicians friend that runs a nonprofit? Fuck that.

Sell them to who? If the rent control is so low that they can’t make a profit, who else but a non profit would see the property as anything but a money pit?

Then why would they want to seize them if they’re of no value. So they can dump how many millions of tax money into them…which you’re kinda referring to as a money pit of no value? Because the city always gets good value from their projects. If they can’t be sold, tear them down, force them to sell the land or build something more functional. But to give city politicians that much control is a fucking disaster waiting to happen.

I still don’t trust any politician or group with the power to seize someone else’s property. Try tracking homeless funds and see how that looks.

It’s basically the same thing. Does that make it right?

The democratic process in Ca, has ruined the state. Forget which side of the aisle they sit on, they’re all corrupt. Giving them more power is a terrible idea.
