“California voters have rejected Proposition 33, a ballot measure that would have allowed cities to dramatically expand rent control protections. With 94.9% of precincts reporting at least partial results, ‘no’ votes were winning with 61.6% (5.7 million voters). About 3.5 million people voted in favor of the measure. The ballot measure needed only a simple majority (50% plus one vote) to pass. The proposition would have repealed the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act, a 1995 state law that set limits on how cities and counties could apply rent control — sets of laws that allow governments to regulate how much landlords can charge tenants.” (11/06/24)
