The California Assembly recently passed AB-1482 which will lead to statewide rent control if signed by the governor. I personally believe more in increasing the supply than attempting to control the existing supply, but no matter what, signing this without demanding SB-50-like concessions to make it easier to increase supply near transit was a real miss IMO. SB-50 got pushed into 2020.
