The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors just killed the rent protection extension. They voted to let the price-gouging rules expire. The safety net for tenants is gone.

This was not an accident. The decision was deliberate. The people in power decided that landlord profit matters more than housing stability.

DEPRESSING FEATURES.

• Landlords can hike rents without oversight.
• The era of controlled increases is over.
• Low income families are targets for the next market spike.

Everything is being handed back to the owners. The market will do what it does. We are just waiting for the eviction notices to arrive.
