A new poll finds little support for a state initiative that would give local governments more power to limit rent increases. That would, in turn, tend to make long-run affordability problems worse. Property owners who own no more than two single-family homes would be exempt from the law. That would mean cities and counties could set rent caps below those found in the state's 2019 rent control policy, which limits annual rent increases statewide to the lesser of 10 percent or 5 percent plus inflation. While lots of people in the state are struggling to pay rent, that has more to do with pandemic-related loss of income than sudden rent increases.
