“Why would anyone want to retire in San Francisco?”

I liked San Francisco when I was last there about ten years ago.

I didn’t notice a big homeless problem back then.

The motel I stayed in in Newark, CA (far away) was about $50/night.

I have a female cousin that moved to SF in the mid 80’s. VERY liberal and condecending toward non SF types. She was always upbeat and had a great life.

Now her voice is flat and very depressed. But she won’t leave. Stuff happens.

“Who would want to retire in San Francisco anyway? It’s a lost city.”

Article I, Section 10

“No state shall...pass any...ex post facto law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts...”

In most states if a landlord sells the property, the rights of the tenant continue to the new owner.

This is a baby step toward a Communist ideal where the state owns all and, ultimately, everyone in the State.

maybe he’s being blackmailed and we don’t know it.

He is, and we do know about it.

How do we know? If it looks like duck crap, and it smells like duck crap, and you watched to come out of a duck's butt, it ain't a Tootsie Roll.

This will not have the effect they want it to have.

Too Bad Roberts doesn’t have a bit of Rehnquist in him.

“e. The City imposes this lifetime lease requirement on all property owners seeking to change the form of ownership from a tenancy-incommon interest to a condominium interest. Moreover, the ordinance contains a poison pill: if any owner sues to challenge the constitutionality of this requirement, the City suspends the condo conversion program entirely as to properties with even one tenant.”

“All non-owning tenants, regardless of need or income, are eligible for an offer of a lifetime lease under the ECP and have two years to decide whether to accept it. App. F-8, § 1396.4.5 So long as the tenant remains in the apartment, the City will not accept any waiver of the lifetime lease. App. F-20, § 1396.4(g)(3). Both the offer of a lifetime lease, and the lease itself, are recorded against title to the property, together with a separate binding agreement between the City and the property owners. Id. Moreover, existing tenants may invite family to move into their units, establishing “co-tenant” status and thus becoming eligible for the lifetime lease. App. F-17. The expedited conversion program also contains a program-wide poison pill: any legal challenge from a single property owner suspends the program for all buildings containing even one tenant.”

besides taking by unconstititional ordinance, the below would seem to be the red meat of the story:

“After the Pakdels filed suit on June 26, 2017, the City sent a letter to all owners citywide informing them of the Pakdels’ identity and street address and that, as a result of their legal challenge, there is now a moratorium on all new condominium conversions in San Francisco.”

Roberts does not believe in the Constitution as a restraint on government force. He has shown his tendency towards “Democracy “ or mob rule. People get what they voted for, may it be “Good and Hard”.

if you are living in Dayton, Ohio, look for someplace other than San Francisco
Nan Whaley does no good for Dayton, Ohio either.

Home owners don’t become home owners by being stupid.
Apparently you can be stupid and be a San Francisco city planner

The city intends to become the owner of these buildings. They’ll hire friends and family to manage them at exorbitant rates, with the occupants and managers all billing the taxpayers. Since San Francisco is in the red, that means taxpayers in other jurisdictions like you and I will pay for this.

Then how does one account for the cases where the tenant says “I need to move, the landlord sold the place I’m renting”?

Landlord could claim he’s moving in, and then later on, circumstances change and he ends up not moving in.

The tenant might be lying or the tenant was month to month, no rights beyond 30 days, or the tenant is bought out of his/her rights.
