Uber lefty city councilman in uber lefty Santa Cruz telling everyone that society's oppressive laws apply to everyone except him. You don't solve the housing crisis by renting out non code compliant, self electrical wired, no plumbing (although he did provide a Mason jar), garden shed for $700 per month. Hope you reported your illegally gained income on your tax forms.

The housing crises is self imposed through overregulation.

It would be solved by the market if it were allowed.

“In my opinion, we have already lost enough housing to the rental inspection ordinance and a culture in which people commonly use anonymous complaints to free up on-street parking or “bring up the neighborhood.” Under the legitimate goal of providing “safe housing” we have created our local version of Bernie Sanders’ famous class divide. There are the homeless whose basic existence is not legal. There are the unpermitted tenants and their landlords whose activities are “not permitted.” And then there the “legal residents” of Santa Cruz, some of whom are a paycheck away from couch surfing while others are working two jobs and having to put their kids in day care. While I have taken leadership for some incremental changes to city housing ordinances that are positive, I very much doubt we have replaced a significant portion of the housing lost because of code enforcement.”

Apparently he agrees that these laws are abused to favor the wealthy in the guise of health and safety.

Dam! I have lots of room in my backyard for a bunch of garden sheds. I should ask him how many will fit on 1/3 acre.

They have the same idiot mentality that infests most cities. If people can’t earn enough money to live somewhere they don’t go somewhere cheaper or figure out how to make more money. They make the government force a “living” wage. Of course the rules don’t apply to the people that make a city so expensive so they are free to rent out chicken coops and closet space to their Mexican servants.

Idiots. The lot of them.
