SAN FRANCISCO -- Retiree Pamela Haile has paid property taxes, insurance and other bills on a house she lets out in Oakland, but for more than three years her tenants have paid no rent thanks to one of the longest-lasting eviction bans in the country.

The eviction moratorium in the San Francisco Bay Area city expires next month and Haile can't wait. The 69-year-old estimates she is owed more than $60,000 in back rent, money she doubts she will ever see. Moreover, the tenants have trashed her house and it will cost tens of thousands of dollars to make it habitable, she says.

It’s “worse” in Boise than it is in Coeur d’Alene simply because there’s a wealthier class of kalifornians invading Coeur d’Alene. They’re doing what they always do, viz. plague an area, raise real estate prices (and property taxes for the natives) and gradually turn the city purple>blue.

I suggest a class action against the City. They should go get a Philadelphia lawyer and sue the hell out of San Francisco and all the various individuals involved.

At my place I received a letter from the city of Los Angeles that wanted to confirm I was paying the amount of rent the owner of the property stated. If incorrect meaning higher then I was to contact the city. There still is a moratorium on rent increases after 3 years!!
Prior to the illegal lockdown the rate increase was 3% or less a year.
