If you were the mayor of a large city, would you be in favor of rent controls?

Offer tax incentives to "one parent at home" families. That way, more jobs would be created, and the tax that those with the new jobs paid - as opposed to the Social Security benefits they received - would counterbalance each other.\nPlus, there would be less crime caused by burglaries and latch-key kids. Children would be better supervised and receive proper meals, instead of junk food, resulting in less obesity and fewer associated health conditions.\nI am not a politician, yet it is so obvious.\nWhy don't you stand for council? Good luck!

Set policy. It trumps local.

in general in cal, you can agree to anything, unless the law says ou can't.\nwith such a general question it is dificult to get specific.\nthe bay area counties are among the most restrictive in ca, and rent control is a fact of life, where the rest of the state is more relaxed.\ncontact the local board of realtors for better info.

simply put ... no. because of the fact that he is not an american citizen by birth, he would have to get the congress to change the law.. which doesnt seem very plausible considering the ratings he is getting as mayor.

check your local codes, call your city hall rent control board and read your own lease

That would depend upon the Municipal Law and how many people turn out to state their opinion on the matter. I suggest you check out what your Municipal Laws state.

Yeeee Hawwww !!\n\n\nThink of it......Grumpydaysleeper could ride in a big Limo in  a parade, people could throw confetti (not feces) at her, and later on the mayor could give her the keys to the city. There could be a ball at the governors mansion....Larry the Cable guy could be there.....Whoopie Goldberg.....Ozzie  & Sharon Osbourne... Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien....and after wards she could retire to the swank hotel they booked for her and figure out what in the \nHe77 the bidet's for.

I would change the envormental issues. My town has litter every where. That is the one thing I would change.

Depends how much better the salary is and how important living in a city is to you. Personally, I hate the small town mentality where everyone knows everyone else's business. So it would take a lot to move me from the city (even though I was originally from the country).
