Californians: Please vote NO on 98

If Proposition 98 passes in California tomorrow—which it's expected to, because homeownership advocates across the state outnumber cash-strapped San Francisco renters—all forms of rent control in our city will become obsolete. Landlords will be able to raise rents as much as they want for new tenants.

I can only speak for myself, but it means I'd never be able to afford to move from my current place. I imagine many other young professionals are in the same boat.

It's already hard enough to pay for our lives here. Let's not be part of letting it become impossible. Please vote against Prop 98 on June 3.
