WHY? SINCE NEW YORK CITY WAS A POLITICAL POwERHOUSE ALBANY feared the political backlash if they allowed rent control to sunset and then to have their constituents pay free market rents. albany cared only about one thing. they willingly prostituded themselves for they would do anything so as not to stand in the unemployment line. they were given all the negative effects of continuing rent control but assuring re election was more important than the health of the state or the health of their voters. so a not to be accused they came up with a novel solution to a super hot political dilema. they anounced that they did not have enough information to make a decision. so they renewed national rent control on a state wide level while they formed a committee to study the problem and report back for a decision.well it has been 65 (sixty-five )years and albany is still studying the problem. the government should provide social services not private businessmen. not one drop of rent regulations !!!! the CAA has nothing to delibrate. there is only one choice.no rent control,none. don’t make the same mistake that new york state made in the mid 1940’s. when ww2 was over the politicians in washington were dismantling the OPA. everything went fee market except national wartime rent control. washington knew that the issue was tooo hot to handle. so they allowed each state legislature to decide for itself.47 of the 48 states wanted nothing to do with rent regulations. the economy was booming. people were achiving the american dream, moving and buying homes in the newly formed suburbs. only one state did not let national rent control sunset…NEW YORK..

I was a New York City landlord for 25 yrs and suffered through it, always hoping things would change to no avail. Instead, offer a more profound change in your states authority. The US Constitution provides enumerated rights. The states do not. This simple fact eludes us. I don't know what Cal is like but the NY Constitution simply sets up a gov't structure to legislate laws. There are no limits to the States authority. They are not just at your door, they have already entered your home and they are a force you can no longer control. Gov'ts were formed to assist the people in endeavors they cannot perform individually.Govts were formed to build bridges, not houses. It once was inconcievable that it would be able to take from one and give to another or that an owner could be enslaved as nothing more than a glorified superintendent for the collective. If you follow your present course, you will never prevail. Good Luck, John Don’t waste your time.
