Prop owners short arms often struggle to reach inside deep pockets @jayparsons They ‘could’-but don’t-fix probs sometimes also bc lax code enforcement or bldg officer fraternization
Why should renters care about property value when all they want is a livable home? @awmoselle
If a property manager has code violations (especially safety issues), a "rent strike" just exacerbates what is likely a cash flow problem, makes it less likely the problems get fixed, and makes it harder to sell to new owner who could fix it up.
Better options are fines that go into a rental assistance program, and if not doable, various actions to either force a sale or provide city-backed loan tied to improvements + maybe even renewal rent restrictions for duration of loan.
Interesting cuz Santa Monica staff who fuck up are allowed to retire like the previous police chief and a building officer who cornered me in my apt and threatened physical harm while another just stood there and watched

The Hillside Villa tenants have now defeated all 35 eviction cases filed against them. The last three remaining cases were either won or dismissed this week. @hillside_villa @ccedLA
These are the same cases that @EunissesH's office explicitly told the tenants not to fight.

Not a single person in the main lobby of #SantaMonica City Hall on Tuesday night thanked now ex-Councilmembers Parra and de la Torre for their service as they exited the building lmfao

“It’s unfortunately extremely common for landlords to lie about their tenants and file spurious eviction cases against them in order to kick them out,” said Rose Lenehan, an organizer with the LA Tenants Union.

The Council will likely see a 6-1 majority for the progressive block. Even a comeback in late counting by Phil Brock would leave the Council at 5-2.

Says @JohnPutnamElect - the wealthy homeowner whose campaign accepted $$$ from corporate landlords. This same republican was a no-show to the 2 candidate forums
#SantaMonica Just say NO to this Santa MAGA-can
#SantaMonica Just say NO to Republican right-wing Santa MAGA-can @JohnPutnamElect
Located just blocks away from where you tried to evict over 700 residents. But FAILED
Meet Wilshire Bundy Plaza, with its breathtaking panoramic views of the ocean, city, and mountains. Located in Brentwood, our newly renovated suites are the perfect backdrops for success. #Brentwood #DouglasEmmett
.@PhilBrock4SM You’re a LANDLORD who accepted $100K from another landlord who tried - unsuccessfully- to evict over 700 residents

Hey @PhilBrock4SM people still remember that phony publicity stunt on the promenade last year where you pretended to have been assaulted and then went on a mini B-channel media tour
@PhilBrock4SM U know the one which started in front of ur pal John Alle’s store and then travelled 492 feet - across SM Blvd - and ended conveniently just feet from a police kiosk lmfao
.@PhilBrock4SM this is an extremist lie!
Friends do not vote for the Santa MAGA foursome

I wrote the history of deputy gangs inside of the LA County Sheriff’s Department. Then they started surveilling me, according to internal emails.
