Just leave your politics back in California.

I see that in Oregon as well, moving here because they destroyed California with their politics. My concern is they will move like locusts consuming all the resources and leaving a wasteland behind like they did in California. I can already see where they are starting to do that in Oregon.

The issue is it is very tax advantageous to own property. One way to help fix the problem is to charge a rental fee or disallow tax writeoffs for rental properties. Right now people jump on rentals because the ROI is solid. Reduce the ROI and people won't look to rentals.

This and removing tax breaks for anything other than primary homes.

If allow a few. As we talked about before, removing the deductions would kill the roi. I would’ve mind a limit of four then you lose the exemption.

Rentals do provide a benefit to the community in a reasonable number. Corporations owning rentals do not.

I also think enforcing code is them is critical. Don’t let them turn into slumlords which rental control does.
