Danny Sauter, un candidato destacado en el Distrito 3, esta semana perdió el respaldo del Consejo de Inquilinos Demócratas de California después de que quedó claro que Sauter no apoyaba la Proposición 33. El Consejo es una organización reconocida a nivel estatal por el Partido Demócrata de California.
De aprobarse el 5 de noviembre, la Proposición 33 derogaría la Ley de Vivienda de Alquiler Costa-Hawkins de 1995, eliminando las restricciones para que ciudades y condados establezcan controles de alquiler. El Consejo de Inquilinos respalda esta iniciativa, y es un tema clave para decidir su apoyo a los candidatos.
Cuando se le preguntó sobre su posición respecto a la derogación de la Ley Costa Hawkins en un cuestionario realizado en julio por el Consejo de Inquilinos Demócratas de California, Sauter dijo que apoyaba la derogación de Costa Hawkins junto con la construcción de nuevas viviendas. Cuando se le preguntó específicamente sobre la futura Proposición 33, dijo que apoyaba la medida.
Sin embargo, a principios de este mes, en respuesta a una pregunta de Mission Local sobre la Proposición 33, Sauter escribió, explícitamente: “No apoyo la Proposición 33“, que deroga la Ley Costa Hawkins, que no incluye elementos para acelerar la construcción de viviendas.
“Lamentablemente, la Proposición 33 no contribuye a simplificar la construcción de viviendas asequibles, y la mayoría de los economistas está de acuerdo en que, en realidad, detendría la construcción de nuevas viviendas en todo California”, agregó.
La respuesta de Sauter fue reportada por un lector de Mission Local al Consejo de Inquilinos Demócratas de California, que decidió retirar su respaldo a Sauter a inicios de esta semana.
Arturo Rodríguez, vicepresidente del Consejo de Inquilinos, confirmó que retiraron el apoyo a Sauter porque asumieron que él respaldaba la Proposición 33. “El Consejo de Inquilinos Demócratas de California se enorgullece de ser el guardián de los inquilinos y de la política de asequibilidad de la vivienda y sus interesados, y nuestro trabajo es responsabilizar a los funcionarios electos”, dijo Rodríguez.
“No creo que el Sr. Sauter haya hecho ningún esfuerzo por engañarnos”, añadió Igor Trugub, vicepresidente del grupo y también concejal de la ciudad de Berkeley.
Cuando se le contactó para hacer comentarios, Sauter también afirmó que ha sido consistente en su postura sobre la Proposición 33. “Me preocupa que ahora estén malinterpretando esto porque toda la situación es confusa”, dijo Sauter, agregando que también es inquilino. “Mi posición ha sido clara, quiero expandir el control de alquileres, si se hace en un paquete que incluya facilitar la construcción de nuevas viviendas”.
Sauter no es el único candidato que apoya el control de alquileres, pero se opone a la Proposición 33. En el Distrito 3, en donde más de dos tercios de las viviendas son ocupadas por inquilinos, los candidatos Matthew Susk y Eduard Navarro también afirman que apoyan el control de alquileres, pero se oponen a su expansión a nivel estatal bajo la Proposición 33.
Los grupos locales de inquilinos respaldan en su mayoría a los competidores de Sauter, Sharon Lai o Moe Jamil. El Consejo de Inquilinos Demócratas de California era el único respaldo de Sauter por parte de un grupo de inquilinos y fue seleccionado como uno de los diversos respaldos que se incluirán en sus materiales de campaña y anuncios digitales.
Esta postura es “completamente ridícula”, dijo Shanti Singh de Tenants Together. “Es algo absurdo en el que intentas apaciguar a la industria inmobiliaria, que odia el control de alquileres en cualquier forma… si te postulas para un cargo, no quieres hacer enojar a esas personas, pero tampoco quieres enojar a los votantes reales que apoyan el control de alquileres”.

The heartbroken mum of a teen murdered in a case of mistaken identity described the moment she found out her son had died - and how she couldn’t “protect him”. Nikki Knight’s son, Mason Rist, 15, and his friend, Max Dixon, 16, were “hunted down” and stabbed in a “revenge attack” after being wrongly identified as culprits of an earlier incident.

S.F. police shoot, kill Dior guard turned alleged hit-and-run driver
San Francisco police shot and killed a purportedly armed man they say they tracked down — after he allegedly hit pedestrians and a cyclist with a car on Thursday evening. Assistant Chief David Lazar, who gave a press conference this morning, said the man was believed to be a security guard at Dior, and said he discovered a firearm “on the ground” at the scene that he believed belonged to the guard. He did not give any details about whether the man was armed at the time police shot him. Lazar also could not confirm how many police officers fired their weapons at the man. The driver was allegedly driving on the sidewalk around 6:30 p.m. at Kearny and Post streets and hit two pedestrians, an 18-year-old and a 17-year-old, Lazar said, in pursuit of a man on an electric bicycle.
