julio, joseph, anna, raquel veronica gomez and i will call some more after we hear from our first speakersc: i agree with this and also move to expand it. the ordinance prohibiting landlords from increasing rent to cover the cost which is supposed to be paid for by the owner of the building in the first place. normally i speak up for people in low-income and very low-income brackets and people with disabilities both mental and physical. but there's a unique time where i came to speak up for people in high-income brackets who are being discriminated against and involved in rent increases based on general routine maintenance. you claim that the rent ordinance prohibits landlords from increasing rents. i believe my last comment the rent stabilization board is not supposed to be price fixing and increasing the rents when they are supposed to be maintaining rent control. the same response has been studied by the university of berkeley pertaining to how rent control will stable out the displacement of low-income, very low-income and fixed income and people who are retired on a fixed income. by g
