To:Distrib- City Clerk <[email protected]> Hello:
I would to like to urge the Mayor and City Council to admend or expand the proposed AntiDisplacement Ordinance prior to any approval.
Due to the extremely limited housing options in San Rafeal, all our residents who rent are volunerable to displacement.
While I support the amendment in it's intent to protect displacement, I believe your ordinance is unnecessarily discriminatory in it's approach to protect only a very small segment of our residents.
All San Rafael renters are volunerable renters.
Whether you are one of our seniors, are disabled, or otherwise, if you are displaced from your home for "health and safety" reasons, we all should be afforded the same rights to be able to return safely to our homes after the issues have been resolved, under the provisions of this ordinance.
Failure to provide the same protections equally for all San Rafael renters may result in unintended consequences.
Please help protect all our housed residents from becoming unhoused by adopting this ordinance for all renters.
Thank you,
Amy G.
San Rafael Resident
