Simon-Weisberg remarks on her family's struggles, stating, "Every time I've had to move, I've had to pay double the rent.

The article highlights the pivotal Proposition 33 on the ballot, which seeks to repeal the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act established in 1995, a law that restricts local rent control measures and has contributed to California's affordable housing crisis.
