What is Prop 33? A look at California's ballot measure on expanding rent control
Briefly

"It's only 23 words, and it just gives the right of your city council members and county supervisors to expand rent control where they think it's necessary," explained Susie Shannon, the campaign manager for 'Yes on 33.' This succinctly emphasizes the proposal's core purpose and its local empowerment approach in addressing housing affordability.
"I think California voters are going to reject it, once again," said Nathan Click, a spokesperson for the 'No on 33' campaign. "They rejected it by 20-point margins before. California voters are smart." This highlights the historical context and voter sentiment towards similar measures.
"It would allow cities and counties to put new restrictions on building new housing; it would take away incentives for people who are trying to build more housing," said Click. This underscores the opposition's argument regarding the potential negative impact on housing development.
"People are having a really, really hard time paying rent, and it's going to take a broad-based approach to find a sustainable solution to housing affordability," said a supporter, emphasizing the urgency of the housing crisis in California and the need for proactive measures.
