Students at UC Santa Cruz are protesting a university plan that would relocate families into a new, more expensive housing complex, resulting in a 30% rent increase. Aaron Chang and other tenants expressed their frustrations, highlighting the potential financial strain on families already living in below-market units. Teaching assistant Nate Edenhofer emphasized that the university’s actions as the largest landlord in Santa Cruz could impact the broader housing market. With many vacant units in the complex, residents feel unfairly pressured by the new housing developments while battling rising rents.
Tenants are fighting these plans.
It affects the whole market when the university raises its rental prices.
Families who live there will be asked to move to the university's new family complex.
It's $600 more a month, it's like money coming directly from my paycheck.
