Subject:\[EXTERNAL\] Comment: Aug. 9 Charter Amendment on rent

I'm a 38 year resident of Anaheim and I'm objecting to the proposed charter amendment concerning rents being
allowed to be higher than the rent control cap, based on what the property would sell for. The same proposer of this
charter amendment, has historically been trying to fight rent control in Anaheim even though more than half of
Anaheim residents are renters. And if one checked the school lunch rosters, it would be clear that a majority of
those renters are pushing their financial limits as the rents stand now.
Currently, the 10% annual increase is larger than this year's inflation rate, even in this time of huge inflation, so
there is no good reason for landlords to need this chance to increase rents beyond what is legally possible at this
time.
Mayor pro temp, Trevor O'Neil, in bringing this charter amendment up, blatantly demonstrates a lack of care for the
majority of Anaheim residents, when his purported job is to manage the city in a way which would benefit as many
people as possible.
Thank you, Karen Malley
