Despite fast-rising rents, the right moment has not arrived for rent control in Fresno
The Fresno City Council recently came under criticism for something that has not been done — rent control.
Some activists decided it was a good idea to get personal with their attacks. Specifically, they went after four of the seven council members because they happened to be owners of rental properties.
“They are landlords on the dais,” said Shar Thompson, the Central Valley regional coordinator with Tenants Together and a District 3 resident.
Her inference was that the property-owning council members have a vested interest to make sure that rent-increasing capping measures are not adopted.
