The RSP Report is not a strategic plan. It is missing the key elements including metrics. After the last consultant report, the Housing Department hired 22 FTE staff, got tens of millions of dollars, gave this money to non-profits. They did this without any measurable outcomes or proof of success. Bottom line, the tasks will not accomplish the stated objectives. It will just use more funding and more staff without protecting renters or preserving affordable housing.
I'm opposed to the RSP. There are already systems in place that collect data that goes unused, useless petition forms, dysfunctional rental registry systems, etc., which has NOT improved the rental housing situation. Bloating the City's budget with more costs and personnel, plus adding more burden on housing providers (70+% are mom & pop owned) is not a solution. Many housing providers are stepping away due to an already dysfunctional system, which means even less options for renters.
I am opposed to the proposed rent stabilization. It does not seem there was any consultations with the owners or tenants and the city is making unilateral decisions.
The RSP draft is a deeply flawed, unnecessary document. Look at Goal 4 only: Who is to blame for not being at 100% participation? Housing should know exactly who is not in compliance. No mention of city's without rent control? Loose misleading terms like "hundreds of ARO tenant households may have experienced rent increases" are scare tactics. Housing's goal is clearly to modify increases from 5% and they are trying to masquerade it in an expensive, unnecessary, fancy RSP. Do not accept this!
As an apartment owner in San Jose, I strongly oppose this Strategic Plan. The language is vague which leaves the door open to many policies to be implemented in the future without coming out and saying it as part of a plan. There is no consideration in the plan for what housing will do to help housing providers in San Jose maintain the current stock of apartments as they even further age. Also no mention of participation by city taxpayers as a whole to help needy residents, just ARO providers.
The Strategic Plan is not a plan. Housing providers were not a part of the decision process and it is not right. I can't pick my neighborhood because no drop down menu appears at all. District 3.

There are no objective metrics that constitutes what is and is not affordable and an audit should be conducted before any laws are passed

I am opposed to the proposed rent stabilization. When will our voices be heard?

After being told many times,
There has been no improvement to Fair return on investment for housing providers.
I have a response of public record request that since 2018 there was NOT even one Fair return petition approved.
This is a failed system,
Strategic plan is for 4 year old problems?
