The high cost of living is ridiculous compared to incomes, and housing is a big part of this problem.<br><br>In LA County, the fires have made a dire housing crisis even worse, with more people competing for even fewer housing options. Too many landlords will take advantage of this situation and make a bad situation worse. Now is not the time to be raising the cost of rental homes even higher!"</span></i><span><br><br>Key Committee Members to Focus On:<br><br>- Rebecca Bauer-Kahan: 916-319-2016<br>- Diane Papan: 916-319-2021<br>- Catherine Stefani: 916-319-2019<br>- Rick Zbur: 916-319-2051<br><br>Your voice matters!
