Is Florida's housing, homelessness crisis turning state into next California?

- As more working Florida families share their stories of first-time homelessness, housing advocates warn Florida’s future is in jeopardy without a fix.
I live in Jacksonville Florida. And I just got word from my landlord that for no reason at all that they decided not to renew my lease and my twelve-year-old son and I need to be out within 60 days. I do have my parents house that we can go to however as a parent is my job to make sure that my son has a safe roof over his head. Also try to go to other apartment communities here in the city and they're a lot more than what I make. I make about $3,000 a month and I'm still not making enough because most of them want you to make three times the rent. I just pray that God continues to protect all of us from this madness that's going on with these rent prices.
You will better off being like Taliban fighter for freedom. If you believe in this slavery greedy capitalism racism nation, start robbing banks. Lol.
Move in with your parents. They love you more than anyone else. Also, you can save up money to help your parents with expenses. And finally, just by having a roof over your head and money in your pocket, gives you peace of mind to figure out what to do for the future.
@@mikeifyouplease yes great idea but two woman in the same house is problematic . They want be boss and soon they both will becoming homeless.
@@Dc-sl3up Wow. Is that really true?
@@mikeifyouplease try it yourself. I have two girlfriends meet up and see what happen. Lol
They need to limit rental investment companies buying up majority of the properties driving prices of homes up.
Lord I think God for Grandparents who look out for me.May the rest. In piece
Thanks I know now things had come to me at 64 years old.
Most times it amazes me greatly the way I move from an average lifestyle to earning over 63k per month, utter shock is the word. I have understood a lot in the past few years to doubt that opportunities abound in the financial markets, The only thing is to know where to focus.
@RONATO Johnson Anyways not actually, what I know about trading almost borders on zilch lol. I make huge profits on my investment since I started trading with Mrs Sofia Ryan, her trading strategies are top notch coupled with the little commission she charges on her trade.
@Neil McCory My coin stays right in my trading account, my account just mirrors her trades in real-time.that's the idea behind copy trading.
Same here, My portfolio has been going down the drain while I try trading, I just don't know what I do wrong, have invested $18,000 in crypto all I have now is just $5365.
@Oscar Douglas Her concept is key in beating all odds to excel in this form of online commodity trading.

When St Pete rent in Jan 2022 goes from 950 to 1900 its not good.
St Pete was so cheap even last year.
Working and homeless don’t go together.
That's the new America my friend
Housing is getting so expensive, until the news reporters themselves are priced out of paradise too. smh
Econ lady is idiot, CA homes primary driven by asset inflation with tech and financial sector. Most ppl in tech and Wall Street get paid in stock bonuses. If you measure CA home in goog or fb …home prices have been crashing. What does that tell you? Your money is worthless

@@anthonyr5869 lol right
@@yaboijuan4052 nope it isn’t
Lived in florida since 85. If u like poverty move their. Thank god I moved to colorado my wages have doubled with benefits.
Same thing here in Arizona. Unfortunately, this is the new reality and affordable housing is less and less within our reach.
And a drought to boot.
Florida was going to be my forever state. Every time I visit I love it and don’t want to leave. Between the Governor and this issue, the insurance companies going insolvent, I’m really starting to reconsider. And I’m in TEXAS! It’s very disheartening.
What? Another person who thinks Texas is a bum deal?
You're lucky you're in TX, are you not? Is your rent still affordable? (Btw, I understand your sentiments. I love FL to but the increase in rent and overinflated housing prices just doesn't make sense ...the insolvency of the insurance companies makes FL seem to be a liability to roof yourself in buying a house ...at least close to the ocean )
@@chococookies7292 Texas prices are going UP, not down. Neighborhoods increasingly getting gentrified, putting big pressure on longtime residents who may not be able to keep up with property taxes as this takes hold. I have friends in Florida and I know they love being there. My own preference is for mountains and rugged coastlines (neither to be found in Florida, as far as I know).
don't move to Florida. big mistake. it's terrible. it was always a haven for illegals but now it's over flooded and the governor is doing nothing about it because he doesn't want to lose votes.
@@chococookies7292 close to the ocean. haha. you don't want to do that. you will be the first to have to evacuate.
Our weather attracts a lot of homeless from up north.
I remember when I was a kid in nyc I knew these groups of homeless people were planning trips to go to California. I always wondered how their trip went I never saw them since they started their walk
Until hurricane season really kicks in
This is different. There is a stalwart population of homeless snowbirds that travel by train and bus between the north and south US regions depending on the season but when I saw the homeless outreach communities in my area overrun with people last August I knew there was a real problem. The affordable housing issue is not unique to Florida but inflation and increased housing costs (rent/buy) have exasperated the issue. I think there is this dangerous assumption among people in the real estate and construction markets that there is this unlimited revenue stream from potential clients which to them, justifies their continuous price increases. The reality is very different and most working class people cannot afford to buy homes yet they are critical to keeping a community functioning. After all if you have no grounds keepers, maintenance personal, retail/grocery workers, nurses, teachers, etc. then what do you have? Just a community of rich people in need of services but they will have less options as people in the service industry move away for a better quality of life and find a way to work and live in communities that appreciate them. There needs to be housing for the working class (both affordable rent and buying options) not just based on income (like income restricted communities are a joke!) but priced based on actual census results for median household incomes by area. There also needs to be affordable home buying options. Finally there should be laws in place for senior housing for people on fixed incomes, that they cannot be charged more beyond their means or be at risk of homelessness. The best thing for everyone at this point is another housing market crash, it will help deflate property taxes and open up the inventory. Many folks want to move but cannot because while they know their home will sale well there is nowhere to move too/little inventory options for every price point across the board.
Maybe its because the minimum wage there is extremely low compared to other states .
There we go you said it
I remember you could live on a low wage because you had low rents !
yup. lowest pay in the States
Minimum wage has no bearing on affordability. You have people earning 100k plus I NYC and San Francisco living in tiny apartments or in their cars. Start paying people $30 an hour. Guess what everyone moves in and landlords know you can afford more , they charge more etc....
@@LinnieKart it does. Fl minimum is way to low to pay $1700+ a month for rent. I'm not even down there anymore. I'm in ny , where I make way more than minimum wage and work 3 jobs to live comfortably.
I get what your saying. But in florida , most jobs are paying minimum wage which last I knew was like $8 an hour. So that's what the jobs pay .
That Facebook page, Leaving California, has like 148k people on it. Half of them think Florida is a mecca of affordability. They are all finding out the hard way, just like people moving to Tennessee and, increasingly, Texas.
Add New York, New Jersey and Colorado to that list.
Where are the fathers of these kids?? Are they receiving child support? If they’re not they should lock these fools up for not paying. We shouldn’t be the ones supporting them.
Maybe you shouldn't have destroyed the Earth.

They've been busy fighting wokeness instead of Florida's real problems
"Wokeness..."
but DeSantis, Scott, Rubio, and all the other Rethugliekkklans claim that FL is the conservative utopia!
Florida is getting too expensive for many reasons. One of those is all the blue state refugees that come in from high real estate dem states… they come in with loads of cash and there are not enough homes as it is. The supply chain is increasing material cost and slowing down new builds… inflation isn’t helping. I do care but I don’t want to see Florida turn into LA, Portland, Seattle or even what’s happening in Austin. Jacksonville is getting more and more polluted.. you can see the trash all over the I 95 exits. South Florida panhandlers are noticeably increasing. I am an 8th generation Floridian and it is sad to watch the trees get cut down and the cost of living explode.
Yea that’s why I got the hell out of that overpopulated area. Gov DeSantis is great and he is a victim of his own success.. he marketed Florida too well by governing responsibility and putting freedom over mandates and now all the people from liberal shitholes have come down
Exactly. They need to stay in their own states. They hate our governor but quick to move here because we don’t have COVID lockdowns and low taxes. The problem is, while taxes are low, insurance, rent, and housing is out of control and unsustainable.
That’s not exactly it
Yes, what has happened here is saddening!
@@jbar_85 while snowbirds are part of the problem, another is that private equity firms are buying up property en masses. I live in North Port and they just bought all of the new single family houses. How are citizens supposed to compete with private equity firms for housing?
This isn't a Florida only thing, but still unfortunate. The USA dollar has lost 40% of it's value in 2 years, what did we think was going to happen?
Both stories had a common theme of 4 kids / 1 income. That's gonna be hard in many places.
The USD has actually been unprecendently strong the past couple of years compared to other currencies. And with the Federal Reserve relentlessly increasing rates, it's appreciating further. That's not the issue. There's validity to your 2nd point; however, with single mom's trying to raise 4 kids. That's going to be a struggle anywhere, even if you are making good money.
This is happening in every state, in every city (small and large). Definitely by design. Including overseas. These rental prices are unsustainable for so many people and homelessness is definitely going to increase like you have never seen it before. You will see more hard working people be completely priced out. These apartments have vacancies but they are using the vacant units as Air BNB's. No way these apartments are renting at capacity. These real estate investment corporations are wicked beasts. They are the ones inflating the prices and contributing to homelessness. State and local gov't is sitting on their behinds like a bunch of crash dummies and doing absolutely nothing about the overbuilding of so-called luxury apartments, the insane lease renewal increases of $150 and higher per month, those in affordable units getting kicked out . Get ready for more tent cities, more crime, more robberies, home invasions, parking lots turning into encampments for those living out of their cars, your property values decreasing, your cities turning into smelly shitholes with human waste everywhere. Everybody is going to be affected by this. There are so many people in foreclosures, they will also be apart of the homeless population because if they couldn't afford their mortgage, they damn sure won't be able to afford these rents. This is going to have ripple effect and it's going to touch EVERYBODY. Buckle-up!
The greedy government is to blame. They need to lower property taxes on rental properties.
Ok...Florida is not paradise. Unless it's over the winter within a mile of the beach south of say palm beach. Unless you like bugs, swamps and stepping into a sauna everytime you step outside lol
You are correct. I drove my van to Florida in September of 2021. I camped throughout the south Florida area for 3 weeks to see if I could tolerate it. The the extreme humidity and regular afternoon thunderstorms made it miserable. Screw that, I will stay in the mountains.
Seems to be a female thing for some reason. I hated the weather much of the time I lived there. When it does improve you get pounded with snowbirds & tourists. Prob. bc females are cold blooded.
@@SB-zy7wy Haha…The beach makes it all go away.
Your right. It's hot and humid most of the year. Prices for everything are higher. Jobs pay lower wages. Not to mention its hurricane alley. I know, I lived in SW Florida for 25 yrs. I forgot to mention traffic. We lived 6 miles from the beach. To hot to go in summer. You go in winter and it's crowded with tourists at the beach and long waits at the restaurants. We moved back to the Midwest 14 yrs ago. We could never afford to live there as retirees........
@@SB-zy7wy I would much rather live in the mountains......
Governor desantis and his cronies need to do something about this madness. he is strangely very quiet on the housing problem.
Hes busy fighting against mask mandates 🙄
if there are empty apartments no one should be homeless.
Move to a more affordable state I did and I made good money down there… sold my small apartment and bought acres in the north east
When you're living paycheck to paycheck that is not so easy. You need some savings to move, many have not been able to save the past 20 years. Wages have not kept up
You sold your apartment because you were making enough money to get approved to buy a condo she only makes 2500 a month
yes good idea. a few states are actually offering money to hep people afford the move too.
There are no affordable states in 2022
It's going to get worse when higher insurance rates go into effect this year. My insurance is doubling. Raising my mortgage payment up about
$500/month. I already have to work 2 jobs, 1 full-time and a part-time to pay bills.
It's only going to get worse and there is nothing you or anyone else can do to stop it. In a capitalist system, those with wealth and power make all the rules.
Ayn Rand....read her book Atlas shrugged....
Unfortunately it’s true…
Don’t bring Cali into this , you became this all on your own . I live in the capital of Cali and pay south of $1,500 for 2 bedroom house with detached garage , you all need to stop listening to one another and go do something positive
Even the worst city in Florida is expensive.
it's because of all the California's and new Yorkers leaving their states and come buying up homes here that cause this catastrophe. but what goes up must come down.
When you bid on stocks bonds even crypto, the loosing bidder doesn’t go homeless? We have allow banks and govt to monetize our homes into atms. A house is a home not asset
Someone investing in the biggest scam probably in history that is crypto can’t be taken seriously. Sorry dude
@@AutotuneSucksBalls who said anything in investing? And bitcoin is not crypto. Like any currency from free markets, the markets will decide its price and value not government..that’s the point not making more dollars

GOP cannot use blue state California as an example any more. Deathsantis is fighting Disney, banning math books and writing into law ' don't say gay' really focused on priorities 😏
It was never a blue state issue that idiotic rethugliekkklans made it out to be. It has more to do with increased density. As FL and TX get increasingly more densely populated, they're going to see the same issues that are associated with densely populated places- in fact, they already are.
How misguided you are with actual policies. Maybe read his bills instead of regurgitating whatever you hear on the view.
Don't pay rent. Don't allow new people to move in. Rent is abuse and destroys community, family, and children.
How is a senior financial services accountant homeless?
The State of Fl doesn’t pay much.
Exploding rent, imagine paying 60,000 a year to house a family compared to 25,000 a year back 3 or 4 years ago. I make 50,000 a year thanks to overtime. Currently living in a motel, I understand. My rent is super cheap, 15,000 a year. My last place in 21, I was paying 725 a month before the complex was sold. If you do the math, it is scary.
The State of Fl is offering a job on LinkedIn for a Senior nurse with a 4 year degree and years of experience to work nights weekends and holidays in Pasco County for a lousy 47k a year...after deductions for taxes, SS, Medicaid, health insurance, dental, 401k, life insurance etc they maaaaybe 3k a month to live in an area where rent is 2k+....how does that make sense?
Poor financial planning 😁
Where is DeSantis now . Yall were talking about how great he is well . He is mute on this issue
If loosing up zoning to allow more housing is a progressive policy why doesn’t it happen? Progressives should support it because it supplies housing. Conservatives should support it because it reduces regulation allowing the private market to take care of the housing shortage without government spending. Reducing regulation to solve a problem is something everyone can get behind.
this is not a liberal or conservatives issues its NIMBY, which means zoning regulation is one of the few power local government and the less house there is in the neighborhood the more the prices go up of existing house , American have a fear of public housing that whenever a developer want to built one, homeowners in the area start going crazy and threatened developers or city if allowed with lawsuits
Build up not out
@@infantebenji yeah. Neither progressives nor conservatives live their professed principles. NIMBYism damages the environment and economy by strangling both with the traffic, high costs and waste it creates.
@@infantebenji yup, rich folk don't want us plebs living next to them
Florida simply needs to follow the lead of SF and LA. Each city will spend about $1 BILLION this year (it's their annual homeless budget) and it has clearly solved their homeless crisis. Right...?
They won't they are not Democratic state
Well…California is Democrat and the place is riddled with homeless and druggies.
Given the choice to live in a state with ideal weather most of the year and another state with high humidity and heat most of the year, most people will choose the first one (California). Much of Florida is a low-lying swamp.
There are houses available in Florida, the problem is simple, inflation,investors and local and federal government. Ive seen new communities built in the last 2 years in north central Florida and the original price ask for a brand new house 3 bedroom 2 bathroom and garage was $200,000,the same model of house built today and in the same community cost $489,000 if you are lucky. I saw new House, smaller than a double wide mobile home , 3/2 for $650,000,a single wide mobile home,in a mobile home park for $345,000, apartments 1 bedroom 1 bathroom rent for $2,150 a month,a single family home,no luxury,renting for $3,500 a month. All this is obscene.
Homelessness is a business, it's not a accident. As the first woman mentions she works and cannot afford a place to live, why exactly is she working?
"Homeless" people in Florida can at least still afford to live in Motels while Homeless people in California flat out have to live on the streets or in Tent cities.
You can live with low paying jobs as long as you got low rents !
Listen to there story and keep it pushing..
And by 'pushing' you mean the Engrish language off the cliff?
*Let's be Clear, Evey situation is different!!* Their in a Hotel/ Motel?! *THEY HAVE ALL THE Basic, living, RESOURCES THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IN A HOME. So technically, Their aren't HOMELESS!*
*I'm HOMELESS! IN FLORIDA, AND ON THE STREETS! The Real HOMELESS!! NO HELP, NO RESOURCES, NOTHING & NO ONE!!* NO place to *Bathe, cook, & more importantly Sleep & privacy!!* So I understand what there saying but THEY HAVE ALL OF THE ABOVE in a Hotel/Motel to Sustain and Maintain!!
*There's different LEVELS of Homeless!* Theirs IMHO would be considered 0-1! Mine is *4 to the 10th Power!!! (You can't get no lower) which is the Worst!!!* 💯 😥😪
What's with our country having it where housing has to be expensive like it is
Rent is to high gas is to high food is to high and the president says we have a strong economy! But for who is it strong for?
Quit letting institutions put real estate inside of some REIT and buy 60 houses at once... Yes all you fools who bought a 250k house for 499k because some realtor told you it will be worth 1M will take a bath but you should have learned from GameStop.
From what has been on the news and how Floridians respond to it. I thought Florida was doing great, sound like there is more important issues that need to be handled.
Florida is far from paradise. That's just a sales pitch. If there is such a thing as 200% humidity, it exists in florida. You suffer all summer, which lasts 8 months, only to be hit by a tidal wave of snowbirds & tourists. My last 10 years out of 27, I was a snowbird there...

Turning Florida into California... Isn't that the objective?
Remember November 2022.
That will never happen. Too flat and swampy to become an interesting destination. Unless you are into laid- back things like partying and drinking.
Same exact story and title as the other channel. I thought abc and nbc were competitors?
Time to move to central New Mexico but they have had no rain in two years
No it can't turn into Cali- we have a semi-functional government (has opposed to completely dysfunctional). And most of municipalities let builders build. California has a completely dysfunctional government and NIMBY (not in my backyard). This keeps real estate much higher priced than in Florida. You have single family houses in California where they should build skyscrapers. A single family 3/2 house in San Francisco is 1-2 million. Florida is 200,000-500,000 depending on where you are.
aww it's cute that you have faith in politicians
Coincidentally, Cali cities like San Francisco has significantly higher median income values than Florida cities e.g. Tampa. Per the Census Bureau, San Fran's median income is $120k, Tampa's is 55k. Rent averages $2010 in San Fran, vs $1170 in Tampa; the numbers scale shockingly accurately. Political parties have zero effect on this, because neither really do anything differently regarding zoning & land development; all they do is focus on culture war issues (at all levels pretty much).
NOTE that those numbers are the average of 2016-2020. Since then Tampa's had some of the highest rent increases in the country
Point being that Florida is no more affordable than Cali when you adjust for local prices & salaries
@@DSTimelapseHD Yea but add in no state or local income tax in Florida. Plus I'm pretty sure in San Francisco you don't get a car or parking most of the time. Also crime/homelessness are high in Florida but not nearly as high in California. Florida is just better quality (in my opinion). Crime is very high in certain parts of Florida though (cough **Miami - Miami Gardens-Opa Locka** cough cough).
not 200k anymore. upwards of 400k to 1million and more. These sellers are trying to make a killing.
Next thing the government will paaa a law "Don't Sat homeless".
Can't feel sorry for these people because they vote for people who are destroying any safety net that would help these people.
Well, what are democrats doing? Nothing! Look how expensive California and New York are. Who runs those states? Democrats.
Look fool ,and fool is an insult I use sparingly, but in your case it fits you, Democrats have no political power in Florida. And it seems that the majority of its citizens agree with what is going on in their state. I say screw em.
Where is DeSantis on this issue?
Apparently the Tampa Jewish Foundation is offering emergency cash assistance and may have some limited shelter space
Boarder jumpers need to go to another reason why there’s a housing shortage
No one was feeling sorry for the land lords during the pandemic that couldn't pay their notes on their properties because of rent cancelations. So they sold their places to Real estate investment trusts. The tables have turned. You just got a much worst land lord.

Every wealthy person from northern states should consider what they have done to our home state.
It's not every wealthy person. The vast majority of wealthy people across the country have no desire to go to FL. It's all the retirees- and there are a shitload of boomers who have recently retired, who have made housing in FL competitive. Not to mention investors, especially wealthy investors from Latin America.

Some humans are just social animals who go by their instincts rather than common sense. And when things go south they look for government to help them with tax money which is not really a concern for the government because they earn their living by managing tax money.

7 Thousand people move to Florida every single week . So the plight of those who can no longer afford the Sunshine State will only grow worse . Advice , do what we did as Retiree's , move . We simply could no longer afford Florida after we Retired . So we looked around and believe it or Not ? There are much cheaper States in which to live and they are very close to Florida .
It's funny how they call these places Paradise. 🤣 Tent cities, overpriced everything, not sustainable for most. Dirty beaches. I used to live in CA, HI and FL and although I miss the beach, I can vacation there anytime I want . The savings here in a middle of the country house in a nice neighborhood are staggering. I'm so glad we moved to a cheaper location. Yeah sure people laugh but they are the same people struggling to keep ends met in California and HI.

Did we all forget? Housing wasn’t affordable before we voted on the pay increase. So there’s the part we seem to forget. The vote went through, then we all got paid to stay home. The rich from the north and west moved in like the OZ and in this state because of our governor you can’t live and pay if you stay home for free…duh. They then Inflated the prices of homes buying things with more money than Floridians have. Then…pay increased not by $1 a year but by many dollars in a short period. The plan was $15 by 2026 but that wasn’t good enough. Oh then the supply chains and the inflation almost 10% in some areas. When you add this all together in one years time you get the disaster that’s now been created in my home of Florida. Don’t worry what goes up will come crashing down. It’s just going to hurt really bad.

🤣🤣 U r her.. they dont care about u folks either. They want the money!!
Yes and yes it's will because they don't give a flying "f@*k . them people that are not from Florida are going to leave when it gets hot and hurricane season. How are you kidding Floridians out. The reason the are Floridians is because when it get hot or hurricanes comes we don't care it normal to us think.
You can go back to Haiti
Well you're obviously a local
The humidity was officially back yesterday in FTL. Wait till these people who moved here recently, especially Broward and Miami Dade counties. They will be begging for that AC! Wait till they realize they won’t get a break from it till like November. 🤣🤣🤣
@@jbar_85 I live in Pennsylvania I don’t live in Florida so I don’t deal with the humidity
@@anthonyr5869 I was commenting to the person above. Glad you don’t live here. The humidity is something most normal people wouldn’t handle on the regular. With climate change the world will be the same. All hot and humid.
The solution always talked about is build more housing, but no one ever talks about population control. The earth is overpopulated and becoming more so every day. Even if there was cheap luxury housing for everyone, the planet cannot sustain population growth at the current rate and I can guarantee a lack of affordable (or any) drinking water will be a lot more stressful than a lack of affordable housing.
We have population control. It's contraceptives and there are state governments that want to ban all forms of birth control.
Rah of them had FOUR kids. How are you having FOUR kids on 23000 a month!?
Didn’t you realize a pattern? They work but are single with 4 kids. That’s why you need a man, a husband so you have double income.
Marry before carry.
I thought only California has homeless issues. Why don’t y’all take care of the homeless people?
I Seeing a trend here any one else see It stright garbage
Where are the Fathers??
Sometimes deceased, sometimes incarcerated, sometimes serving abroad, sometimes one of many marriages that end on divorce.
@@jasonwilkins1969 Bad life choices equals bad results and kids are the victims strong nuclear families who value education are the solution
Women hold access to sex, they chose the men to have these children with, now the fathers are absent. Who’s fault is it?
@@Lloyd364 NOT MINE!!!
There are plenty of single white mothers too so whats ypur point
Hahaha!
It's possible, so many Liberal Northerners moved to FL, if they vote the same way Californians did, then yeah, definitely screwed.
All the money they received, they are screaming 😱 Homeless... Heeeeelll No!!
LMAO my Mon loves me so I got place to go if gets to bad so your bull 💩 not going to work here
Where are the fathers to these kids?
Looking for a new girlfriend. Who can afford child support. Let the Government take care of them. That is their job.
@@MrWelfarehater And it's the government's job to put men like you in prison and throw away the key. Your day of reckoning is here.
4 kids?! Stop producing babies you can’t financially support and you won’t be homeless with them! I’m sick of all the whining about affordable housing! Go to school, stay in school and go to college like I did! I worked my azz off doing that to support my kids and keep a roof over their heads! Everybody’s rent has risen across the country! If you’ve made poor choices in life you only have yourself to blame!
Hush
Lily don't listen to the haters. ABSOLUTELY 💯 agree. The vast majority of the homeless are there becuse of poor decisions. Drugs, alcohol, criminal record. Or just plain laziness. There are a small handful that deserve a hand up. But the rest sorry, poor choices have poor consequences!
What ever all way see same crap tryi make FL look bad I live In FL most expensive city her saintaugustine so I don't want to hear about homelessnees gets job
Stop the greed. All renters need United as army and fighting for new nation Islamic Emirate states of America with sharia laws.

they need to limit property tax increases, renters and others fall through the cracks from "save our homes" tax increase cap.
