Math rules. The agenda pamphlet is incorrect. yr 2000 rent was $1.48/sf 2020 rent is $2.70/ sf. That is an average of just over 3 % yearly and is negligent since cost of living every year averages 2.6% and utilities have increased disproportionately as well as city services. Add in the 11% uut tax ( which I vote for ) and you almost break even if you don't include annual raising of property and sales tax. STOP increasing OUR taxes and they won't be forwarded to renters. DON'T blame the homeowners when the NEW properties ( HAVEN ) are starting with rents at $ 3.60/sf.

OUR POLICE AND FIRE HAVE BEEN HERE FOR ME FOR 50 YEARS. THEY WORK HARD AND DO THEIR VERY BEST. LEAVE THEM ALONE. DO NOT TRY TO TELL ME HOW MANY SQUARE FEET MY HOME CAN BE. IF I NEED TO ADD UPSTAIRS FOR MY EXTENDED FAMILY I WANT TO BE ABLE. TO.
