Los Angeles Times: It’s Time to End L.A.’s Rent Freeze

The Los Angeles Times Editorial Board argues in favor of ending a rent freeze in Los Angeles that’s been in place since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. “The rent freeze has served its purpose, and it’s time to end it,” the editorial board writes. To effectively address housing affordability, they urged Mayor Karen Bass to press for “more, faster, cheaper housing in all corners of the city, not blocking affordable projects in the face of local opposition or taking potential development sites off the table.” – Los Angeles Times
