Proposition 33, titled Expands Local Governments’ Authority to Enact Rent Control on Residential Property, is a California ballot proposition and initiative statute that will be voted on in the 2024 general election on November 5. The proposition, if passed, would repeal the Costa–Hawkins Rental Housing Act, which prevents local governments from establishing rent and vacancy control over certain kinds of housing, and would prohibit the state from limiting local rent control.[1]
Support
[edit]The official support statement of the proposition argues that "The rent is too damn high. One million people have left California. Rent control in America has worked to keep people in their homes since 1919. California’s 17 million renters need relief. Homeowners and taxpayers benefit from stable communities. The California dream is dying. You can help save it."[2]

Opposition
[edit]The official oppositional statement of the proposition argues "Don’t be fooled by the latest corporate landlord anti-housing scheme. California voters have rejected this radical proposal twice before, because it would freeze the construction of new housing and could effectively reverse dozens of new state housing laws. Vote No on 33 to protect new affordable housing and California homeowners."[2]
