9. Private / Los Angeles: I'm all for low-income housing, but you can't demolish existing housing for that purpose.
10. ​Private / Outside of CA: The brazen money grab, even when clothed in an absurd claim as to what constitutes "low income" within this district, is absurd and repugnant and needs to be A: stopped, and B: brought into the public discourse.

23. Private / Sherman Oaks / 91403
24. Private / Outside of CA: No affordable housing!
25. Simon Hammel / Burbank / 91501: As long as politicians in Sacramento keep control of local zoning laws hundreds of miles from where they live, and cooperate speculative investment is a major player in housing or foreign investment is allowed, I am in favor of as much local control of zoning as possible.
26. Steve G. / Outside of CA: LA's homeless problem is already bad enough.
27. Private / Burbank / 91501
28. Private / East Hollywood / 90027 / CD 13: The limits placed on ED1 move in the wrong direction, and the tenant protections currently in place are wholly inadequate. Exempting wealthier or historic single family housing areas from affordable housing requirements ensures that racist housing policies/covenants of the past will continue to persist in the present, and ensures that the only areas in which new multifamily housing can be built are also the only areas in which renters already have protection from rising housing costs. If LA and California at large is going to beat this housing crisis, then everyone - the wealthy included - needs to be open to what that requires. As it stands, those with the most to lose will lose out the most if they are displaced from rent stabilized apartments without being offered comparable housing at the same rates that are affordable to them now. 
29. Dont Rhine / Hollywood Hills / 90068 / CD 4: ED1 is nothing short of an attack on rent control. The courts have deemed rent controlled housing IS affordable housing. And yet by giving landlords and developers the power to fast-track demolition of over 50% of our rent controlled housing to build "affordable housing," the mayor is merely escalating the war on rent control in the City of Los Angeles. This fact becomes clear when we consider the 11-units or less apartment buildings subject to demolition actually counts for over 50% of our rent controlled stock. Stop ED1! Save our communities!!
30. Derek H. / Pico-Union / 90006 / CD1

48. Celeste Talavern / Chino / 91710: Rent is out of control!
49. Steve Rodriguez / Norwalk / 90650: The Rent is too damn High!
50. Kelly W. / Silverlake / 90029 / CD 13: My home/ my property is going through the exact same situation. Their permits have not yet been approved, however, I just found out that the six-month disability extension that we are qualified for, was granted last year in a different Ellis eviction, won’t be honored under this SB8/ED1
    I want to stay or at the least get my six month extension. I want to help my neighbors not have the entire neighborhood completely uprooted in chaos.

62. Private / Silverlake / 90029 / CD 13: Neighbor affected.
63. Private / Hollywood / 90038 / CD 13: Directly affected.
64. ​Private / Echo Park / 90026 / CD 13: I was harassed and litigated for two years by my former landlords who bought the property where I lived for 10 years after my landlord died. They lied. They made my life hell. Now 500 sq ft apts that I paid $1200 for are $2500 and up plus parking. Flipper renovations. All the new tenants constantly complaining.
65. Private / Rosemead / 91770 / LA County: Renters have rights
66. Joseph Ben Dov / Hollywood / 90038 / CD 13: ED1 does nothing to address homelessness and only serves to increase the barriers to affordable housing. This is a terrible plan.
67. ​Anna F. / West Hollywood / 90046: I don't want people to be evicted from rent controlled apartments for new buildings with tiny units and no parking.
68. Private / Silverlake / 90029 / CD 13: Stop the chaos of these new big buildings which are destroying our history our quality of life our ability to remain in our homes and in our neighborhoods.
69. Private / Monrovia / 91016 / LA County
70. Carrie B. / Burbank /  91505: Housing costs are out of control and completely unsustainable. Rent control is one of the best ways to ensure stability.
71. Barbara G. / 90036 / CD 5: The historic (rent stabilized) units that are demolished are spacious, because they were intended for working class families back in the 1920s, 30s, 40s. A 1 BR was typically 800 to 1,100 s.f. so it could accommodate multiple generations of a family. A 2 BR was 1,000-1400 s.f., and a 3 BR was akin to a small house. Very family friendly. Contrast with these new 559 s.f. 1 BR’s. and 700 s.f. f 2 BRs— no one with kids or planning to have kids would throw money away on rent for such a squeezed space. No, families especially poor families aspire to having their own home — and they are fleeing LA in search of a home to own they can afford That isn’t LAUSD has declined steeply since 2016. What is being built now is for young single people who are transient. No one else would pay so much for so little space (and no parking).
72. Private / Sawtelle / 90025 / CD 5 or 11: This is extremely important to me as I have loved ones who are being put under relentless stress
73. Private / Outside of California: Because I care about human beings.
74. Joy W. / 90004 : I live in an RSO building at 410 N. Rossmore which is currently being renovated (thus I'm under a Tenant Habitability Plan and am temporarily living elsewhere until I can move back in, as are all other tenants in the bldg). We've been through a LOT and I support all others who deal with housing uncertainty as they navigate developers and this city. RSO HOUSING SHOULD NOT BE DESTROYED!
75. Cinzia Zanetti / 90004 / CD 5: To destroy already existing affordable RSO units and displace tenants to create tiny "affordable income qualifying units" is a farce and a charade. It does HARM and hurts people that have decent rents. So insane.
76. Cynthia C. / 90020 / CD 5: I am part of United Neighbors and we are a grass roots organization fighting to preserve R-1, Historic Districts, Multi Family and RSO's from the the City's short sighted wrong headed Planning decisions!
77. ​Greg Goldin / 90036 / CD 5: Mayor Bass has signed an executive order, which is leading to the eviction of people from their homes. Specifically, ED1 targets rent controlled apartments, the only form of existing affordable housing in Los Angeles. This is absolutely the opposite of what we need. ED1 should immediate exempt all Rent Stabilized units in the city. Failure to do so reveals exactly what the Mayor's real agenda is: She doesn't want to create affordable housing. She wants to destroy it and hand over our homes to private equity firms and Wall Street developers. 
78. Private / 90019 / CD 10: RSO housing is affordable housing! Displacing people who already have homes, destroying green space, and building an ugly high rise with no character is exactly what makes LA such a crap place to live.
79. Private / 90045 : I could be affected in the future, know someone who is affected, and am directly affected.
80. Celena J / 90041 / CD 1: We are currently experiencing the rath of ED1 project proposal. I currently live in an RSO building with 17 units. Proposed project is 152 unit 48 parking.. With the rent being so high, this would make me homeless with no where to go. 
81. Private / 90041 / CD 1: My apartment set up to be demolished per ED one live in a rent stabilization building 17 units. Most of us have been there 20 years plus elderly children and disabled people live there fighting for my own home.
82. Melanie Ulloa / 92833: I know someone who is affected.
83. Sally Juarez / 90041 / CD1: Because they are trying to demolish my home
84. Shea W. / 90041 / CD1: I want people to stay in their homes!
85. Nancy C. / 90041 / CD1: Have lived in area all my life . Retired from Lausd after 45 years . Can’t afford to move elsewhere. Plus my doctors are nearby.
86. Teresa Maldonado / 90042 : I don’t want to see people in the streets and children. 
87. Amber G. / 90041: This has been my family home my entire 29 years of life, my grandmother has lived here for many years as well. This apartments holds so many cherished memories for my family, and all the families that live here. I am directly affected.
88. Marco B. / 90041: This apartment is very important to my children and my family that lives here.
89. Private / Thousand Oaks / 91320:This is affecting many hard working people who need a place to live which they already have and Karen Bass wants it tear down existing homes to build more affordable homes which they will not be. Where will the current residents live while this is being built ? Then what will they do ? U will create more and more homeless just so Karen Bass can collect extra monies for herself she doesn’t care about her constituents.
90. Private / 90041 / CD1: Rent is not affordable in my neighborhood that I grew up in and it’s not fair for people who are sick, disabled, retired or people with 1 income. I’m wondering if that’s the requirement for living in Los Angeles now to make 3 figures? I’m not sure where you are to live if even buying basic necessities is expensive. We’re not being helped, we’re being set up to suffer. How can that be okay with our mayor?
91. Robert N. / 90041 / CD1: I have been living here for 35 years and since I moved in parking has been an issue. With wanting to build more apartments on this street parking will become way more chaos. The building is already rent control why want to knock it down and build a low income and have all the people living there having to struggle to find affordable housing? SAVE OUR HOMES
92. Private / Glassell Park / 90065 / CD 14
93. Angela H. / Highland Park / 90042 / CD 1: My beloved neighbors are being forced out of their homes and forced to leave their communities. I believe many of those who have been here long before I was born have cherished and loved their homes and their communities. Average rent in Highland park is not sustainable unless you are wealthy, and many of those who have been in our community are not able to get there. But if they were already there why should they suddenly be told and forced to give up all they have?
94. Private / Beverly Grove / 90048 / CD 5: Because it is awful that people are being evicted from their homes. And the new building they are building are hideous and are making Los Angeles a less livable city. No setbacks for greenery, less space for children to play and breathe.
95. Ariana Juarez / Eagle Rock / 90041 / CD 1: My childhood home is being threatened to be demolished to make room for gentrifiers and transplants that want to take over our neighborhood and drive us out! NOT HAPPENING go back from where you came from and stop moving here and raising our rent. 
96. Nichelle Minutti / Glassell Park / 90065 / CD 14: There is no good reason to tear down a low income housing complex to build another low income housing building. My neighbors need to keep their homes.
97. Marcus P. / Sherman Oaks / 91403: I know someone who is affected.
98. Freddy M. / North Hollywood / 91606 / CD 2: Damn to the rich feeding off the locals & ones that have been there forever.
99. Hilary O. / Eagle Rock / 90041 / CD 1: I live in a building that is at risk of being demolished. I have neighbors who are low-income, multi-generational tenants and some who don’t speak English as their primary language. They would have a very difficult time finding another place to live in NELA if they were evicted given their financial limitations. Some of my fellow tenants have been here up to 50 years, and new developments are putting their livelihood and well being at risk. They deserve better.
100. Natalya N. / Eagle Rock / 90041 / CD 1
101. Private / Eagle Rock / 90041 / CD 1: My apartment building I’ve lived in for over 20 years is going to be demolished. I don’t know where we are gonna go.
102. Private / California / 91784: So my loved ones aren't on the streets. We need affordable housing. It is very important to stop the homeless crisis.
103. Private / Eagle Rock / 90041 / CD 1: My apartment is going to be demolished.
104. Leticia A. / Eagle Rock / 90041 / CD 1: Don’t want to lose my home!
105. Arlene Lister / California / 92595
106. Amanda J / Eagle Rock / 90041 / CD 1
107. Sandra S. / 90039 / CD 14: My family lives here.
108. Private / 90065 : I live on the street where they want to demolish a small rent-stabilized building to build a massive complex. The neighborhood cannot handle double, triple, or quadruple the current number of people on that one property especially given the number of new developments in the area that have already caused negative effects due to congestion. Adding another massive multi-level complex will simply cause more harm than good.
109. Johanna O. / Eagle Rock / 90041 / CD 1: I am a tenant at 4319 Toland Way a apartment building which has 17 units and the owners which is a corporation CLG Magement want to demolish the building using the Mayors Executive Directive 1
110. Robert B. / 90029 / CD13: I am directly affected.
111. April Vasquez / 97305
112. Private / 90027: I lived there for many years, it’s a beautiful community, The traffic will become terrible. There’s not enough room to drive as it is right now. Dumb ideas.
113. Montzerrat M. / Eagle Rock / 90041 / CD 1: I want to protect my self, my neighbors, and my neighborhood from gentrification and from predatory affordable housing development.
114. Private / Eagle Rock / 90041 / CD 14: I know someone who is affected
115. ​Private / Hollywood / 90028 / CD 13: I'm tired of the lack of oversight on how we are supporting community.
116. Private / Hollywood Hills / 90068 / CD 4: Extractive economics are literally ruining us. Normal people need to be able to live in cities.
117. Private / Hollywood Hills / 90068 / CD 4: There is too little affordable housing.
118. Karen Baum / Outside of California / 15122
119. Emma S. / Hollywood Hills / 90068 / CD 4: I'm signing for stability, community, quality of life, the future of the city, and I don’t want to become homeless. The building spree that has been going on in LA has not benefited long term residents. It has driven “the market rate” of rentals up and our homeless population has exploded.
120. Michael Moore / Hollywood Hills / 90068 / CD 4: I’m in total agreement with this petition. I’m ready to live in a city that truly cares about affordable housing for the average income earner.
121. ​Private / Culver City / 90230: I have friends who are currently struggling with their living situation and it pains me to see what they have been going through. The lack of affordable and stable housing this city really takes a toll especially on the middle class who may not qualify for assistance but who are expected to pay their rent each month in spite of inconsistent work, inflation, gig economy, etc. Also, I have lived in my same apt for 14+ years and rent has all but doubled in my neighborhood and is not affordable to live nearby. I guess if you are not a millionaire you can't live in certain parts of LA and that is not the LA I know and love that consists of a melting pot. It is sad that those of us who have helped our neighborhoods thrive are now being forced out of them. This is a very important issue that affects all of our livelihoods, ability to thrive, survive and our mental and physical health. Affordable housing is at the core of it all.
122. ​Shane P. / Hollywood / 90038 / CD 13: Housing should be a right, not a privilege. And 'affordable housing' shouldn't be some Orwellian term that citizens have to decode. It should actually be affordable housing. RSO units are some of the last truly affordable housing options left in the city and developers are actively targeting them. The city council and mayor need to stop kowtowing to developers and create laws that protect people unhoused and housed.
123. Mort Burke / Culver City / 90232: This is important work and I’m honored to sign on behalf of renters rights.
124. Ashly B. / West Hollywood / 90069
125. Bridie M. / Hollywood Hills / 90068 / CD 4: Affordable housing is critical
126. Sandra I. / Hollywood / 90028 / CD 13: They are misleading the public with the wording "affordable housing" It's NOT!
127. ​Lorinda H. / Pasadena / 91101
