#296 / Why Rent Control Is An Issue



The latest edition of The Sun magazine (pictured) just arrived in my mailbox. The following observation by Kin Hubbard, an American cartoonist, humorist, and journalist who died in 1930, was included in the "Sunbeams" section of the magazine. The "Sunbeams" section always appears at the end of the magazine, and so tends to be the place to which I turn first. "Sunbeams" contains brief quotes of relevance to contemporary life.

Hubbard's quote does seem relevant to Proposition 10 on the state ballot, and Measure M on the Santa Cruz City ballot, both of which relate to rent control: 

The hardest thing is to take less when you can get more.
