flag Los Angeles debates rent control reforms, proposing 3%–5% caps to ease affordability amid a 30% drop in new housing construction.

flag Los Angeles is debating reforms to its outdated rent control system, with proposed caps of 5% or 3% to ease affordability pressures, as tenant advocates push for stricter limits amid rising rents. flag The current 10% cap, based on inflation and utilities, has not been updated since 1985 and applies to about 75% of apartments. flag While city officials review analyses and public input, developers continue scaling back construction due to regulatory uncertainty, high costs, and a new property tax, leading to a 30% drop in new projects. flag The debate underscores the city’s struggle to balance tenant protection with housing supply.
