The City of Santa Cruz wants to create an online survey of landlords and tenants. It’s an attempt to get reliable data on rents, evictions, housing types and other elements of the city’s rental market. The city council majority wants to make the survey mandatory. We share with with you what landlords and tenants make of it. Plus: an update on the city’s corridor plan, a push toward district elections, what’s up with 5G cell towers and the status of a state bill that would bring $16 million of affordable housing funding to Santa Cruz.
