Tenants in Santa Cruz will see new protection from arbitrary evictions. The Santa Cruz City Council passed an emergency eviction law Tuesday that enacts part of a new state law immediately. We break down the problem the council was trying to solve.
The council also may change the number of affordable units that developers are required to build. It’s called an inclusionary rate, and the city’s looking at increasing it from 15% of units in new development to 20%.
Lastly, we hear an update on 190 W. Cliff, the 89-unit condominium project across the street from the Dream Inn. Listen now.
