DESCRIPTION:The Green Party Housing and Land Use Seminar Series Presents:     
 Landlords, Tenants and Rent Control: Is Consensus Ever Possible?     
 Presentations by:      Janan New, Executive Director, San Francisco 
 Apartment Association  Ted Gullicksen, Office Manager, San Francisco 
 Tenants Union     Thursday, May 27th, 7 - 9 pm  New College of California  
 777 Valencia Street, San Francisco     This month's workshop features two 
 long-time participants with San Francisco rent control laws, perhaps San 
 Francisco's thorniest land use issue of all. The topic goes to the heart of 
 the question of who is going to live here in the decades to come. Every 
 year tenants save hundreds of millions of dollars from rent control 
 restrictions on landlords, yet every year there are more rent controlled 
 apartments permanently lost to Ellis Act evictions, apartment mergers, 
 owner-move-in evictions and developers building new housing not subject to 
 rent control on parcels that once contained rent controlled units. Join us 
 on May 27th and learn about the history of San Francisco rent control, how 
 it currently operates, who benefits and who loses, and what challenges lie 
 in the future. Audience questions and involvement are encouraged. The 
 seminars are free and open to the public.  This is the fourth seminar in a 
 monthly series on housing and land use issues sponsored by the San 
 Francisco Green Party and New College of California. The seminar series, 
 hosted every last Thursday of the month, includes a diverse range of topics 
 and speakers--SF Supervisors, activists, attorneys, developers, nonprofit 
 builders and city planners--policymakers and advocates from all sides of 
 our housing and development battles. Here’s a chance for you to consider 
 diverse, frequently contradictory opinions, and make up your own mind on 
 important issues facing the city.     The prior three seminars have been 
 informative, lively and entertaining. For more information about the 
 seminar series and the Green Party Housing and Land Use working group, see:
