Yeah all those illegal immigrant bidding up the prices on California homes
(4) Cancel all H1-Bs and give those visa holders three months to leave the country. If that means they just abandon houses, furniture, cars, etc (and the loans financing thereof), so be it.
Inputed rent values are determined by house prices. There are factors involved on a neighborhood or even house by house basis that doesn't mean it is a 1:1 ratio, but close enough.

So yes, in the context of the article illegals are the problem because they create pressure on the rental market first and foremost.
California has the largest number of illegal immigrants in the United States, with an estimated 2.4 million unauthorized immigrants making up about 6.3 percent of the state's total population, according to the Pew Research Center.
they may take some good jobs with them.

Rents for living spaces are rents for living spaces. Houses for rent compete with apartments for rent.

Amend Prop. 13 so the tax basis is not inheritable, preventing the kids from renting out their parents house while virtually paying no property tax. Instead they would sell.

Seems fair as it spreads the tax base more evenly.
I've got 40 illegals jammed into an 8 x 10 574 cu ft storage shed. We rent them out for farm work, landscaping, organ harvesting,....
The government isn't forced to do any of that. What they need to do is cutback their damn spending. No need to raise revenues beyond inflation when you manage spending wisely. To much power/control/responsibility has been given to government to do things that people should be doing for themselves. Take that back and get government back down to a manageable size.
OccasionalCortex saysWhen the fancy mansion rent comes down in price, somebody who couldn't afford it can now afford it and upgrades from a 2nd tier rental. The 2nd tier rental is now unoccupied, so the owner drops the price of it, making it now affordable for someone to upgrade from the 3rd tier, etc. Finally, people in lowest-cost housing upgrade to second-lowest-cost housing and the lowest is now empty. Price drop in lowest cost housing.

Isn't it an over-simplification? I fail to see how a rent for a 5-bedroom mansion in Emerald Hills does "compete" with a studio in the quadruplex next to the Caltrain tracks in the same damn Redwood City.
