After city council voted to declare a housing state of emergency and put rent control up for voters decide, landlords and city staff came to city hall today to talk council out of it. The effort worked, and council voted 4-2 against the first reading of an ordinance that could've put the rent control measure in front of voters on a November ballot. Councilmembers Lynn Hurtak and Orlando Gudes voted in favor of the ordinance.
