If there is a possible way to frick over a landlord, Cali will find it. Especially NorCal.

The change in the law won’t take effect for another six months, after which Oakland landlord could face $1,000 fines if cited for housing discrimination. (Which isn’t a lot of money relative to market-rate rents in Oakland these days.)

*Northern California.

If you go to Orange County or the northern parts of LA county, you'd think you landed in paradise.

San Diego is also an amazing place to be as well.

Fortunately, all of the Tech companies know now they can operate in a remote environment and leaders know that they can leave... I absolutely see San Francisco going the way of Detroit in 20-30 years.

So it will be illegal in Oakland. A Berkeley kid could start a Landlord Advisory Service where he is given a list of names and he could advise the landlord which tenants he may be happiest renting to.

It is not under Oakland's jurisdiction for a kid to search a database in Berkeley.

I wonder if a landlord could ask for proof of employment for say the last year? If there are "big" gaps in employment ask what he was doing then?

Just because something is slightly democrat or has a balance doesn't mean it isn't nice.

I'm a GOP guy but there is no denying the absolute dumbest, fattest, and economically depressed states are all Red.

I don't see much of a correlation.

I've always found it comical when people from Alabama talk about another state or place being anything "less than." Do you know how ridiculous that sounds?

Just add this question to the rental application:

Is your favorite NFL team the Raiders?
