Shyne for Congress? She looks to be about as popular as Hitler in Israel. Not only for congress but for anything.
Love this!
This is called DEMOCRACY!
Government by the poor and stupid.

Stop using offensive words against the City Council.
Good job!
Interesting poll. Thanks for doing it.
You gotta love how 70% answered they live in rent controlled buildings, and 40% pay under $1,500 a month, and another 28% pay $1,500 to $2,000 a month. In other words, about 70% of those that answered don’t pay the fair market rent. But the kicker is 90% of the people who answered only shop in the most expensive markets (they don’t shop at low class places like Ralph’s or Smart & Final). And people wonder why landlords don’t want to maintain their properties. It’s called working the system, freeloading, phonies and hypocrites. We have wealthy people not paying their… Read more »
Current “fair” market is anything but. It is greed, plain and simple.
I see. So whatever your business is, you charge the least amount of money possible, even taking a 200% loss like some landlords, cause you’re not greedy. You would never charge the most you could get, based on supply and demand/market forces. That’s not you, you’re not greedy at all. But if the polling is correct, and you’re typical in Weho, you pay under $1,500 per month rent, and you shop at Gelson’s and Whole Foods!!! Right? Plain and Simple. You’re practically the new Mother Teresa. It brings a tear to my eye, just knowing the sacrifices you make for… Read more »
Be certain to decline Social Security and Medicare when you reach the qualifying age as it seems you need neither one.
Uh Pavilions is affordable when you join their plan and I have rent ctrl. So, I’m an outsourced Disney artist, I provide tech repair from my home, and I protest anti-gay groups. So it is a CRIME that I have rent ctrl and am on the WHGPI program? You are an anonymous queen. Go ahead and google my name here. I dare you. YOU are probably a landlord or paid by one to post this. If PUMP cannot afford rent what chance do I have?
I’m very familiar with you, and I’m also a huge fan of your work, and I have even donated to you, and still would. If someone can only afford $1,500 in rent, they shouldn’t be shopping at Pavillions. They should be in a line for free food somewhere. We disagree on the concept of living where one can afford to live, and that there is no right to live wherever you want, when you can’t afford it. It should be a crime to live off the backs of landlords who invested and risked money, and should be entitled to make… Read more »
I would rather have someone creative like Angry Gay Pope living here instead of some millionaire hedge fund manager that lives here 4 months out of the year.
This city was FOUNDED on the idea of renter’s rights.
Sorry you’re so unhappy with that reality.
Is “renter’s rights” another way of saying “the successful landlord owes unsuccessful me free rent for life”?
Rent control helps a small (albeit noisy) group of renters, but keeps overall rents artificially high by disincentivizing new construction.
And yet, i’m awoken at 8am every weekday to the beautiful sounds of building construction
“Enough” means he isn’t hearing construction of new apartments, but rather he is hearing the beautiful sounds of construction of new million dollar condos, for people who can actually afford to live and shop in our City, rather than be a burden and drain on everyone, including a burden on other freeloaders.
Yes there is plenty of construction and it MUST have a certain amount of low income housing. Say, what about that giant hole at the “Melrose Triangle.” https://wehoonline.com/2023/05/25/melrose-triangle-lake-west-hollywood/
You say there is not enough construction and this is a big hole in the ground just sitting there!
Are you the same patron I yelled at in Pavillion’s for taking their dog there? Thanks for your donations. I don’t understand what you are saying? I didn’t say I deserve to live here I simply say that if only rich people deserve to live here good luck hiring a cop, a teacher or a mcdonalds employee. They are not going to drive one hour one way to kiss rich ass in BH paradise. I am on SNAP so I don’t need to “afford” to go to Pavillions I prefer to spend my dollars (or the gov’ts) locally. Should I… Read more »
You didn’t yell at me at Pavillion’s. Businesses will pay whatever it takes to get people to show up for work. There are places in oil boom towns in the Dakotas where there were such severe shortages of fast food type jobs, they were paying like $50 an hour to get people to show up. They did show up, and the businesses still made money cause they raised prices too. It’s supply and demand of workers. In other words, free enterprise works. If business have to pay extra to get people to show up from further away, they will do… Read more »
I can only imagine what would happen to west Hollywood if all the rent controlled “freeloaders” were forced to leave. I dont think it would have the effect you think it would. You’re just another greedy selfish short sighted landlord. Why dont YOU leave. Nobody is forcing you to do business in West Hollywood.
You always harp about the “free market”, well rent control has always been a part of West Hollywood. If you don’t like it you’re free to take your business elsewhere. Your sense of entitlement is very strong here.
What makes you think that shopping at Ralphs’s is better (cheaper) than shopping at Trader Joe’s, for instance? It’s not, although def less expensive than Gelson’s.
The rent laws have been in place since WeHo became a city. If landlords don’t like it, they can sell and rent elsewhere but they know what they’re getting into. Also, do you have any idea how much buildings have appreciated just in the past 10 years? They’re doing just fine. Finally, the influx of high-end properties are doing more damage to the rental community than rent control.
Don’t forget the horror that is AIRBNB to rental communities!
They were already landlords before Weho became a City. In other words, they were free to set prices until the City took their private property rights away from them. And if an original landlord later sold their property to a new landlord post Weho Cityhood, they sold their property at a much lower price because the City devalued their private property. I don’t know how much buildings have appreciated in the past 10 years, but I guarantee you it’s not as much as it would have been, had it been a free and fair market. They may be doing “just… Read more »
Oh here she goes again. Something tells me this “wehoqueen” is a landlord. Well guess what mary, landlords have had it too good for too long. Its time for the tables to turn. Enough with your greed.
I’ve made it clear I am a landlord. When you refer to me as “she”, I presume that’s gay lingo, like when the older queens refer to other older queens as “she”. Tell us what your occupation is, so I can imagine the City impose a 1% or so annual increase on your salary, going back for the last 40 years. Or do you believe only landlords income should be capped, probably cause you are sad you didn’t have the foresight to invest in property a long time ago?
You’re a landlord but you “don’t know how much buildings have appreciated in the past 10 years”
This doesn’t make any sense.
Apparently I have voted for some of these issues before. It would be nice to see what the final tally was.
