Chaos ensues at meeting
Re "Council balks at rent control moratorium" (May 22):
The unruly, threatening conduct by tenant representatives at the council meeting was much worse than just "several scuffles." It required numerous police officers and a prolonged recess of the council to restore order and safety. Council members experienced the type of reaction good landlords in Los Angeles risk constantly without the benefit of a security force or control of damage that may be done to their property. It demonstrates the sense of entitlement by many tenants that is driving responsible owners out of the city. Ten years ago, I started investing in Arizona rentals. The absence of rent control allows renters and landlords to negotiate with civility and respect, and properties can be maintained without oppressive local regulations and unpredictable cost increases.
