Centennial Anniversary Special Edition

REALLY HAPPY WITH THEIR PROPERTY MANAGEMENT. Truth be told, property management is the last thing on their minds.

Not because they’re dogs. But because their really great owners rented a home managed by Harland Property Management. Harland’s experts take care of everything quickly, with years of experience and powerful technology too. Thanks to Harland, these pups’ owners spend practically zero time hassling with home maintenance issues, and more time coddling the pups — as a real home should be.

GET REAL. GET HARLAND.

t’s all up to you.

Your support, your backing, your assistance – it’s all up to you. No organization, belief, product, service or idea would exist, or persist, without the support of the individual.

No idea, organization or belief can sustain itself without the help and support of individuals – Many great ideas in the course of human history have vanished because individuals believed the idea was bigger than themselves and that it would continue in perpetuity without their support.

The Southern California Rental Housing Association (SCRHA) when it was created in 1919 was what? It was an idea and look what it has become today. One hundred years later OUR ASSOCIATION is thriving and expanding, representing thousands of individuals and businesses.

The Southern California Rental Housing Association is celebrating 100 years of existence this month. On September 16, we are having a big birthday celebration at the Lafayette Hotel in commemoration of this milestone. The celebration is also about you and because of you, our members, the SCRHA will thrive for the next 100 years.

What is the big deal? The SCRHA is 100 years old, so what? Our organization is older than most of us; it will outlive all of us. To think the SCRHA is 100 years old is a spectacular accomplishment. Not many organizations have been around or will last that long.

The Southern California Rental Housing Association has experienced many challenges in its century of existence. It will encounter many more challenges, but it will overcome those challenges with your help.

We will need your help with rent control and other policies that will affect the rental housing industry in the future.

On September 27, we will be holding our Golf Classic at the Coronado Municipal Golf Course.

The Golf Classic is another great opportunity to network with industry professionals, spend the day golfing (you don’t need to be good to play), and help support SCRHA causes. Remember, the SCRHA’s existence helps other organizations too.

We have our Mark of Excellence Awards on Friday, November 1, at Viejas Casino & Resort.

You don’t have to be a property manager or a supplier to attend or sponsor – it is open to everyone.

But, act now because tickets and all sponsorship opportunities will sell out.

It’s all up to you, the members. Hundreds of volunteers give their time and contributions to support SCRHA’s educational opportunities, networking and sponsorships, and advocacy efforts.

But, we will need more volunteers and more members to join our Association. Spread the word!

There are many businesses in the rental housing industry that are unaware of the SCRHA and unaware of the threats to the industry.

Please greet our new and continuing members and do business with SCRHA members before considering non-members. If you do business with an owner, property manager or supplier and they are not a SCRHA member, tell them about us and why they should join the SCRHA. It is you the members that helps make the SCRHA happen. Thank you and we appreciate your support.

For more information about SCRHA activities and programs, members can read them in SCRHA announcements, visit the SCRHA website at socalrha.org or call the Association at (858) 278-8070.

E

arlier this year, the Southern California Rental Housing Association (SCRHA) emailed surveys to Independent Owners, Property Management Companies and Supplier members who attended the Education Conference & EXPO in April. The surveys asked members to describe their business type, provide feedback on SCRHA classes, events, products and services, and why they joined the Association.

Here are some summary results: SCRHA-PAC Reverse Trade Show, Education Conference & EXPO, and Mark of Excellence events ranked the highest among Supplier members who responded. As for classes, Supplier members said the Legislative Updates and Supplier Council meetings provided them the most value. When asked why they didn’t participate or sponsor an event, Suppliers said the cost to sponsor or attend, scheduling, and location were reasons why they didn’t participate.

Most Property Management members that answered the survey said they managed 15 or fewer rental properties. The most common types of rental properties managed by them were single-family homes, market rate apartment communities, and affordable (rent restricted) complexes. Education courses, access to rental forms, operations advice, and networking opportunities provided the most value to property managers. The most interesting fact: Only 3 property managers answered Legislative Advocacy as a reason for joining the SCRHA. Most Independent Rental Owner members who answered the survey stated they were either retired or worked in the real estate industry and earned most of their income through their rental properties.

The three most popular events among owners were the Education Conference & EXPO, the Apartment Perspective, and Member Networking events.

Regarding SCRHA education classes, owner members

said the Independent Rental Owner (IROC) classes, the Maintenance 101 Series, and Legislative Update classes were the most valuable to them. Owner members said they would prefer the Association send fewer emails. Owners said SCRHA rental forms, resident screening service, surveys, white papers, and Rental Advisor (formerly the RentalOwner) Magazine, were the products and services that provided them the most value.

The SCRHA plans to send more targeted, yet shorter, surveys to members in the future. We want to use the feedback to create and tailor our products and services to meet your needs. We also want to improve our communications so members are better informed and understand the importance of our education programs, networking and business development opportunities, as well as our local and state advocacy.

The Legislative Updates help members understand and prepare for new changes in local and state laws affecting rental housing. The Association every year tirelessly lobbies for or against legislation affecting the rental housing industry like rent control. The updates are an opportunity to alert members to communicate with their elected representatives on issues important to the rental housing industry.

There might be opportunities available to purchase tickets or sponsorships for the Mark of Excellence Awards on Friday, November 1, but don’t wait because this event will sell out. Mark your calendars now for events in 2020 like the Education Conference & EXPO on April 20.

The Association is here to serve you. We can’t improve your experience if you don’t share your feedback with us. You can always email us at info@ socalrha.org if you have a suggestion.

Independent Owners and Property Managers should have received the Fall 2019 Vacancy & Rental Rate Survey in the mail. Members can download and complete a PDF fillable version of the survey at socalrha.org.

The SCRHA Story

By Southern California Rental Housing Association The Southern California Rental Housing Association (SCRHA) has been working to help rental property owners and managers since its creation in 1919. In fact, the meeting minutes from the first recorded meeting held at the U.S. Grant Hotel on September 16, 1919 say that “It was moved and carried that we proceed to form a permanent organization…in relation to matters pertaining to management of houses and the need for cooperation.”

The Minutes from that same meeting reflect that the total expense for the meeting was $5.65.

The Association has grown and changed. Our joint budget for the SCRHA and San Diego County Multi-Housing Corporation (the Association’s for-profit subsidiary) is nearly $1.9 million. However, through all the years of the Association’s existence, the basic goal of working in cooperation to help those who own or manage rental housing remains our focus.

The membership of the SCRHA ranges from the individual rental property owners with a single rental unit to some of the largest corporate entities operating thousands of rental units throughout the nation. As a result, the products and services offered by the Association are much like a menu that allows members to mix and match our services to meet their needs.

rental housing industry is a key function.

Services of SCRHA As the trade group for the rental housing industry, our goods and services are as diverse as the makeup of our membership.

A brief review of our services includes:

• State Government –We diligently work to build strong relationships with legislators and allied industries in Sacramento to keep SCRHA in a leadership position to defeat or defend policy initiatives that will affect the industry.

Legislative Advocacy The action of government at all levels has a dramatic impact on the operation and success of our industry. As a result, the collective power of the Association in standing for the interests of the

• Local Government – SCRHA acts as the front line of defense against or in support of policies and actions of local governments that will affect the rental housing industry. This scope of activity can include the County government, local cities, county districts, and community groups.

• National Government – SCRHA supplies grassroots advocacy for the joint legislative efforts of the National Apartment Association and the National Multi Housing September 2019 socalrha.org | 7

Council, which defends the interests of our industry in Washington D.C. Education The Association’s educational efforts are targeted at informing and empowering rental property owners and managers with the tools they need to run their communities in an ethical and business-like manner. The range of the classes is designed to address the needs of owners and managers with one or two rental homes to individuals and companies with a portfolio of rental communities with thousands of rental homes.

Communications If you were to ask the average SCRHA member what is the most tangible benefit they receive, you would usually find that the Rental Advisor Magazine is the one we are most recognized by. Although the magazine hasn’t always had

the same name, we have been publishing a magazine since 1940.

As popular as the magazine is, we must keep track of new digital communications tools. In 2007, The Advisor e-newsletter was added, providing a overview of the Association’s activities for the following six weeks. The Association updated the website, socalrha.org. In 2011, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter profiles were added to attract an everevolving younger demographic of members.

Member Resources Keeping up to date with the changes in our industry can be a daunting task. As a result, the Association has an array of member services that help ensure the success of rental property owners. These services include:

Services – Access to reliable information when evaluating prospective residents is the most crucial decision that you can make as a rental property owner or manager.

• Online Rental Forms – The SCRHA rental forms are fillin ready through BlueInk. Additionally, forms can be downloaded from socalrha.org at no cost for members. Online InfoLink resident screening users also can use the forms for free through the integrated document management system, which allows them to populate their rental forms with the information entered to run their background reports. Additionally, if you would like to subscribe to the NAA Click and Lease to manage your rental forms and import that information into your property management software you can do that as well.

SD City Council Adopts Policies aimed at boosting housing production, ending homelessness

The San Diego City Council recently approved a series of policies intended to build more housing in the City. Of course, the council’s decisions were not without controversy. Will the policies do enough to help San Diego’s housing affordability crisis? Last July and August, the San Diego City Council narrowly approved Council President Gomez’s proposal to make substantial changes to the city’s Inclusionary Housing policy. Later in the same week, the city council took action to update the community plan covering the Balboa and Morena Boulevard Neighborhoods. In August, the City Council adopted code changes to the City’s Land Development Code.

Inclusionary Housing Ordinance

On July 30, the City Council approved changes to the city’s Inclusionary Housing policy on 5-4 vote despite the City’s Planning Commission recommendation that the Council reject the Council President’s proposal. The Council’s action nearly doubles the In-Lieu Fee developers will need to pay if they opt not to include rent-restricted affordable units in new housing projects.

The fee will increase over a three-year period.

The current fee of $12.73 a square foot will incrementally rise starting July 20, 2020 up to $22 square foot by July 2023. The fee was last increased in 2003. Developers will be required to lease 10% of developments with 10 or more rental units at or below 50% of the county’s Area Median Income (AMI) for a family of four earning an annual income of $53,500, or 15% of units at or below 80% of the AMI for a family of four with a yearly income of $85,600.

The Southern California Rental Housing Association along with a coalition of business and industry organizations attended the hearing to express deep concerns with Gomez’s plan, urging the City Council to accept a compromise plan offered by the coalition. Counter to a report commissioned by Council President Gomez concluding that increasing the In-Lieu fee would not impact new affordable or market-rate residential development, the coalition commissioned its own study concluding that the fee increase would decrease housing production by 5 percent, increase monthly rents by 3 percent and would only add 73 new affordable units per year.

September 2019 socalrha.org | 11

Seeking a compromise, the coalition submitted a letter to the City Council asking that conditions be incorporated into the final proposal. The coalition asked that projects already in the city’s entitlement process be grandfathered so they would not be affected by the fee increase. The coalition also asked the percentage of rent-restricted units be set aside for more people with slightly higher incomes. The proposal also included an indexing component so the In-Lieu fee could be adjusted annually, and that city begin tracking how city policies impact housing production.

Middle-Income Density Bonus Program

The City Council will have a ‘second reading’ of the ordinance later in the year and another vote to ratify the ordinance. The question remains will San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer veto the ordinance? While the City Council adopted the ordinance, it failed to receive the six votes needed to override a potential veto by the Mayor. Mayor Faulconer did not decide if he was going to veto the ordinance when this article was written but the coalition opposing the ordinance in its current form did make the request.

San Diego City Housing Bond

After the City Council adopted the changes to Inclusionary Housing Policy, the Council approved a proposal expanding the City’s Density Bonus program. Under the program, if a builder meets the City’s requirement by reserving enough units for low-income residents, the developer receives an “moderate-income” density bonus of 25 percent more units if the builder sets aside another 10 percent of a project’s units for moderate-income residents. The proposal was supported by the coalition and organized labor groups.

On July 31, the San Diego City Council Rules Committee voted to direct the City Attorney’s Office to draft an initiative creating a $900 million Housing Bond for the November 2020 ballot. The initiative would allow San Diego to issue $900 million in bonds to build 7,500 affordable housing for targeted populations. The housing bond will be placed on the November 2020 ballot if approved by the city council.

The City Council has until December 6 to approve the initiative for the 2020 ballot. The initiative will need

at least two-thirds or greater approval by city voters.

If approved by voters, property taxes will increase for San Diego Property Owners an average of $72 per year.

Morena Area Specific Plan

Later that week, the City Council approved new changes to the Morena Corridor Specific Plan and Balboa Avenue Station. The changes are intended to better utilize the Mid-Coast Trolley Extension project. The new Area Specific Plans affect the Morena and Pacific Beach communities and the Mid-Coast Trolley rail project currently under construction that would connect Downtown San Diego with University City. The new plan allows the city to add approximately 9,000 new housing units.

The plan increases the building height limits from 45 to 65 feet for residential projects near the existing Linda Vista/Morena station and increases height limits up to 100 feet for projects close to the new Tecolote Trolley station. The plan increases the number of new housing units in the area from 1,386 to 7,016.

The plan also increases the units per acre for projects located in Pacific Beach, but the building height limit

will remain at 30-feet for projects in coastal areas.

The plan will increase the number of new housing units from 1,221 to 4,729 so more units can be built closer to the Balboa Avenue Station. The plan will add new bike lanes and other design improvements to ease traffic congestion and pedestrian access to the Trolley.

The City Council also added a requirement that 15 percent of the units built near the Linda Vista Trolley stations be reserved for tenants earning an area median income of $86,300/year or less. The plan will let the city collect Development Impact Fees to build tunnels or bridges.

Supporters of the Area Specific Plans say it will create new opportunities to add more housing in transit corridors, build more trolley stations and create new bike lanes, and help San Diego achieve its Climate Action Goals. Supporters included business and industry organizations.

Opponents argued that it will increase traffic, disrupt community character of the Linda Vista and Pacific Beach communities, and would do nothing to help lower-income San Diegans get access to housing.

Opponents including several community groups

September 2019 socalrha.org | 13

and environmentalists. Opponents said they will contemplate taking legal action to stop the plan from going forward.

The SCRHA supports local governments that adopt Community Plan Updates that increase housing supply. The new Area Specific Plan will help the city address its housing affordability crisis.

12th Update of San Diego’s Land Development Code

The City Council unanimously supported reforms to the City’s Land Development Code, known as the 12th Code Update on August 12. The purpose of the 12th Code Update is to make it easier and faster for housing to get built. Most of the reforms in the latest update focused on eliminating onerous and expensive regulations for residential projects intended for the disabled, foster youth, homeless, seniors, veterans and active duty servicemembers.

The reforms adopted by the City Council include allowing by-right construction of housing for those experiencing homelessness, granting developers who build transitional housing the opportunity to waive development impact fees, eliminating regulations placed on developers who design projects designed to help formerly homeless individuals, and streamlining the process and reducing permitting fees for Accessory Dwelling Units and other junior companion units.

Helix Water District adopt Rate Increase

The Helix Water District Board of Directors adopted a 2.9 percent increase in water rates in August. The District staff say the increase was necessary because of the District’s increased operating and maintenance costs, the need to expand its water infrastructure and rising water costs passed along from the San Diego County Water Authority. The Board of Directors also voted to increase fees for multifamily, commercial and government customers participating in the district’s irrigation program. Helix began informing residents of the rate changes in August. Beginning January 1, 2020, the typical customer will see their rates increase an average of $4.59 every two months – the increases will be reflected in their November and December billing periods.

CAPITOL NEWS

By: Pat Moran with Aaron Read & Associates, SCRHA's State Lobbying Firm The Legislature has returned from their summer recess and, as we head down the home stretch toward the end of session, SCRHA is still working on AB 1482; the bill that would implement statewide rent control. At present, AB 1482 is on the Senate Appropriations suspense file. This means the bill has been placed on hold so the committee can assess its financial impact. When the bill was first introduced, the bill was limited to just rent control. However, once the bill moved to the Senate and after we killed all other “just cause” legislation, the author amended “just cause” into AB 1482.

The rent control portions of the bill would cap annual rent increases at 7% plus the consumer price index (the same formula adopted earlier this year in Oregon). The bill would apply to nearly all of California’s rental housing stock, including apartments and some single-family homes, and it would apply in jurisdictions where voters and local elected leaders have rejected rent control policies.

We expect amendments to the bill to placate the California Association of REALTORS® (C.A.R.) (who removed their opposition in the Assembly as a result

of promised amendments) and California Building Industry Association (CBIA). During the Summer break and this past week, we continue(d) to meet with legislators and their staff outlining our concerns with the bill. We will keep you informed on our progress.

Also, SB 329 (Mitchell) is still alive in the Assembly. Her bill makes it discriminatory to deny applicants for rental housing simply because they have a Section 8 voucher. While it is similar to the City of San Diego’s local measure that took effect August 1st, SCRHA vigorously opposes the measure.

While SCRHA supports voluntary participation in the program, we are opposed to mandating property owners’ participation.

Other than these two bills, SCRHA opposed and defeated several other high-profile, anti-property owner legislation this year. They include:

AB 724 (Wicks) – the bill would have established a statewide rental registry. The cost of the rental

registry was in the neighborhood of $20 million.

Specifically, it would have required the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to create an online rental registry to collect and disseminate detailed information about rental housing throughout the state.

1. Required HCD to create, by January 1, 2021, a rental registry online portal to receive information from landlords and disseminate the information to the public.

2. Required each landlord who owns or operates residential property that includes more than 15 units to complete the rental registry form created by HCD and available at the online portal, no later than 90 days after January 1, 2021, and no later than March 31 of every year thereafter, or face a civil penalty of $50 for each rental unit that a landlord does not register.

3. Specifies the information required on the rental registry form to include, in part, legal addresses, including the addresses of individual units; identification of ownership; property size, including number of bedrooms and bathrooms and square footage; tenancy and eviction data; payments collected for rent and utilities; vacancy rates; and whether properties are subject to rent control ordinances.

4. Required a code enforcement officer to report a residential property owned or operated by a landlord subject to this bill to HCD and HCD to require that landlord to register the property if the property has

habitability violations and is not already registered pursuant to this bill.

5. Required the rental registry online portal to comply with all relevant state and federal laws regarding privacy and personally identifying information.

AB 36 (Bloom) –would have amended Costa-

Hawkins. Would have allowed cities and counties to expand local rent control to building as they turn 10-years old. It also expanded to single family homes.

have implemented “just cause” statewide. Some of the more concerning clauses were:

• Prohibits a landlord from terminating a residential tenancy without just cause, regardless of whether the tenancy is subject to a written lease agreement, if the tenancy has lasted at least six months.

• Defines "just cause" as either at-fault just cause or no-fault just cause. Defines "at-fault just cause" as including any of the following: a) failure to pay rent; b) substantial breach of a material term of the rental agreement, including, but not limited to, violation of a lease provision after being issued a written notice to stop the violation.; c) nuisance; d) waste; e) refusal, by the tenant to sign a new lease that is identical to the previous lease, after the previous lease expired; and f) illegal conduct, including, but not limited to, using the residential property for criminal activity, with the caveat that a charge or conviction for a crime that is No job is too small . . . unrelated to the tenancy does No problem is too large! not constitute at-fault just cause.

• Defines "no-fault just cause" as including any of the following: To reach us please call: a) owner intent to occupy the 619.295.6568 (Coastal) property, if (i) the tenant agrees 619.464.6568 (Inland) in writing to the termination or Email Address: (ii) if a lease provision provides kennedyelectric@cox.net for termination based on the Web Address: owner's unilateral decision to www.tomkennedyelectric.com so occupy; b) withdrawal of the property from the rental market; c) unsafe habitation, as Take advantage of our monthly determined by a government lighting and boom truck service. agency that has issued an order to vacate, order to comply,

or other order that necessitates vacating the residential property; and d) intent to demolish or to substantially remodel.

• Requires that, before issuing a tenant a notice to terminate tenancy for a curable violation of the lease agreement, the landlord must first provide the tenant with a notice of the violation and an opportunity to cure it.

• Requires landlords that terminate tenancy for nofault just cause to notify the tenant of the tenant's right to, and to directly provide the tenant with, a relocation assistance payment, regardless of the tenant's income. Specifies relocation assistance equal to two months’ rent for tenancies of between six months and two years, and three months’ rent for tenancies of two years or more.

• Clarifies that this bill does not prevent adoption or enforcement of a local rule or ordinance that requires just cause for eviction if that rule or ordinance is determined to provide a higher level of tenant protections than the provisions of this bill.

• Sets a sunset date of January 1, 2030.

Rent Control: An Enduring Symptom of Fear

By Neil Fjellestad, FBS Property Management, AMO

However, even members of the “great generation” required rules for sacrifice. It was extremely important that there weren’t winners and losers; fairness has always been at the heart of trust.

I’m not sure whether rent control came up in the initial discussions surrounding the creation of a rental housing association, but I suspect it could have. No, I wasn’t there-haha! But it has been my privilege to connect with local rental owners for 50 years; onehalf the centennial period we currently celebrate, and I can attest that the subject of rent control has always been on the lips and/or the minds of at least some of us. Why is this a constant threat to rental owners and under what conditions does it present itself as a possible solution to renters?

Perhaps, I can review some local housing history as a backdrop. Locally we experienced government guidelines and controls of housing during and after WWII. Such a layer of additional accountability due to scarcity and necessary public mandates were not uncommon during periods of war or disaster.

These are times during our proud history that we could agree to sacrifice for the common good.

I was born a “boomer” and as I graduated from Point Loma High in 1965 (the largest class in US history up to that point) we believed less in what our parents told us and more in ourselves.

It required a “draft” to get our participation in war or anything designated as expected or required by government. Our generation’s idea of sacrifice and fairness had a built-in mistrust as we worked our way through the seventies.

In 1976, San Diego home prices were on par with the national median price. Between 1976 through 1979 local home prices doubled and moved our region toward becoming labeled “unaffordable.”

This dramatic shift in property values brought property taxes that were already burdening home ownership, especially for seniors living on fixed income. Property tax was already on a steady rise all through the sixties and seventies due to the education costs of the rising boomer population. There was also an escalation of highway construction. Seniors were

mistrustful of how their property taxes were spent, finding it an unfair burden since they no longer had children in school and were driving less as well.

Mistrust and a feeling of unfairness become an unmitigated fear in the last half of the seventies and a growing rage for a vocal few.

One unlikely hero stepped forward inside the California political scene and became focused on a specific message that got traction.

He would slam his fist on whatever podium was in the public meeting in which he appeared and declared that property taxes were unfair to grandmothers and he was “mad as hell.” This unlikely man of the hour, Howard Jarvis, became an author of Proposition 13 that was voted into law in 1978. It remains as California law today 40+ years later.

So, we enter the decade of the 80s with housing becoming unaffordable in San Diego.

Obviously, the 40-45% of local households that were rentals during the time were growing mistrustful of landlords using property tax increases as an excuse to raise rent. From a renter’s perspective this was solved for property owners with Prop 13, but rents were not being rebated to share their windfall.

Perceived by renters as totally September 2019 socalrha.org | 35

unfair brought impending rage by a vocal few and the result: a rent stabilization Proposition O that qualified for the local ballot in 1980.

Proposition O was put down mostly due to its language and efforts of this Association along with the Realtors working together through a Speakers Bureau that was established to educate the public on this issue.

A former business partner and lifelong friend, Darryl Rapp was a designated leader from our firm that helped organize this campaign. I was also proud that this Association, around the personal leadership of DJ Ryan, didn’t sit back and take the win of O. There was ample mistrust, fear and legitimate concern on the part of renters who were left without

meaningful representation.

So, from this “defense came a new offense.” Whereas, if our renters are concerned, we as rental housing providers must demonstrate genuine concern as well by putting ourselves on the firing line. The Resident Relations Foundation was established as a public demonstration for our Association’s concern. We provided a hotline manned by staff and volunteers to enhance renter support, give advice and attempt to resolve issues with fairness and equity.

Well, the 80s and 90s had twists and turns that left us reeling nationally as individual rental owners. The triple threat of the highest interest rates we had ever experienced were allowed by the government as a financial means to stall and/ or slow down the paper value

appreciation of housing beyond affordability. Then we had the complete government overhaul of our tax system that slowed down the after-tax cost and investment return of capital in income producing real estate.

Finally, before the 80s decade was completed, we endured the government sponsored destruction of the savings and loan industry; a primary source of mortgage lending.

Locally, housing prices were stagnant until 1986 and I was sure that in Southern California sluggish rents would mean continued price stagnation. I was stunned that median house prices dramatically inflated between 1986 through 1989 before the next plateau of the nineties. Southern California prices seemed to be totally disconnected to underlying rents and stayed that way

throughout the nineties which was not healthy for rental housing owners or the Association that represented us. This was a real test of volunteer leadership, and to the credit of those key individuals that held our Association together while many walked away. I have fond memories of the increased volunteer time invested, debates over tough decisions, the sacrifices required by all of us. The camaraderie and friendships sown during this period have lasted.

At the turn of the new century in Southern California a return of real estate optimism evolved into euphoria as ordinary people believed home prices could only go up. If only they could borrow the down payment their economic concerns and/or wealth would take care of itself. The definition of a bubble is when a complicated situation is fed by one point of view while the opposition is not considered; in this case that California property values would decline. Well, we know how this simplistic, but popular thinking turned out.

However, several things are forgotten about the effects of the “great recession” such as: the layers of misinformation and, in some cases, deceit revealed that there were “insiders and outsiders” (losers and winners) so enduring hardship became unfair to many. As a result, behavior changed as many walked away from mortgage responsibilities.

Renting dramatically increased while some just stayed in the property and quit paying the mortgage. As renting increased and supply decreased, rental rates increased. Here again are winners and losers. For California rental owners, the positive result over this extended period was to finally tie price to underlying rent. This was a win, bringing enduring economic value back into the long-term ownership of rental housing.

However, about 5 years ago it became clear to those of us who are experienced in similar economic regions that Southern California was changing dramatically and that the environment surrounding successful long-term rental ownership was becoming substantially more complicated.

The technologies that connect us to property and service providers; renter demands and requirements; the regulations that surround maintaining and improving a physically old housing inventory and the supporting infrastructure have substantially shifted. Even the logic that supports our defense against rent control; that it’s wrong, unfair and could never be supported by thinking people, continues to become more complicated in explanation. We also contend that it solves nothing

and risks everything. However, our logic has not produced any housing either.

It’s time to look up and listen because currently we are not believable to renters. There is a setpoint for distrust in California, in this country and throughout the world that perhaps exceeds anytime in the last 100 years.

It seems to be getting worse. A recent national survey to measure levels of “trust” versus “distrust” found distrust has spread from institutional mistrust to a general mistrust of individuals.

Also, generational differentials stood out demonstrating that millennials are 2.5 times more likely to distrust than “boomers” possibly due to the loss and forced sacrifices experienced in their formative years. That lack of control and the fear of being left out of “the improbable American dream” can develop a perception that will require time and effort to penetrate.

I have a passion for rental housing as an important contribution to self-reliance, fundamental to sustaining financial independence and necessary to community quality of life. I believe that my business purpose must be practiced in the spirit of the golden rule and with a long-term vision. I celebrate the First Centennial of this Southern California Rental Housing Association as a singular organization that should be applauded and supported as the only organization that in my 50 years of business has maintained and extended my best efforts to sustain my passion and purpose.

Q&A Q

with Past President

Linda Morris

What were the challenges facing you as president of Southern California Rental Housing Association?

A

There were two major issues during my time as president.

I led while we worked through our relationship with CAA and the changes that were affecting SDCAA and its membership. CAA did not feel being a member of the National Apartment Association SCRHA Ad - 04-24-19.pdf 1 4/24/2019 4:43:16 PM

was valuable for California members. Additionally, CAA made significant changes in the board representation, so the majority of the members were large owners.

The representation changed, and smaller owners did not feel they had a voice at CAA. SDCAA felt it was important to remain a member of NAA which ultimately caused SDCAA to split away from CAA.

Q

What is your favorite memory from your term as president?

A

There are so many memories.

Being president was an amazing experience that educated me in the political world and the behind-the-scenes negotiations that go on to accomplish the goal.

Additionally, I came away with so many new friends, wonderful memories, and connections locally, statewide, and nationally.

It gave me a new appreciation on how an association works behind the scenes and how fortunate we are in San Diego to have a dedicated staff.

I am forever grateful for my experience as President of SDCAA. It was a wonderful education!

What is your favorite memory from your term as president?

The Association gained a lot of political strength by improving our relationships with local politicians and ramping up our PAC fundraising. We hired a young Bob Pinnegar to lead our governmental affairs. Bob proved so effective that he eventually became executive director in San Diego and now serves in that role at the National Apartment Association.
