I, also, support taking steps to require a supermajority to make <br />changes to this policy. <br />Our community members are still burdened with rent debt and should not have to shoulder higher rent <br />increases. Many of our families live on a fixed income and are having to deal with rising prices of goods, while <br />keeping up with rent to keep their home. Maintaining the max cap at 3% will be one mechanism by which we <br />can give renters a fighting chance to stay housed and prevent further displacement and destabilization of our <br />community. <br />Thank you. <br />Best, <br />Alondra Salazar <br />
