Steve Zylstra, CEO of the Arizona Technology Council, said he thinks the plan is “fabulous,” but there isn’t anything new or unique about it.

Read this the other day regarding Donald Trumps recent executive order on examining the affects of regulatory barriers at the Federal, State, local levels on the availability and development of affordable housing. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-establishing-white-house-council-eliminating-regulatory-barriers-affordable-housing/The order states that the council endeavors to encourage State, local, and tribal governments to reduce regulatory barriers to the development of affordable housing.Which in turn, aims to increase the supply of affordable housing.I asked myself what effect will the have on the REI space and my first thought was that the increase in supply will cause rent and values to slow down or possibly even stagnate all together. 

This is from July 16th.....During the latest City Council meeting, many Aldermen voiced reservations about the relocation fee, so it was pulled from consideration and replace by substituted provisions, including:Allowing a tenant to pay back rent after an eviction process beginsRent must be accepted at any time prior to a judgment being enteredTenancy of fewer than 6 months get 30-days notice, tenancies of 6 months to 3 years get 60-days notice, and tenants of more than 3 years get 120-days notice

@Yu Cao I would put contractors (maybe behind L&I and City Council) as the most challenging aspects of real estate investing in Philadelphia.

The Chicago City Council is on its way to making major changes to residential rental laws that will hurt the market (Listen to the latest update here https://soundcloud.com/chicago...): Increase lease non-renewal notice requirement up to 120 days (4 months!)

Between the mayor, city council, city manager, and police chief, there is always someone battling.  

They have gotten multiple letters from the town council for not mowing their yard when the grass becomes almost knee high and turns to seed.

Political maneuvering/postering aside, I think city council is ultimately in favor of any affordable housing/homelessness solutions, so despite this initiative not making it on the ballot for this November, it's probably only a matter of time before Boulder raises the limit.

I watched the playback of the city council meeting, but have been unable to find official documentation yet.

We have escalated issue to higher management and then office of city council.
