Republicans have no influence here, it's the state that needs to come up with rent control, affordable living. But last i checked the state politicians rather fight trump then help it's own state. Adam Schiff is the Hollywood district Rep, Nancy Pelosi is San Francisco, they are not doing anything for their cities. And people like Garcetti, or Newsom only wants to talk yet not do anything about it. Measure HHH was passed with over $1b funding for homeless, yet that money is gone? the city hall is corrupt, read up about the city council that are under investigation by the FBI for taking kickbacks from real estate developers to tear down affordable living that doesn't help them financially and instead build luxury living that people cannot afford
