A company challenging San Luis Obispo County's rent control ordinance will have its day in court on March 27.We wonder whether the U.S. Supreme Court, with two new members, has the guts to start issuing decisions like the 1937 pre-New Deal courts.
Chicago-based Manufactured Home Communities Inc. continues to fight a decision by county supervisors in 2002 that prevented it from tripling space rents to $1,100 a month for nine residents of the Sea Oaks Mobile Home Park in Los Osos.
If successful, the lawsuits filed by the company, the largest mobile-home park owner in the country, might reverse a 21-year-old decision by county voters to create rent-control provisions for mobile-home park residents. The intent was to provide a source of low-cost housing.
