Proposition 90 Could Invalidate Proposition HPaul Hogarthbyline‚ Oct. 12‚ 2006As we mentioned here, here and here, California Proposition 90 is the most deceptive, destructive and potentially devastating measure on the November ballot. Billed as an effort to “stop eminent domain,” it would actually make it impossible for state and local government to take any action to constrain the unrestrained free market. The inevitable consequence of Prop 90 would be runaway gentrification that will displace all low-income people from San Francisco and other cities. For example, if Prop 90 were to pass, San Francisco’s Proposition H (a modest increase in relocation assistance for tenants in no-fault evictions) would probably be ruled unconstitutional. |
