Substantial remodel standards

A California Apartment Association advocate argued substantial remodel is an intentional state-law feature, not a loophole, opposed the non-payment threshold, and suggested an emergency rental program instead.

Returned to oppose the apartment association's presentation, describing code enforcement failures at his own building and disclosing he is paid to canvass for LAANE.

Pushed back on 'corporate greed' framing, arguing most rental properties are owned by individual sole proprietors and that private capital builds housing.
