About your Prop 33 post. People should pay attention to who is sponsoring these types of ads. California seems to have better than most disclaimer rules because in the ads for NO to 33 it says the top donor for the ad is the California Rental Association. In the ads for Yes to 34, it says it benefits HEALTHCARE, two top donors are California Rental Association and California Real Estate Association. Why are they making ads for healthcare initiative? Be curious. Source: I make political ads.
I always look into what I'm voting for (and consult numerous progressive voter guides to further check) when I finally get my pamphlet (which I haven't received yet). This issue in particular I've been following, I follow a tenants union who has been doing quite a deep focus on it.
CAA & AAGLA (who amazingly aren't on the against column. shocking. lmao but are behind a LOT of the scaremongering ads for NO) represent real estate investments and corporate interests, not people. Whatever they want, vote the opposite...always. Meanwhile YES has AIDS Healthcare Foundation, Veterans' Voices, Housing is a Human Right, Consumer Watchdog...
Personally, as someone who works in the housing construction industry, I've long thought that they need to stop buying up land and building up buildings for housing that no one can afford. I can tell you the builders are scared of this one. Good.
As a long time California renter "property values dropping" sounds fantastic to me, because I might be able to STOP renting.
But also anon the way you worded this ask was very amusing and slightly confusing to me. (Source: me. ...i know that's not how you meant it, w/ my background I do understand what you meant, but lmao)
#fwiw i've got some rabidly progressive irl friends who are deeply entrenched in local politics here#and i've long subscribed to the notion of: the best advertising is word of mouth#but when it comes to political ads... i honestly do not pay them any attention#tbph i dont pay attention to most ads. just how i was raised.#i do NOT know why i thought it was a good idea for me to get a degree in graphic design when i loathe marketing/advertising lmao#and this is the moment where i bring up this book I got a LONG time ago (late 90s early 00s) called: Toxic Sludge is Good For You#which is about how there's a huge industry built upon selling you shit that's bad for you#it's definitely outdated now but the concepts are still valid (even moreseo)#tldr: do your research. check your sources.
