Looked into the deets on this since it affects me - https://housing2.lacity.org/highlights/renter-protections
It’s a 4% max increase, with 1% addons for electricity and gas if they’re included in the rent.
Which, after 3 years of everything being frozen, doesn’t sound too terrible. We’ll still be a good amount cheaper than market rate.
My buddy works there now, as the audiobook company he worked for got acquired by them.
You would be shocked how stupid and manual the content acquisition process is. Book publishers might as well still be operating back in the 90s, it’s all phone calls and spreadsheets attached to the emails and manual FTP uploads.
If the music business is anything like the audiobook business they likely need so many non IT just to keep the machine fed with content.
