households affected by rent control in California

currently before the California Legislature

in commercial property tax rate for worst offenders under Prop 13

Through volunteer work on TechEquity’s rent control calculator, Ive been able to dive headfirst into the tangle of local tenant protection laws, which has opened my eyes to the deep inequities and inadequate safety nets in my home state.

Collaborating with everyone from designers to lawyers has been a great learning experience in thoughtfully building a product for a good cause.
