Re “Ryu proposes multifaceted approach to fight against homelessness in L.A.,” Aug. 29 issue

Dear Councilman Ryu, you must do what you can to stop landlords from evicting tenants in order to sell out to luxury condo developers.

Also, please address rent control. Much homelessness is the result of stagnant wages and rising rents. Landlords need to be regulated and tenants must be protected from developers and opportunist landlords.

The increase in homelessness in our city is directly related to the increase in luxury condo development.
