00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:00,800
Speaker 1: Homes for All.

2
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 2: Massachusetts is spearheading the push for rent control statewide, and

3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 2: that's welcome news for young adults that work in Boston.

4
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:08,159
Speaker 3: I lived in Boston that I came to Quincy as

5
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 3: basically priced out of Boston. It's still remotely affordable for

6
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 3: one person to live here, but we'll see what happens.

7
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 2: If passed, the maximum increase on rent would be just

8
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 2: five percent for tenants each year.

9
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: These voters are hoping they can make that a reality.

10
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 4: I think I've only had one rent here and certainly

11
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 4: don't want it to go up, so I'd be in favor.

12
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 4: I thank you well.

13
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 5: The wrench just he'p going up and up and up.

14
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 5: But I paycheck's not going up, up, up and up,

15
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,160
Speaker 5: Food's going up. Everything he's going up except for my paycheck.

16
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, yeah. I can see as to why people

17
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 3: are moving out of the area because ren just keeps

18
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 3: going up every single year with no real good explanation.

19
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 2: Roughly one hundred and twenty five thousand signatures were submitted

20
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,239

00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:47,120
