I'm a long term renter in Eastvale. I rent a room in a 4 bedroom house with roommates.

Myself and my roommates are all responsible adults, we do not make a lot of noise, do not do drugs. In fact, we are all hard working people and just come home to sleep.

This type of arrangement is a necessity in this time of rising housing costs and declining wages. Working an entry-level job, I do not make enough money to be able to afford my own apartment.

By enacting laws like these against having multiple renters, it would force younger, college educated, hard-working, tax-paying adults like myself to have to find jobs and housing elsewhere.

Were this type of law to be enacted, I would most likely make a move to a neighboring city, or perhaps even a neighboring state, and so would my roommates. This would represent a significant loss to the tax base of Eastvale.
