San Jose and COPA, Your Property Rights are Under Attack as Government Intrusion Continues
Local governments are forcing owners to offer their properties to government-sanctioned entities before they can be listed for sale. These proposals dictate how your property is sold, to whom it can be sold, and even how much it can be sold for! Protect your rights and investment.
San Jose’s Community Opportunity to Purchase Act (COPA) authorizes third-party entities the first right of refusal to purchase your property.
WHY THIS MATTERS TO YOU AND CALIFORNIA PROPERTY OWNERS:
– Delays the close of sale by 3-4 months.
– Imposes fines and penalties.
– Interferes with your rights as a property owner.
– It’s coming to your community.

LEARN HOW RENTAL HOUSING PROVIDERS AND THEIR RESIDENTS STRENGTHEN THE CALIFORNIA ECONOMY
Quality rental housing demand is growing and the industry needs to keep up. However, producing enough new rental housing to meet demand requires new development approaches, more incentives and fewer restrictions. Rental housing construction contributes $9.3B to California’s economy annually, creating 35K jobs.
The Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) estimates that California must plan for more than 2.5 million homes over the next eight-year cycle, and no less than one million of those homes must meet the needs of lower-income households. This represents more than double the housing planned for in the last eight-year cycle.
