Over the past two years, the city has been evaluating tenant displacement in the city. The Tenant Displacement Task Force, created in 2018, has issued their final report. While the report is a step in the right direction, in many ways the city is constrained in what it can do -- and the recommendations fall short of the city seriously treating renters as first class citizens in their overall investment in protecting them from displacement.
