Letter: Measure N is misguided and an egregious violation of private property rights
Submitted by paula on Sat, 09/21/2024 - 2:51pm
To The Editor: Some people around town ask why the Realtor Associations are so involved in the "No on N" campaign. At first blush, it might appear the effort is self-serving, and that's the distortion the "Yes on N" proponents are promoting.
But when you dig a little deeper, that allegation could not be further from the truth. If Measure N passes, the Realtor community will benefit greatly.
