SAN DIEGO — San Diego County Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer said she will ask her colleagues on Tuesday to sue Blackstone , a New York real estate firm she alleges has engaged in tenant harassment, price fixing and gouging.
Lawson-Remer claims that starting in 2021, Blackstone has acquired 66 buildings in San Diego, totaling approximately 5,600 units. Since then, she claim some rents have surged 200%. Lawson-Remer joined about three dozen people and ACCE Institute, a community group, on Monday to picket a Blackstone property in Pacific Beach."These big investment companies like Blackstone. They don't care about us. They don't care about our communities," Johnson said."All they care about is their million-dollar investors."
She said she was late in paying her rent in May, but was able to come up with the money. However, she said she can't pay the roughly $1,100 eviction fee to keep her place.
