City of LA elections are at the mercy of the few people that actually vote- UTLA members, Trade unions like construction, hotel workers (SEIU) etc, and the other public employee groups like DWP.
NII doesn't help any of the above. I have no idea why it would pass unless they get some of these people to support it via their campaign of misinformation and hysteria.
Expect a 10% turnout for the off season ballot they are putting this to the voters on and who knows, anything can happen.
**Edit**
I forgot to add one other regular voting block- the pro rent control crowd. I think they believe they stand to gain from it's passage. The irony is that long term it probably makes things worse as property prices will continue higher/ faster due to lack of any new supply being built. Rents for everyone not locked in to a rent control unit are going to soar.
