- news · 2017-03-12 — Mad River Union report: Ocean West Investors LLC, owner of the 125-space Ocean West Senior Village, sued Humboldt County on Feb 9, 2017 challenging Measure V, the voter-approved mobilehome rent stabilization ordinance (passed Nov 2016 with 55%). The complaint said average space rent was $450/month in 2016 against a claimed market value of $800-$825/month and sought an immediate raise toward market. TIMING FLAG: Sun's SEC Schedule III lists Ocean West as acquired in 2017, so the suit was filed in the acquisition year; the Measure V campaign itself predates Sun ownership.
