Efforts to bring Bay area rent prices in line and protect renters from “no cause” evictions saw a number of triumphs and setbacks Tuesday.

It's a big day in the East Bay. 

The mayor’s husband, Joel Spencer, says he was stopped without probable cause and arrested on a false charge of drunk driving.

Two videos from a renters protest show what went down.

A crowd was massed outside the council’s chambers chanting phrases to the tune of “Let the renters speak.”
