No way dude, shelter is a basic human right. Therefore landlords should be obligated to rent an apartment in the fan to meee for $500 :)

There is no such thing as a completely free market and shouldn’t be. Quality of life actually regresses when you have a city who chews up and spits out those who aren’t in their working prime in hot sectors.

Lol. No. Saying landlords won't make repairs is not the argument against rent control you think it is.

better yet, think of the math or do some reading on it. Paul Krugman is a famously leftist economist who is good to read on rent control
