Reply to As of Aug 2022, the median millennial household income was $106,661. People making at or close to the median household income that are buying houses in MA, where are you able to buy? by BoOo0oo0o
My household income out of college was 115k. We bought a house 3 months later in Springfield. Both of us work in the valley. You don't need to live near Boston to make good money. This was done in 2022.
We had no help from family or friends.

And that has nothing to do with what I said. I have spoken about the concept of rent control, not specific policy.
But you should be able to figure out my opinion.

It's proper usage is a short-term solution while long solutions are implemented or during economic emergencies.
Implementing rent control while increase unit construction would reduce housing costs in the short term while ensuring increased supply in the long term to counteract the supply affects of rent control.

As I have stated, this reduces rent volatility for current residents but leads to increased rents in the future for new tenants.
New housing units reduces housing costs.

Yes it clearly does. Even in the abstract, which is evidently the only thing you read when doing research.

No, the purpose of rent control is to stop rents from shooting up for current residents. Says so right in the same. Fortunate, it works very we.

Don't just read the abstract.
Reducing displacement of current renters in the goal of rent control. That's the primary objective. It is not a fix all soluton to housing costs.

I read a few papers about it. The big one was a look at San Francisco's rent control. It was titled "The effects of rent control expansion on tenants landlords and inequality.
I'll check it out at some point.

Get the fuck over yourself. Making more than twice the median household income by yourself isn't poor.

There aren't a lot of good jobs in that field in the area, sadly. There are some but they are very competitive. My wife left the field and became a secretary because they offered 20k more a year than she got teaching.
