    um actually rent control (alone) historically has made housing worse, reduced housing quality, and raised prices 🤓🤓🤓

    That’s if you mean price capping by “rent control,” if there is anything else, I don’t have anything to say about any other type of rent control, as I don’t know much about those.

      Every rent control argument I have seen involves specific neighborhoods that are rent controlled. If you apply it universally, those problems would not be an issue.

      All you have to do is peg a price cap to inflation.
