Rent control is a major disincentive for building new housing. It needs to be dropped altogether. Keep in mind these policies are designed to fail. Rich property owners want to keep people out of their neighborhoods and constrict the supply of housing. With rent control, they can do that while disguising it as a progressive initiative. Republicans aren't the only ones who vote against their interest. Supposing you still want private actors to build and rent, I don't see why you couldn't compensate that disincentive with incentive for building new housing. Make the investment less painful to motivate the lower return. --- Stop being so aggressively argumentative for no reason. - UnfairRepresent <cite>scar the 1 posted [p:927508888] in California...
