The number of people even on HN that don't seem to grasp supply and demand is shocking. If HN is a relatively intelligent group, imagine how much of the general population will think just price limiting housing will work?
- st3v3r 10y agoWe grasp it just fine. We also take a dim view of asshole landlords that decide to skirt the law.
- mamon 10y agoIf the law is stupid it is your patriotic duty to ignore it :)
- st3v3r 10y agoNo, it is your duty to work to get it changed. I imagine there are a number of industrial companies that feel workplace safety laws and laws banning the dumping of waste in waterways to be stupid, would you be ok if they ignored those?
