I really wish the submitter of this story did a better job than repeating the clickbait title at Curbed. Because this article is actually a fairly good summary of an interesting paper which has a lot to say about the mixed results of rent control as a long-term strategy.
But no, instead we get this, "Rent Control Is Uniformly Bad" title which is designed to split the demo and bring in people who want to argue.
Surely we can do better!
- dang 9y agoHappy to change it, but I couldn't think of a better one. Actually we briefly changed the URL to https://www.mercurynews.com/2017/11/02/rent-control-policy-likely-fueled-the-gentrification-of-san-francisco-study-finds/ https://www.mercurynews.com/2017/11/02/rent-control-policy-l..., which has the title "Rent-control policy `likely fueled the gentrification of San Francisco,’ study finds" — is that better? (We changed the URL back because it's not clear that that article has more information in it.)
