Are individual lives ruined by having to move? I understand the pros and cons of rent control and there are valid arguments on both sides, but it doesn't sound like people's lives are being ruined. IMO, a lot of political and cultural tension comes from tying our identity to a piece of land. Maybe if we moved around more often we might be more tolerant of new cultures and people?
- romed 8y agoThis attitude is why American cities aren’t real places. Yes, being forced to move far away, as in the Bay Area where we evict people from Oakland and expect them to live in Antoich, is highly disruptive to lives. It severs friendships, increases travel, and all manner of negative effects.
