The central point of the original essay appeared to be that it was bad for renters.
The point of the article was that it simply shifts the distribution of economic rents from property developers to renters.
- cbdumas 8y agoThe article OP linked is about the systemic effect of rent control, which is claimed to be negative for low income renters overall even if it benefits a small group of lucky low income renters in particular. I would love to see a well argued opposing position, which is why I read your link, but I don't think it really engages with the point about the systemic effect of rent control.
