Except it doesn't work, and has been proven to not actually work.
- CPLX 7y agoI read some version of this sentence every time the topic comes up. Like it's just "proven" not to work, as if there's some kind of objective science that exists independently of values and assumptions. Rent stabilization is intended to keep permanent residents of the apartments in question from being forced to move by rent increases. It does exactly that thing.
