> Did you know that in the late 90 the housing was good and affordable? Obviously, affordable is subjective. People in cities have demanded ever-expanding services. Better sanitation, better public transit, electricity, everything new has to be super safe, everything new has to have 16 handi-capable toilets per 1 handi-capable user, subsidized housing for the poor, free education, free higher education, free healthcare, higher taxes on businesses, higher regulation of existing businesses. Some of those things are probably necessary. Some are probably really nice to have. Everything has a price. Rent control is a great way to make slums. There's no market incentive to make your placer any nicer than someone else's because you're competing for a set amount of $$. The good landlords will exit the business, and you'll only have slums.
