> tenant activists and union leaders In other words, these are people looking for a free lunch and thinking they have the power to get it by legislating it into existence. Only, there is no such thing as a free lunch. It will be paid for. And the ones paying for it will be the people providing the housing, so there will likely be less housing. I wonder why these same people who are so concerned about this don't just go out and build affordable housing instead of forcing their ideas on other people?
