As I said, then the solution is to lessen the importance of the incentive system and for the state to do so, for example.
There are things in life we treat as core moral values even if they cause issues with incentives. For example, people should not go to prison for not paying their debts, even though it runs against incentives. Rent stabilization should be one of them as well. The rest of society should adjust.
- flavius29663 5y ago> people should not go to prison for not paying their debts Try to not pay your taxes and you end up in prison in all the countries I know about. Anyway, I feel like your argument works against you, actually. I think a core moral value is to allow anyone to move into the city if they wish so. With rent control, you limit the privilege to live in a city mostly to those born there. This is worse than the unfair advantage you have when raised in a wealthy family. At least anyone can study and make a good life later on, but rent control doesn't allow for much movement altogether. If you're born outside the city - bad luck.
