I wish I could believe that, but it's evident that it's just not the case - at least not by all actors advocating against rent control. As mentioned in the article, the prime minister and his government was struck down because they were supporting removing rent controls - without any form of viable replacement. In a perfect world I would also like to see rent control removed, as there certainly are negative consequences from the policy, but removal without viable alternatives literally means that a sizeable chunk of poor people will be out on their asses, more or less. I cannot in good conscience support that.
