- thelastparadise 3y agoRent controls and more section 8 housing will make it a better place? We've tried that enough already, no?
- pydry 3y agoSure. enough to know that it works.
- SR2Z 3y agoWe need a better kind of rent control like LVT (which doesn't control rent, but disincentivizes parasitic landlords) and a better kind of public housing (like Singapore's HDB, which is self supporting). The US does both of these really poorly and then acts surprised when they don't work.
