I have no problem with giving people money so they can find a place to rent of their own from a landlord that will make profit. I just have a problem with landlords who then all raise their rents to the maximum amount they know people are going to get.
- chii 13y agobut that is exactly what they will do, because when each landlord raises the rent slightly every month, via pure experimentation/intuition, they will reach a point where someone will still rent their house/apartment at the highest price they can ask for. The only way to drive rent/cost of housing down is to produce more houses/apartments.
