What's the current status of rent control in Boston and the surrounding suburbs?
Even if relaxed or gone, as I recall may have happened in some cities, it left a legacy, plus developers have to factor in the danger of it being reimposed.
- eroo 12y agoI'm a relatively new transplant to the city (3 years) and didn't even realize there was a time when the city was rent controlled. My cursory sleuthing indicates it was voted out narrowly in 1994.
- acomjean 12y agoCambridge (outside Boston where I live) had rent control but got rid of it around 10 years ago. I don't think its coming back. I work outside the city core, they seem to building a ton of rental complexes in Watertown. Probably because the permitting is easier.
