I know us programers have a proclivity towards binary thinking, but these people aren't arguing for a world without any change, just a way to decrease the volatility of a housing market that fluctuates beyond human scale. Humans are big, blundering slow moving beasts at the top of the food chain. It takes us years to settle in to new homes and communities and find our footings. Having rents double over just a few years is just too much for most people to handle. Call it "rent stabilization", not "rent control" and it makes more sense. The goal is to slow the rates of change and make sure things are happening at human scale. Real estate, contract law and marketplaces are all human constructions and we shouldn't let them get the best of us.
