>Why is rent stabilization bad?
It means that you've removed the incentive owners typically have to keep the place looking nice, repairing damages, etc.
Why invest anything if you know your rate of return will be low or negative?
I know liberals like to try to make unicorns exist but economics cuts through most of the lies and bullshit of politics.
- ectoplasm 11y agoOh, I don't live in NYC, but we have rent stabilization here and the landlord is allowed to increase the rent by a percentage of the current rent plus a percentage of the amount spent on repairs and renovations. If NYC doesn't compensate landlords for repairs, which in turn means they don't want to do them, I agree that is horrible.

The irony of advocating for a liberal housing market, then turning around and claiming that this is not only apolitical, but also politically opposed by liberals, is delicious.
