AFAIK, you're not allowed to sublease a rent-controlled unit. If they own their home, many old people made their bag and aren't interested in being landlords in retirement.

Rent control drives up rent prices for everyone. So yes, if you have rent control in a city, it would create an environment with zero affordable options.

But… the models will fall behind. As libraries and languages and tool calling updates or the world knowledge changes, the models decay. Personally, I don’t like the change, but it’s just how technology works so I’d rather move with the flow

It’s hard for new landlords. People that bought houses to rent compete against property owners of paid off homes or people with 3% mortgages. Tacking on optional insurance products on a property that’s already in the red further encourages

I think you’re leaving details out of your story. If the landlord wants to make a few bucks, then they keep their good tenants (lowers vacancy rate, keeps repairs low, etc). Kicking out good tenants cost landlords money.

Yeah… these laws for private landlords to subsidize housing for other families. If you only have 1 rental property and your tenant doesn’t pay, that’s a 100% loss of revenue while your family personally bears the cost of supporting this oth
