Him literally being the only politician in the whole western world in the last decade to keep his pledges is crazy. Y’all should protest vote for him en mass in the presidential election — they can’t call themselves a democratic society and ignore if he got the most votes.

Im gonna get a lot of hate for saying this cuz I know GGD overwhelmingly support this but this is one of the few left wing econonic policies i strongly disagree with

 

Despite the good intentions, rent controls have notoriously been documented to have a lot of unintended consequences. U get some relief in the short term but a lot of bad comes in the long term :shrug:

 

Rents are too high i agree, but the best policies to deal with them arent really rent control. 

 

Subsidize (or provide other incentives) for building of affordable housing... slap vacancy taxes... ban Air BNBs and ban foreign buyers if your city has a major issue with that. Enact special taxes for flippers/short term property holder. Maybe even establish limits on how many properties individuals or companies can own. I support all of that but not rent control

I don't think this works tbh.

The UK has been incentivising affordable home building for 10+ years.

And it often amounts to 1 house in a developement. Which then don't get built due to "unexpected difficulties". 

The gays know how to party

Meh, ik it often isnt cost effective either tbh ive seen failure examples here

 

But id still take it over rent control. Im just trying to emphasize that im not indifferent to housing crisis and impact on ppl but I just really think rent control is among the worse of the worst housing policies long term.

 

Id rather squander some tax dollars for less than steller results on increasing supply than a policy that actively makes it worse long term
