Jesus Christ, we don’t need rent control.

We need the state to take over zoning and to tell all the NIMBYs to pound sand.

Rents are soaring because there isn’t enough supply housing or housing to meet demand.

Rent control just picks winners and losers, and screws over people who don’t already have their foot in the door, and just further disincentivizes new construction.

It’s a terrible idea.
