    Meanwhile areas in North America that didn’t have rent control also show skyrocketing rents. Rent control is starting to look pretty good. I would rather get decades of lower rent than not.

      It’s almost as if there can be multiple causes and rent control has been proven beyond all doubt to not work.

        Areas that did not have rent control now = rent going up

        Areas that did = rent going up

        Except that areas that did still got decades of lower rent.

        You talk a lot about proof but I am not seeing any.

        Almost, except for the parts where there’s no proof only wishful statements, and there’s more doubt than ever.
