Rent control never worked in the past but that's because it wasn't true rent control, we'll prove every single economist wrong and make it work this time, right?

As a developer, how many units of housing will you build when you're forced to give away a large percentage of the newly built units for next to nothing and there's a very strong possibility you will not be allowed to raise the rent at all in the near future?

As a tenant living in a high-demand city with severe housing shortage, how will your rent be affected by the above?

Input from developers? You're joking, right?

Also the whole exempt this, raise that schtick is there to get the state to overturn the ban, there's going to be a big loljk and a whole lot of all sorts of SF-style maoisms added the second communism rent control becomes legal.

And what's stopping our resident SF admirers from changing that the second rent control becomes legal?
