Yes but only to maintain rate ranges based on local wages, public resources and allows for reasonable profits to owners.
@9L4Z23B 2wks2W
No, studies show that rent control does not lower rent
@9MKWNW43wks3W
There needs to be a fair balance between rent prices and the local cost of living. Rent control may not be the best option.
@9NH66J95 days5D
This should be based on the rate of fair market value of the surrounding properties, if implemented.

step 1: make it illegal for powerful rich corporations from mass buying houses and holding them to raise prices. step 2: incentivize more affordable housing step 3: incentivize the building of more housing

No, the current issues with housing prices is due to a lack of supply. Enact policy that encourages housing development and the market will correct itself.
