alt Hacker NewsIf you're currently renting, and expect to keep renting for a long time, state-wide control does seem in your interests?
It might ultimately depress new construction and certainly isn't good for landlords, but makes sense to me a renter would want rent control.

No, because rent control isn't portable and most people's housing needs change over time. The person who can hold onto a house for 20 years straight is the outlier.
Unless you expect to be renting in literally the same physical house, state-wide rent control isn't in your interests.
