alt Hacker NewsRent control is fundamentally unfair and socially undesirable. We should encourage labor mobility, not discourage it.
CA has a similar issue with prop 13 for housing which I also oppose.
Also it’s silly to say the US housings market doesn’t work for “most people” considering the home ownership rate is above 60%
“Labor mobility” sure is a nice way to say “kick people out of their homes and separate them from their communities.”
