Homelessness

It would be useful to add something about homelessness and eviction rates with regard to rent control. It's been studied. I know that rent control does not solve these problems in the long run according to the studies that have been done. Bongolian (talk) 20:12, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

Propose other solutions to rent control

I think it's critical to not just demean rent control but, if the article is well-sourced and well-argued on why rent control doesn't work, also provide better alternatives to the ongoing housing crisis and the creeping cost of rent that's been strangling most people. --It's-a me, 🎄LeftyGreenMario!🎄 20:08, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

@LeftyGreenMario a good example are Housing vouchers. Unlike rent control, which create shortages, vouchers increase the supply of housing. Vouchers can also be targeted to consumers who need them, whereas rent controlshave subsidized millionaires. I can write a bit about them in the next few days, but making a good research will require time I don't have. GeeJayK (talk) 02:38, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

I see, thanks for the response. Did you see the other discussions too such as one paper claiming that evidence doesn't show rent control introducing shortages? --It's-a me, 🎄LeftyGreenMario!🎄 21:08, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
