Homelessness[edit]
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[edit]
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)
