[quote=Anonymous]Teacher should have affordable housing but rent control won’t deliver them to anyone looking now. I had a rent control apt for 10 years. My income was 90k. The apt was a dump cause the landlord claimed he couldn’t afford to do any improvements. Yes a teacher in DC needed that unit more than me but no one gives up a rent controlled apt u less they have too. Most of the units in my building were all illegals sublets going back five different tenants over 10 years. As soon as i Moved out the rent reset to market rate. IZ Actually provides more units for people making less than 30%. And let’s be real, Ward 3 does NOT want more of those units. Plus IZ units are kept affordable at that rate for perpetuity. Even if people move in and out. So they are stable over the long term unlike rent control.[/quote]
