[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eventually the county will be run entirely by clones of Kristen Mink.

I don’t agree and would not want that but would take that every day of the week because Mink and her clones are smarter than Friedson and his clones, who would just let us keep getting fleeced by developers. [/quote]

Rent control isn't smart at all. It's a feel good law. But nothing about it is smart. [/quote]

If you think an anti-gouging law that caps rent increases at nearly twice current inflation is the same as the rent control laws that were the subjects of earlier studies there’s not much I can do to help you. What MoCo has is a basic consumer protection, but then again it’s not the only basic consumer protection that landlords and YIMBYs have lost their minds about. If rent control punishes real estate speculation at the margins, then it will exert downward pressure on land prices.

Rent control also has absolutely nothing to do with why projects are or are not getting built in MoCo right now. [/quote]
