[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This sounds wonderful Why can’t Northern VA do this? NOVA offers very little help or financial assistance to renters compared to MD and DC[/quote] Rent control doesn’t incentivize future construction of apartments.[/quote] In Sweden it incentivized condo and coop conversions. [/quote] Moron alert. Have you ever lived in Stockholm? Do you realize what a compete sh*tshow their apartment and housing market is. Like, people writing letters pleading for housing with sob stories like "I'm a medical doctor and my wife is teacher, we have two children and one has incurable cancer, can we please rent this one bedroom apartment?" They then get put on a waitlist for three years while they live in a slum. Seriously anyone who argues in favor of any kind of housing policy based on Sweden is a complete ignorant fool [/quote] Holy smokes. "Moron alert." The pp was arguing *against* rent control, because of what happened in Sweden, you "complete ignorant fool." . [/quote] That's not clear at all from their eight word sentence, which sounds like it is praising condo conversions[/quote]
