It’s a strange contradiction with the harm reduction policy pushers on homelessness, because they are simultaneously pushing homelessness as a human right AND that somehow they also want to end homelessness?
Rent control, meanwhile, is exactly one of the things that drives up rents elsewhere in a city and contributes to housing shortages.
Landlords have to make up the difference in costs somewhere. It’s strange that there is this misconception that all landlords have unlimited resources.
I’ve always liked the concept of rent control because I’ve always been poor and can’t afford high rents haha. idk I mean if someone owns a building, what’s changing in terms of their costs over the years? Why should an apartment go from $800 a month to $3000? Also, in Vancouver, for example, most apartment buildings aren’t owned by an individual, but by a company that owns multiple buildings in the city… I suspect the company is doing just fine…
