@IamSean90 Rents have gone up faster than inflation in places without rent control as well.
Are you for the abolition of single family zoning?

Our only hope for change in left wing areas is for the Supreme Court to declare rent controls unconstitutional. Then we'll finally see prices fall
Hunter📈🌈📊@StatisticUrban
There's a case slowly working its way through federal courts in NYC that has the potential to become a national case. The plaintiffs are challenging the constitutionality of NY's rent control and stabilization laws. And they managed to land a judge appointed by Trump...

@3YearLetterman @Breaking911 Americans can't even boil water because of a lack of power. You hardly ever see a kettle on America

@DrTonyChopper_ @NeoliberalAkiho Yes correct we should have a land value tax system, to encourage highest and best use and efficient resource allocation via the market

@MisterFizz @ahaternumberone @bennotshapiro @NeoliberalAkiho If nobody is using it as a speculative vehicle (read: profiting), what's the incentive to rent out, or critically, build apartments? The kindness of their hearts?
English
@ahaternumberone @bennotshapiro @NeoliberalAkiho Rent an apartment, at a reasonable rate, because no one is using the property as a speculative vehicle
English
Leftists say “uhh housing shouldn’t be a commodity” like that magically frees it from the laws of economics.
English
@Great_Chumpion @NeoliberalAkiho No company holds a large enough share of any rental market for market manipulation. It's one of the most competitive markets people interact with
English
@NeoliberalAkiho Establishment liberals be like "learn Econ 101 on housing, supply and demand", and then ignore the part immediately after supply and demand that warns about market manipulation (that companies like Blackstone can easily do).
English
@DrTonyChopper_ @NeoliberalAkiho Basic economics is a fact. Supply and demand is law.
You leftists are so anti science I expect you to start rallying against vaccines soon too
English
@e_oreo @NeoliberalAkiho "I will not even investigate his plans to build housing because I believe in fairytales"
English
@DrTonyChopper_ @NeoliberalAkiho One bad policy makes me think everything else he did for housing was equally as bad. I care about actual housing affordability, which is driven by the free market, like Austin.
English
@e_oreo @NeoliberalAkiho It's funny you only know about the rent control and not about anything else he did that day involving housing. incurious little lad. just letting the wind of the discourse carry you to and fro.

@chavistadedonde @sigmahamster2 They can use they money already being gouged from existing tenants.

Many such cases.
Spencer Pratt@spencerpratt
They're not freezing your rent, they're freezing your housing providers' income, while their expenses keep increasing. The point isn't to make your housing affordable, it's to make providing housing financially inviable, so government(s) can seize the unmanageable properties. Our lack of financial literacy is going to destroy us. spencerpratt.substack.com/p/the-phantom-…

@yslenjoyer Moralizing rent control lmao I've seen it all
English
All of the leftists in the replies and quotes are resorting to overcomplicating a solution to the problems of rent control and creating government overreach instead of just NOT DOING RENT CONTROL BECAUSE IT'S STUPID AND EVIL
Slazac 🇪🇺🇺🇦🇹🇼🌐@TrueSlazac
Rent control is evil and everyone should stop supporting it
English
@DrTonyChopper_ @NeoliberalAkiho Rent control gives the incumbent renters a home at the expense of everyone else
English
@NeoliberalAkiho Making everyone a coal miner would be bad, as opposed to giving everyone a home.

@OGNAGBONE @LinkofSunshine @bennotshapiro You can only defer payments so many times, and that's without spending infinity dollars on public housing replacing market rate construction
English
@e_oreo @LinkofSunshine @bennotshapiro Imagine trying to come for Mamdani on the budget lmao. This typa rhetoric is totally why the centrist coalition is doing numbers in NYC fella!!!
English
@OGNAGBONE @LinkofSunshine @bennotshapiro So a new unit could be constructed with a cost to the government of $0 (actually probably a net positive on the budget) or a cost to the government of $800,000. Great point!
English
@EvelCrisis The trend has continued, although at a lower pace, in 2025 and maybe flatlined in 2026. The graph ends in 2024 because it was made in 2025
English
Theres a reason this graph ends in 2024

The first one happens all the time. It’s happening in Austin right now!!! Housing is not exempt from Supply and Demand!
English
@bennotshapiro @jxcn1717 @LinkofSunshine I can take your anecdote or I can take pew research finding Class C rents dropped 11% through the metro
English
@jxcn1717 @LinkofSunshine I LITERALLY live in Texas and have been ACTIVELY trying to move to Austin for over 2 years...I can PERSONALLY verify, they arent going down SPECIFALLY for lower cost units...you pulled that out of your ass then accused me of doing so...the projection is insane lmfaooo

Housing is not exempt from Supply and Demand!
aezzie !! ♂@AezzieUwU
We’ve had cities without rent control for decades and this NEVER fucking happened, EVER. Not ONCE have landlords voluntarily lowered the price of their rentals. Tax breaks all get pocketed and vacancies dont reduce prices. All they do is RAISE RAISE RAISE the rent nomatter what.

@Pawg_Alf @SpaghettiKozak @Agapiy_ Everyone did basic training in the US Army in WWII. That doesn't change the fact that the highest casualties rates in the infantry are fresh Privates and 2ndLTs. That's just how it goes, statistically.
English
@SpaghettiKozak @Agapiy_ They usually call it "Basic training" instead of tutorial level.

Yeah there were a lot of dumbfucks that showed up here but you know what- they showed up. Are you headed to Gaza anytime soon? Or starting revolution at home?

@rfcwwide @sollidnuclear Wind isn't a scam France just doesn't have a lot of it. Texas grid right now. Wind is almost always the single largest fuel type except middle of the day.

@sollidnuclear Wind is a scam, solar is viable, nuke is king.
Thanks for that effort.

@ShitlibSupreme Populists (which this type of leftism is) are just anti science, be it tariffs, rent control, vaccines, etc
English
Rent control is the perfect example to demonstrate how defective leftist mentality is. Data overwhelmingly suggests it's a terrible idea, but they strongly feel as though it's the moral position therefore the only reason anyone could possibly disagree would be if they're evil.
English
@ec0anarch0 @dickclucas Rent control has worked out very well for housing affordability in San Francisco, clearly
English
@dickclucas San Francisco has had rent control since 1979 and most all of those rent controlled buildings are still standing and housing San Franciscans. Out of scale tech salaries and profits are what's driven up prices at the margins.
English
Rent control absolutely destroys housing supply thus increases prices in the long run.

A New York City panel voted to freeze rents for nearly one million rent-stabilized apartments, fulfilling a promise of Mayor Zohran Mamdani. nyti.ms/4wgwhFL

@r0berto_mid_5 @SockDem_ @kaesepi Y'all are just like Trumpers who think tariffs are a good idea without being capable of thinking of second order effects. Populists are all the same, left or right, just lapping up the slop
