This 1. Reduces real estate taxes to the city - How many millions are lost each year in real estate taxes? 2. No market based incentive to maintain and improve apartments - How many carpenters, plumbers, painters, electricians and other craft jobs are lost? 3. The reduced rent to the enormous cost of the City and Jobs is given to those regardless of need and at the expense of those in the poorer areas of the City who now cannot relocate by reason of artificial low vacancies in the more desired areas. Why is there no discussion of the following:

Of all the bad ideas... This does, though, provide the perfect excuse to write a piece titled, "In Case You Forgot, Rent Control Always Fails." Would you be interested in penning such a piece for FreePo, Adam? Wow. Of all the bad ideas…
