To reply to your comment on my blog post over at On Street Level, I will say that I started writing the post from an informative point of view rather than a more biased opinion one, but it turned into one. I am not totally for rent control either. But I do think it's ideological purpose (to help and support renters) is a very solid one. Unfortunately, it has been abused and leaves more and more prospective renters in a difficult situation. I believe there should be a solution between the two extremes (infinite rent control and substantial annual increases in rent) which will benefit both parties. Hey Adam,
