    There was a massive push in the last week to tell people it would end all new housing developments, triple rent, and make us all homeless. All of the major newspapers and the governor came out on that line.

    Which is ridiculous of course but there was no time to refute it.

      I didn’t know the governor said that. And the cons so exist, but really only to landlords and rich people like him.

      I’ll be honest that rent control isn’t perfect though. A band aid at best.
