That's also one opinion, and does not present any data.Right, and your opinion is also opinion, and you haven't provided even one piece of data in support, only heresay. Vacancy decontrol sounds nice, but then you end up with no rent-stabilized housing at all. What have you accomplished? You have accomplished a return to market forces. A landlord doesn't want his apartment to remain empty, and if it's too high, people won't rent it. Many rent stabilized apartments are held by people that don't need a subsidy. And an owner is not a welfare provider even if they are poor, which is generally not the case. Rent control only causes an artificial market. An older person won't move from an apartment that is too big for them, as she doesn't want to loose the price, and a family of four can be squeezed into an apartment that is too small for them becuause of the unavailability of a bigger apartment coming up. |
