"We have seen corporate landlords—who own a larger share of the rental market than ever before—use inflation as an excuse to hike rents and reap excess profits beyond what should be considered fair and reasonable."

    It’s almost as if there can be multiple causes and rent control has been proven beyond all doubt to not work.

      Areas that did not have rent control now = rent going up

      Areas that did = rent going up

      Except that areas that did still got decades of lower rent.

      You talk a lot about proof but I am not seeing any.

      Almost, except for the parts where there’s no proof only wishful statements, and there’s more doubt than ever.
