That's odd = decades of communism didn't help??!!! Maybe turn the screws more ... San Francisco has had rent control for decades, but it has not been spared from a housing squeeze and rising homelessness. A state law approved Wednesday aims to strengthen tenant protections.Jim Wilson/The New York Times

Maybe they should try protecting landlords instead. Normally, punishing something, such as providing rooms to rent, means less of it available and higher prices. What gets rewarded gets done. So cutting taxes on renting and eliminating regulations will mean more of it.

“There is a younger generation of people who see themselves as permanent renters, and they’re demanding that our public policy catches up to that economic reality.”
