“While rent control appears to help current tenants in the short run, in the long run it decreases affordability, fuels gentrification, and creates negative spillovers on the surrounding neighborhood.” Research shows rent controls will not solve housing

Massachusetts already tried rent control, and voters repealed it in 1994 for a reason.
Capping rents doesn’t create housing. It shrinks supply, drives apartments off the market, and makes the housing shortage worse. Even liberal economists admit it often benefits higher-income tenants while everyone else gets squeezed.
The real solution is obvious: cut red tape, scrap the project-killing green energy stretch code, and make it faster and cheaper to build housing across Massachusetts. Do you think rent control will fix the housing crisis or make it worse?

@MackDistrict6 @SenatorCalkin I have read this bill before. Nowhere does it include the General Assembly as an applicable party as referenced in RIGL 42-35-1. In fact, that section excludes the General Assembly and is clearly referenced in the amended bill. See here: https://t.co/tsRdkBvgW8.
