Even socialist Economists trash rent control. It’s probably the most universally debunked economic policy in existence. So of course Bernie backs it,

We gotta figure out how to get this a-hole to Cuba or Venezuela where he can enjoy his utopia without imposing his demonstrably failed stupidity on the rest of us. We can send Liz with him too!

All families should have that. We need a national rent control standard.
Like mass homelessness? Because this is how you create a massive housing shortage. Idiot.

We should have backed the Nazis and let Hitler take out Stalin.

All of them want national control of things while dissing publicly 'White Nationalists'. The left is in constant support for nationalizing everything in our lives, while calling someone who supports the Nation as evil.

I don't know about that, but we should have let the Kaiser win and keep Soviet influence down.

I’m just a simpleton, but if you force a property owner to rent their place for a specific amount decided on by the government, then wouldn’t you just end up discouraging someone from buying a property in the first place? They may want to buy with only the intention of renting it out. But, if there’s a set limit on how much they can charge, then why bother? The people who can’t qualify to buy a property, and must rent, are the ones who’ll suffer the most.
Even worse. Think Puerto Rico or the more recent Bahamas.

Under rent control, why would any rental property owner bother to rebuild when he may not live long enough to recoup his costs?

Now apply that that to the entire Gulf Coast which is vulnerable to hurricanes every year, add the southern East Coast, the plains states with wide swath tornadoes...

Whole cities and towns will be abandoned under mandatory national rent control once a natural disaster hits them. That'll solve that homeless problem as America becomes Land of the House Free, Home of the, well, nobody, since homes won't exist.

When the federal government owns all property it’s quite easy and that’s exactly what that POS communist really wants.

That comment section is scary as frick. 90% of that thread believes you shouldn't be able to own rentals

And Bernie was a bum for most of his life


quote:

After graduating from college Sanders returned to New York City, where he initially worked at a variety of jobs, including Head Start teacher, psychiatric aide, and carpenter.[32] In 1968 he moved to Vermont because he had been "captivated by rural life." After his arrival there he worked as a carpenter,[34] filmmaker, and writer[49] who created and sold "radical film strips" and other educational materials to schools.[50] He also wrote several articles for the alternative publication The Vermont Freeman


This is quite literally the only portion of Bernie’s entire work history that he is not living off of taxpayers’ money.

I don’t want to make light of his time with Civil Rights. It’s commendable, but his professional career has been one long tenure in taking people’s money.

Let’s guarantee everyone a mortgage while we’re at it. Go ahead and run this ship into the rocks.

Housing is a right

Food is a right

Healthcare is a right

Clothing is a right

Cradle to grave Bernie’s plan is to take care of every aspect of your life

no more than x% increase year over year.

Its been 5% in some major metros.

I'd go with inflation plus 1/2%.

major improvements are trickier.
