He is so dumb.
Imagine being so consumed with something that you are willing to ignore the many lessons that history has taught us for the sake of getting what you want implemented.

The rent control issue has everything to do with illegal immigration. In CA for instance, companies can "sponsor" workers but they need somewhere to house them. This is a really great article explaining how that policy drives up the rent costs and reduces housing availability for citizens. LINK

quote:

Motels, apartments and single-family homes in Santa Maria and other nearby towns are being converted to dormitory-style residences for temporary guest workers, tightening the supply of housing and pushing up already high rents.


quote:

Illegal immigrants have long been a backbone of the labor force here, as in many farming regions, and they usually find their own housing. They are among those concerned about being pushed out as more H-2A workers arrive and rents rise.


quote:

Felipe Mendoza, a former field worker who is now a retired construction contractor, said it is uncomfortable for his granddaughter to visit and he worries about the value of his home since the house next door was renovated and 10 H-2A farmworkers moved in.

Average rent in San Francisco is three times the national average. They have pretty much priced a certain class of American out of the city. Also known as the progressive way.

It will be interesting to see if all progressives agree with sanders.

AOC was calling for it in Congress a couple days ago. Wouldn’t be surprised if Bernie pulled this out of his arse in some desperate attempt to win her endorsement over Warren.

@BernieSanders
Unlike Trump, I did not grow up in a wealthy family.


That’s probably because his old man was as lazy as he is.
