Again, an automatic response. What makes New York and San Francisco
different that Minneapolis. Lots and lots of things. The tax-structures
are different. The demograhics are different. The city bureauracracies
are different. The construction industry is different. The market for
rental housing is different.
I don't think that rent control is a good idea for Minneapolis. Nor do I
think it has worked in New York (except during WW II).
If I were making a movie about the rental housing situation in
Minneapolis, I'd call Central Casting. Hey Central Casting, I need
someone who can play a good landlord. Someone who can say: "Rent
control? What a disaster! Let me give you 3 words: NYC.
Craig. What is it that think about rent control? Why do you think it
would not be good in Mpls? What do you know about rent control in NYC and
SF?
