Rent Control doesnt work. Just makes it more expensive. Read a Basic Economics book and learn about scarcity.......

It's sickening how little regard there is for renters among elected officials. It seems that renters are one of the designated groups that everyone is allowed to look down and make judgements about our terrible life decisions. Apparently having a spouse who's too sick to work, but not sick enough for disability, means we deserve to be homeless when we hit retirement age. California's rent control isn't very good either, it lets landlords raise rents by the local rate of inflation plus 5%. I think CA needs to regulate rental housing like it would a utility, but actually regulate them instead of giving them everything they want, like they do for PG&E.
