Liberals, why do you support rent controls?

Because rent is harder and harder to pay each year as it goes up and salaries don't match the cost increases.

But why should others be able to limit how much money another can make on their own property? Should others be permitted to limit your earnings?

What´s fascist about this?

Government telling private citizens how much they're allowed to charge. That is a fascist concept and NOT a concept of free-market capitalists, you know, the political right.

Avoiding homelessness is more important to me than questionable concepts of free market capitalists. You are apparently not affected by high rents.

Unfortunately some believe that it is usually the landlord who is the fascist

but of course slumlords are dictators

Landlords use to be warriors who protected the land and the villages

Today they are Lord of the Flies as they attempt to govern those whose who would live on their land

Probably Trump see himself as the Lord of the Flies as he tries to govern but seems to be failing miserably as you can keep some of the people happy at the expense of making the other unhappy.

It is easy to be a fascist but hard to be a leader
Failure is the only option

That's what you sign-up for when you become a residential landlord because someone fucked-over renters before you, which is the birthplace of all regulation.

There is no free-market, never has been, never will be.

Well, let's define "free market". I think the following definition is accurate.

In economics, a free market is a system in which the prices for goods and services are determined by the open market and by consumers. Wikipedia

Do you agree that the government should be the one to decide how much people can charge?

We're not talking about regulation. We're talking about supposedly free people being able to charge as much as they like for the use of their own property.

Do you also believe that the government should determine how much a movie theater can charge its customers?

In economics, a free market is a system in which the prices for goods and services are determined by the open market and by consumers. Wikipedia

"In economics, a free market is a system in which the prices for goods and services are determined by the open market and by consumers. In a free market, the laws and forces of supply and demand are free from any intervention by a government or other authority and from all forms of economic privilege, monopolies and artificial scarcities.[1] Proponents of the concept of free market contrast it with a regulated market in which a government intervenes in supply and demand through various methods such as tariffs used to restrict trade and to protect the local economy. In an idealized free-market economy, prices for goods and services are set freely by the forces of supply and demand and are allowed to reach their point of equilibrium without intervention by government policy."

The "all forms of economic privilege. monopolies and artificial scarcities" are the reasons we have regulations.

If the gov doesn´t act, these prices can lead to hardships or they are artificial. That every businessman is a honest and serious guy is not even a myth.

Every nation has its own degree of economic freedom or lack thereof. Here's a ranking in casexthe reader is interested.

America needs rent control to contain the growth of cities. Rent control causes landlords to cease maintaining apartments. Pretty soon they deteriorate to the point where they're unfit for human habitation and become the exclusive enclaves of welfare-teat sucking liberals. Shortly thereafter they (like too many rats in a cage) turn to killing each other. Ultimately the city becomes a ruin where nothing can live. Not even real rats - because there's nothing to eat. We're in an early stage but California will show us how to do it better.

By your logic, the government should dictate how much YOU are permitted to earn.

Why do you support such a totalitarian concept?
