Crémieux: "Rent control is a stunning policy. The literature, the experts, and the repeated experience of reality all stand undivided in saying it's bad. But the public loves it. It's insanely popular. It's basically a 75:25 issue and voters want more of it." | nitter

Alec Stapp: "It’s hard to find something economists agree on more than “rent control is a bad idea” And that’s because of empirical research results like this:" | nitter

Another thing is: No one in their right mind gives a toss what it's called.

#ChrisHedges | Fighting the Corporate Duopoly at the Ballot Box (w/ Kshama Sawant) | The Chris Hedges Report
"[M]y campaign is fighting to end all military aid to the Israeli state, to end weapons and #tech for #genocide and imperialist war. We’re fighting to stop the #AI data center and mass layoff juggernaut. We are also fighting to shut down #ICE and the #DetentionCenters, to win #FreeHealthCare for all funded by taxing the rich, to win national #RentControl and a massive expansion of #AffordableHousing, also funded by taxing the rich, and for a $25 an hour national #MinimumWage."

#Maine Court Slams #Landlords, Confirms #RentControlLaws Initiated by #MaineDSA
Posted by Ethan Strimling | Apr 10, 2026
"On March 18, a Maine Superior Court judge summarily rejected the latest attempt by landlords to gut Portland’s rent control law and stifle the power of tenant unions. In fact, in her sweeping decision, Justice Darcie McElwee solidified rent control’s power to keep rents affordable in Maine’s largest city in a way many of us have been fighting for since it was enacted.
This is a big moment, and Portland administrators, as well as those looking to confront the housing affordability crisis across the state (I’m looking at you, candidates for governor), should take notice."

What do we do now that Bill 60 is taking effect? Do we go back home afraid about the roof over our heads? Do we go back to accepting neglectful landlords and endless rent increases?
Instead, let's take action. Let's get organized. We know we are stronger together. Join the Toronto Tenant Union at our orientation!
📆 DATE: May 2nd, 2026
🕓 TIME: 4 PM
📍 WHERE: York South-Weston Community Hub, 2575 Eglinton Ave W, Toronto ON M6M 1T3
🔗 REGISTER: https://www.tenantunion.ca/orientation
We’ll share food, get to know some of the other people who have collectively knocked 10,000 doors to fight Bill 60, and discuss how YOU can get involved in ongoing tenant organizing.
Come learn about what we can do together to build tenant power with our neighbours and force real change in Toronto!
After the orientation please stick around as we'll host a family friendly movie screening at 6 pm.

She had a job, but she just couldn't afford a place of her own. Don't you see how the 1% keep outpricing hard-working people? It's one way to get rid of everyone. It's disgusting. It should be illegal.

They're talking about government-mandated #RentControl. The article doesn't mention it, because #jermalisms, but we have it in #Canberra. My #rent went up $5/week last year; were we still in #Brisbane, we'd be paying exactly twice what we were five years ago.
We don't have a #HousingAffordability problem in #Australia—we have a politician problem. There's simply no political will at state or federal levels to rein landlords in.
