rent controls lead to empty shut down buildings and an increase in the homeless. They tried it in NYC. People here in America do things for a profit, and rightly so!
The entire ball of economic and social ideas from the left is destructive nonsense. As George Orwell once put it, "You have to belong to intelligentsia to believe things like that; no ordinary man would be such a fool." Unfortunately for the rest of us, the new intelligentsia, the new enthusiastic reformers on our College campuses and elsewhere, have not learned that from the past 2 centuries. My contention is that we cannot allow them to continue until they "figure it out." We cannot wait until twenty years from now when they will begin to complain about having made "a tremendous mistake." At that time America may look, more or less, like today's Russia.
