    Nobody builds new rental properties that aren’t profitable. I dunno, would you, if you had that kind of money?

      If I were a government? Yes. Because housing people will have far reaching benefits that go beyond short term profits.

        No, if you were a potential landlord.

        Rent control implies private landlords, so you can’t just say you wouldn’t become a landlord.
