Rent Controls and High City Rents Debate
A satirical 17th century tombstone quip about cheap rents contrasts with modern price spikes in big cities. The piece traces rent-control history from WWII era measures to Nixon era phases, notes Congress failed to reinstate controls, and highlights Maryland's 5 percent cap effective June 1. It explains higher rents stem from taxes, maintenance, and inflation, warns rent controls hinder new housing, and calls for accompanying housing programs to be effective.
