Hammond Proposes Rent Caps Tied to Property Value
John Baker Hammond, former prohibition sleuth, testifies before Des Moines House Judiciary on tenement rents. He argues tying rents to assessed property values will curb extortionate rates, reduce tenement overcrowding, and encourage home ownership while condemning illicit activities housed by high rents. He cites New York scenes and Iowa aims, predicting public costs and social ills driven by unaffordable housing. The piece also notes Chautauqua Park improvements and planned band concerts for the season.
