The San Francisco Bay Guardian has a great opinion piece this week, marking 30 years of rent control in San Francisco, written by Susan Prentice of the San Francisco Tenants Union.
Where would we be without rent control? The 3oth anniversary of rent control in San Francisco.
This Saturday, the San Francisco Tenants Union will hold a celebration at their offices to mark the anniversary. At the event, our director Dean Preston, will be inducted into the Tenants Hall of Fame!
The author of the SFBG piece doesn't bother marshaling any facts to defend rent control's efficacy; they just assume rent control is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI guess that's what you have to do when the facts aren't on your side:
