I don't quite understand how you're framing this.

Oregon figured out a level of increase that would be too disruptive for its appetite, and had the legislature cap the rate to below that level.

On average over the past five years, that cap would not have been reached, though it may have been reached in any one of those years.

Is this a self own or mistake of some kind? Are you inferring that landlords will now raise rents more than they would have in the uncapped situation?
