How did that work for Berlin? Try moving there today and tell me how affordable it is for newcomers.

Rent control is basically subsidizing existing grandfathered tenants by fleecing those new wishing to move in, without fixing the underlying housing shortage in any way.

The solution is always, always, having (building) more supply than the demand, yet nobody seems to get it.
