It’s not like this hasn’t been tried & studied before, and this information isn’t readily found.
Pretty sure reviews of observational work or any introductory economics textbook tells the predictable effects of rent controls.
Even socialist economists have compared rent control to slightly better than dropping a bomb.
While I’m no expert, discussions around here look like a bunch of armchair critics agreeing with each other’s dogma on gut feels & wishful thinking without reaching out for anything objective to substantiate their opinions.
No sign of anyone cracking open a credible book on the subject, checking some scholarly articles, getting information from someone with a relevant degree, or sitting through a class on it & paying attention.
Chamber echoic.
Random, late-night gunfire might do wonders to keep property values low: maybe do that?
While a Banksy might have the opposite effect, it’s worth a try.
A few cars on cinder blocks, abandoned baby strollers, toddlers on the street at 2AM, the odd street shrine to someone killed at that spot add a certain charm that could seal it.
Wouldn’t dropping a bomb be easier?
what would that help?
It would help the owner of the bomb factory get more money.
yeah but what does that have to do with the post?
Same results, fewer steps?

i’ve heard graffiti also does wonders to ensure that rent doesn’t go up too much
