    Watching this debate again and I’m so happy Wu won. Essaibi is legit annoying, obviously for the corporations and I hated how she spoke to Michelle in a condescending manner about Mass&Cass
    Congratulations Mayor Wu

    Both candidates are disappointing. They promise many things but they don't explain how exactly they will achieve it. If you propose rent control you gotta give specific examples of successful rent control policies in the past.

    • @WilmingtonLandlord
      @WilmingtonLandlord 2 роки тому +2

      That's the art of politics. Rent control sounds good, but really can kill a city. Both economic theory, supply and demand, and all implementations from all over the world, prove that rent control causes housing shortages that reduce the number of low income people who can live in a city. Even worse, rent control will raise demand for housing and therefore increase the rent too because high demand and short supply. Free market is the only way to get the more housing to the market and also the cheapest rent

      Also, China has a larger navy than the US now. They produce about 30% of the worlds CO2 emissions. All their factories that produce so many goods that come to US don't even have any kind of environmental controls, I mean air, water, etc. This is how they can produce so cheaply. Their coal fired generation plants don't even have scrubbers in the chimneys. I've lived and worked their and this is how I know China produces so much pollution. When I lived there I had bronchitis every six months as the air quality is so bad.
