The proposal is an attempt to seize momentum on one of the campaign’s top issues — the housing crisis — and could affect nearly one million homes, or about 40 percent of the city’s rental market.

If forces young poor people to subsidize rich old people.
How is that a good thing?
“rich” old people are not living in rent controlled apartments. The landlord is far more likely to be the rich old person you are thinking of. But rent control does help protect them from urban decay destroying their investment. So there is that. But it protects the renters as well. So win win. You clearly have no actual logic behind your argument. Just a short sited opinion.
I need you to explain why you think it’s bad. What is the harm you’re perceiving. that other person explained why they think it works. you haven’t explained why you think it doesn’t, you just say “it’s not a good thing.” that’s not good enough. clearly i either don’t agree with whatever morality you’re waving at or i dont see its application to the situation. dont be lazy, defend yourself. what if you’re right and all i see is that guy attempting a point and you being like, ‘nuh-uh.’ what am i supposed to think.
edit: downvote and ignore not the clap-back you think it is
