A genuine freeze would prevent a lowering of prices wouldn't it? I guess that would be the crucial or one of the crucial pieces of information to get. In the policy advocated by this group, would landlords be able to lower their rents? But once again, kudos to you Bob!

I was trying to think of scenarios where one group of landlords wants to foist a regulation on everybody, because it would hurt their competitors more, but I don't see how that works. You'd want the government passing a law requiring your competitors to *raise* prices, right?<br /><br />Is it possible this is jujitsu, and because of the economy, high unemployment, etc., rents are actually falling? And so they are really making a plea for a price floor, but acting like it's a ceiling?Bob Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04001108408649311528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225373.post-6125466069317212222010-01-29T10:01:50.209-05:002010-01-29T10:01:50.209-05:00The Blackadder Says:

It appears to take exactly the sort of positions you would expect of a landlord's association: <br /><br />http://www.rsanyc.com/articles/antiownerlegislation.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
