There is no fact-based defense for rent control. It is a short term political play to purchase the votes of renters who live in high demand neighborhoods, and it dooms those neighborhoods to decline and blight.
If Mamdani just took a few hours to go over Sowell's work, he might learn a thing or two. But then again, it wouldn't surprise me if he said something like, "Well, that wasn't real rent control." In much the same way socialists claim that failed socialist states in the past and present, when they say, "That wasn't real socialism." Then, they'll go on without explaining how it wasn't real socialism.
Scariest words ever spoken by man: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.
