Reply to comment by Funktownajin in The harms of gentrification | The exclusion of poorer people from their own neighbourhoods is not just a social problem but a philosophical one by ADefiniteDescription

How vague and simultaneously useless. Good job thinking of "ideas".

People want equality and equity while ignoring the fact that everyone isn't the same. And no matter how hard you try, you'll never get equal results. If you give people freedom, they'll segregate themselves into different castes over time.

They use rent control in lots of places to avoid mass evictions genius, it is in fact a big deal.

You do realize that if a landlord cannot increase rent to match inflation, then the landlord will be unable to fix anything wrong with the residence right?

Man i think you can answer your own question here, do your own research on rent control. And yes i saw you wrote a whole different response, deleted it and rewrote it. This new response isn't any better....

rent control doesn't mean not being able to fix anything, the question was loaded hyperbole from the beginning. So you need to do your own research.

A "Yes it is, not it's not" retort does not constitute as answering the question. Again, why do you keep responding if you're not gonna answer the question?

The question had a false premise, are you really this stupid that you can't read or reason?

Well if you’re not gonna answer the question you should probably stop responding.
