Damm shame. Really hope they remember this inevitable resentment when it comes time to vote on policy. It seems the '08 grads did not.


Vote on what policy? What vote do you think could have made a difference?


Direct votes will vary from state to state. But as a recent example in CA voted against rent control... Guess who funded against that prop?

I was more talking indirect, but simply voting in whatever rep that sounded better without keeping the policies they focus on.


I live in a city with rent control and it's a disaster.

It just caused a massive drop in supply and landlords moving to alternative stuff like temporary contracts to get around it. The latter could be legislated against but would probably just cause a further drop in supply.

Ultimately you can't cheat the market, if you want lower prices you either increase supply or decrease demand.
