Doug and Joanna each live in rent-controlled apartments and love it. Great for them! I would encourage everyone to find ways to live in
one of the few places in the US that have rent-control (hey, no one has piped up from Santa Monica; here’s your chance, lucky renter!) and simply opt out of the market system and get a great deal for
yourselves. Then when you’ve got your sweet setup, please tell everyone else who doesn’t have access to a similar deal that we’re all crazy and stupid. Be sure to make it sound like you’ve generalized your success to the non-rent-controlled unresponsive asshole landlord that is the norm.

Uh, Jordan, I didn’t do anything like that. Like I said, I compared
actual market rents and house prices for Fort Greene, Brooklyn. No
false generalization involved.
