NE2: Housing Deregulation Act (Failed)

[Napoleon]

The bill as written is marginally effective at best. See clause 1. It prohibits the Assembly from passing a certain type of law. That doesn't really work.

I plan to vote against this because I don't see a serious problem with the current system and I don't think this bill will do anything more than give landlords and megacorps more power. Generally things like this are the domain of the community because it affects those beyond the individual landowner

How will this bill benefit mega-corporations? I could understand saying that getting rid of maximum lot size ordinances would benefit them but I already amended the bill to take that part out.

As for landlords, I assume you're referring to Section 1, Subsection a? I've already provided evidence that rent control a harmful policy that leads to housing shortages.

I'm not very comfortable with D or F either. It would suck if DC was in our region and we set out to do this. Capitalism would destroy the city's character.

DC has height restrictions to prevent Manhattan style skyscrapers from crowding the city.  I agree with sirnick to an extent that communities should be able to establish certain rules and regulations. Is rent control your main issue?
