Я тоже не сторонник. Но elections have consequences. Мне конечно жаль нормальных жителей НЙ, но может их пример хоть остальных убережет. И опять же, шоковая терапия: если терпеть медленный упадок, то к нему привыкнут. А вот если коммунизм построить разом, то в следующий раз могут перехотеть. Правда кажется у этого Мамдани на самом-то деле кишка тонка.
Я всё время надеюсь на "поумнение" избирателей, но множество раз избиратели предпочитают наступать на те же грабли в голубых штатах/городах. И с каждым разом выбор всё хуже и хуже. Что с эти делать непонятно, выбирают самую шваль.
New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani swept to victory Tuesday evening on a platform of affordability, anchored by a plan to freeze rents across nearly 2 million rent-stabilized apartments.
But economists, universally, hate rent control. In a 2012 poll of top economists, just 2% agreed that rent-control laws have had “a positive impact” on the supply and quality of affordable housing. The Nobel laureate Richard Thaler even quipped in the survey that the next question should be: “Does the sun revolve around the Earth?”
To most voters, freezing rents looks like common sense: If prices are out of reach, stop them from rising. But to economists, that’s like treating a fever by breaking the thermometer:
