This prevalent inequality, or difference, is a “justification of litigation by ‘insiders' in defense of their community” (Greenhouse, et al. 175).

This, in turn, increases the rents of uncontrolled apartments even more. New constructions are also avoided because banks and insurance companies don't want to invest in areas where rent control is in effect, because they know that it is likely that landlords will not be able to pay for the building, and they will lose their investment. For all of these reasons, I believe that rent control should ...
