I hate rent control. But the effect would likely be a big increase in condo construction and effectively an artificial decrease in apartment availability, which would increase the demand for condos. But it would also damage Chicago's affordability, increasing the cost of rent for new leases and condo prices. Affordability is an advantage that we don't want to lose.
