Rent control

Read a random definition: mixed policy

A quick definition of Rent control:

Term: Rent control

Definition: Rent control is a rule made by the government that says landlords can't charge too much rent for their apartments or houses. This is to help people who can't afford to pay high rent. Some places have rent control laws, but not all. Some people think rent control is good because it helps people keep their homes, but others think it's bad because it makes it hard for landlords to make money and take care of their properties.

A more thorough explanation:

Rent control is a policy that limits the amount of rent a landlord can charge for a property in a specific area. This policy is usually put in place by a local government. Only a few states and the District of Columbia currently have active rent control laws.

Some people believe that rent control helps people who cannot afford high rent prices. Others argue that it discourages landlords from investing in their properties and keeping them in good condition.

For example, in New York City, rent control has been in place since World War II. This means that some tenants pay much less than the market rate for their apartments. However, landlords may not have enough money to make repairs or improvements to the building because they cannot charge higher rent prices.

Another example is San Francisco, where rent control has been in place since 1979. This policy has helped many long-term tenants stay in their homes despite rising rent prices. However, some landlords have converted their rental properties into condos or other types of housing that are not subject to rent control.

Overall, rent control is a controversial policy that has both benefits and drawbacks.

@Rightfullytherlauren: I am apparently a hot guy or just a slut cause I have had this before. If it is a FWB then you gotta follow the rules on that like wrapping your tool and such but if it is a casual fuck/bootie call they do not need to know if you are trying to find love and what you are doing when you are busy

You just have to be smart and accept your choices, I know some people will believe a casual hook up or FWB is a regular exclusive thing. Communication is key if you are playing it that way but it is very dangerous to have multiple partners at the same time in a non-exclusive way

Crazy story, I had dinner with the dad of a friend of mine and he just openly went on Tinder in front of me and the other guys. Later my mom ran into him with another woman (not his wife/friend's mom) and he got very uncomfortable and never texted her again

I can't imagine what it's like being a cheater or like a serial dater. Shit seems so nervewracking
