No, renters positions aren't improved by the turbo chuds getting rid of rent control, but it forces them to resort to more than stalling tactics. Rent control doesn't actively improve their position or grant any leverage. It can be signed away instantaneously, it's the perfect capital-friendly reform. It stops the parasite from killing its host.

I disagree that older western generations didn't get better welfare or have a smoother ramp into homeownership/becoming landlords themselves. That's kind of the point of them going turbo chud and denying it to their kids lol
