What's worse is it's also usually more expensive than just doing it at the moment

Some call it hypocrisy, others call it "survival instinct"

fwiw, the roads are constantly littered with accidents and the US has the highest pedestrian fatality rate out of all "western" nations

Ironic considering in the USA this person would likely have a much more linent sentence for this specific crime

There's an average renter turnover. If the market would usually see a 5% increase yoy, and average stay us 5 years, this 3% policy means you'd have tenents "underpaying" by about 13%. So, to compensate, instead of new leases being 27% more expensive, they'll be 40% more expensive after 5 years.

The root cause of all the raising home prices and rents is always the same: nimbys and lack of housing supply. Rent control works for people who are already in a home, but makes the problem worse for everyone else (who move, or become adults, etc)

Overwatch disabled doubling up well after launch, and only because they couldn't or wouldn't balance the game such that a 4 tank no DPS comp didn't utterly cheese the game.

The cops almost certainly don't feel anything lol. They decided it wasn't their problem.
