    That sounds like a welcome reduction in housing cost in an expensive, densely populated city with good public transportation

      Like this will actually cause prices to down. I could see some Landlords trying to upsale this for higher prices.

        It should factually reduce the cost of building housing as that is one less thing to build. How much that cost reduction is going to translate to lower buying/letting prices is a different question, I agree

      oh sure, it’s a “reduction” because you agree with it.

      while in reality it’s an erosion of tenant rights that won’t stop until the only right you have is to pay them and “enjoy” what you get.
