So you're grooving on the Palestinian discriminatory laws he cited but sidestepping that whole issue because it's inconvenient? Or, let me guess, what-about-ism?
My opinion is primarily vested in fixed the US deficit, and so any politician wanting to invest any resources in Israel is immediately in opposition to that. More than this I just see Israel supporters as a bunch of sociopaths who will do anything to support stealing land with racist motivations, including down voting some irrelevant personal opinion on the internet.
You are very opinionated for someone who has little understanding of the history of the region and who thinks that the concept of "race" (however you think that applies) is somehow relevant.
The article makes a whole bunch of points - the main one being that rent control is not a good way to address expensive housing. Are they wrong about other things besides your somewhat beside the point example? Are they wrong that "The city now has nearly 50,000 empty units"?
The fact is a fact, their diagnosis and narrative is fantasy. A fair number of the stabilized empty apartments are due to the specific points in the 2019 law that too greatly impacted the economics of stabilized apartments. Prior to the 2019 law, it was economic to operate stabilized units, but too easy to unstabilize them, hence the motivation for the law. Replacing those dynamics with section 8 is idiocy.
