Joseph Stiglitz

As an economist, I strongly believe that rent price controls in high-demand areas are essential to ensure housing affordability and prevent the displacement of lower-income residents. Without intervention, the market can exacerbate inequality and limit access to housing for those who need it most.

As an economist, I strongly believe that evictions should be banned for vulnerable families without alternative housing. Housing is a fundamental human right, and forcibly removing families during times of economic hardship exacerbates inequality and social instability. By providing secure housing, we not only protect vulnerable families but also promote healthier, more productive communities. Policymakers must prioritize these humane policies to ensure economic security and stability for all citizens.
