He claims that rent control is a form of private property theft that demonizes capitalism and ultimately leads to the destruction of cities.

“This is the start of it, right? By being like, "Okay, yeah, it's yours, but not really. We're going to tell you what to do with it. This is how he's starting to try to bring in that socialism that he always says he wants to bring in, free everything and socialized programs."”

She believes that rent control policies are intended to provide short-term gratification to voters rather than addressing the long-term sustainability of housing.

“The leftists don't think about that. They think about the here and now. What's going to benefit me right now? Okay, this rent freeze is going to benefit me now. I don't care what happens in two years because I want to feel good now.”

He suggests that rent control and the seizure of properties will inevitably lead to the destruction of New York because the city will ultimately force out capital and investment.

“So there's all these proposals and all these policies to that he had to make on the campaign trail that he's now fulfilling that's just going to lead to the destruction of New York because when the big money leaves that's when the problems come back”

Jamee Moudud views rent control as a legitimate policy tool for managing social costs, suggesting that smaller landlords can be compensated with subsidies or tax credits.

“if you're a smaller landlord then you could be given some kind of a tax credit. You could be given some kind of public subsidy that could deal with that kind of an issue which you brings you straight back to the question of the public financing of all of this.”
