I don't like the idea of residents of far-away cities having a say in housing policy in my city. But I'd also support a federal-level ban on rent control policies, based on the idea that it's a net-good if we encourage people to move to more efficiently allocate housing.

But I totally see how this is kind of hypocritical. I just want things my way, everywhere. :-] idk!

I suppose that the next-best thing is to have local control with freedom of movement. The United States and cities are kind of like this--- it allows for states and cities to try out different policies, and compete based on policy.
