If you take the worst version of a policy then it is very easy to criticize and get a consensus. That doesn't mean it's not possible to have a rent stabilization policy that can both enhance housing stability without dramatically distorting the market.

Can you cite an example of a rent stabilization policy that doesn't dramatically distort the market?
