Rent controls and more section 8 housing will make it a better place?

We've tried that enough already, no?

We need a better kind of rent control like LVT (which doesn't control rent, but disincentivizes parasitic landlords) and a better kind of public housing (like Singapore's HDB, which is self supporting).

The US does both of these really poorly and then acts surprised when they don't work.
