Both of these policies drive up the cost of living causing families to move out[1]:

Rent control makes apartment rentals more expensive (and lower quality).

Overpaid municipal workers must be supported with higher taxes and/or higher fees.

The article you cite doesn't say anything about overpaid municipal workers or rent control.
