Let& #39;s keep it real: Sen. Jamie Pedersen (D-Seattle) says @cmkshama has turned Olympia against repealing the state #RentControlBan, but he didn& #39;t really support #RentControl in the first place and endorsed Egan Orion... Smells like campaign spin. https://crosscut.com/2019/10/history-against-her-kshama-sawant-fights-her-political-life">https://crosscut.com/2019/10/h...
"My thoughts about rent control are that it& #39;s really terrible failed policy," Sen. Pedersen said last year. "It tends to depress the creation of new housing stock."
Does this sound like somebody lifting a finger to repeal the ban? (See 5min) #RentControl http://www.seattlechannel.org/misc-video?videoid=x86956">https://www.seattlechannel.org/misc-vide...

We& #39;ve written about how the empirical research on #RentControl is often misrepresented. https://www.theurbanist.org/2019/08/05/the-case-for-rent-control/">https://www.theurbanist.org/2019/08/0...
And the public conversation tends to center landlords rather than tenants struggling to make it as rents skyrocket. Sen. Pedersen is part of that tradition. #RentControl #TenantVoice https://www.theurbanist.org/2019/09/27/understanding-rent-control-politics/">https://www.theurbanist.org/2019/09/2...
