"This bill may have unintended consequences of creating a hostile environment for providers of rental housing and could result in further diminished supply of rental housing based on inadequate data."

The idea that landlords provide housing is so insanely ass-backwards

Landlords provide housing in the same way insurance companies provide healthcare. It's cynical neoliberal semantic dancing.

Landlords providing housing is such a ludicrous concept that you have to be getting paid by landlords to believe it

Rent counts toward GDP so if the state built housing and provided it for free that would make the country less economically productive, since all that money going towards rent no longer is, and all you would get for it is housing for everyone
