> The main attraction to living in Harlem is the 1-6 trains.
One thing I've thought about is who is paying for the new light rail in Seattle and who will be receiving the benefits of it. It won't be in my current area until 2030, but I'll be paying taxes for it for 21 years. People who move her then get it for free, and since we could say they've been living cheaper elsewhere by not paying for this light rail, they can now bid more for the same area, driving up prices. So the laws should force newcomers to pay up their share of past costs. Otherwise, there is a disincentive to improve our area.
In summary, maybe the current residents shouldn't get rent control, but you new residents should pay plenty on top of rent.
