What does rent control do to the pricing and supply of apartment,
units? According to the Wall Street Journal, "Rent control
disproportionately subsidizes the affluent. A Harvard University
study in the late 1980s found that rent-controlled apartments

tenants were white, and roughly three-quarters of their
occupants were families without children." Do you think NYC
should maintain rent control?
$30 a week boost to minimum wage

Unions wanted a $35 a week increase, but employers argued that that level of
increase was unaffordable and would send smaller firms to the wall.
