Regarding: "...New York City the only large city in the United States that has strong rent control laws." Isn't Washington, DC, a large city? It also has rent control. 63.242.163.109 (talk) 19:00, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article should be re-named "Rent Regulation in New York," since apartments under actual rent control are now a very small percentage of both total apartments in NYC and NYC apartments under regulation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.73.84.239 (talk) 23:33, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"The legislation, if passed..." Well, was it passed in 2009 or wasn't it? It is 2011 now so we ought to know. 69.174.171.59 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:06, 12 August 2011 (UTC).[reply]

New York is not the only large city with strong rent control

... so I removed that sentence. San Francisco also has strong rent regulations. FWIW that assertion wasn't supported by the citation either--it seems to stem from a non-authoritative quoted statement within the referenced news article, not from the reported content. --Threephi (talk) 05:41, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
