Rent stabilization is good.
In an unprecedented move, Austria is regulating rents for the entire country.
All apartments that already have government regulation have seen a total rent freeze this year.

Fantastic piece from our friends at @natfairhouse.bsky.social and Relman & Colfax. Proving discrimination through circumstantial or indirect evidence is an approach grounded in over half a century of case law and shouldn't be considered remotely controversial.
