Should cities and towns be allowed to impose rent control?

This poll has ended (since 22 days).

As a statewide rent control initiative appears headed to the November ballot, Gov. Maura Healey said she favors a compromise with rent control advocates to keep the matter from appearing before voters. A potential compromise would give local governments the option to impose rent control in their communities, rather than the ballot initiative's proposal of blanket rent control for the entire state. Update: The Supreme Judicial Court on Tuesday disqualified the rent control initiative from the November ballot.

No, rent control should not be allowed in any form in Massachusetts.
