At a recent rally in Las Vegas, Democratic White House hopeful Bernie Sanders put forth a plan to dramatically increase the federal government’s involvement in the housing market. This plan would include, among other things, instituting rent control nationally and making federal housing assistance an entitlement.
According to the New York Times, Sanders said, “For too long, this is one of those issues that we just don’t talk about. We have an affordability housing crisis in Nevada, in Vermont and all over this country”.
