Centre-Left

Strongly agree

Yes

Centre-left ideologies generally support government intervention in the economy to promote social welfare and reduce inequalities. Rent control policies are seen as a tool to ensure affordable housing for all, a principle that aligns with the centre-left's commitment to social justice and equity. Historical examples include the New Deal policies in the United States during the 1930s, which introduced various forms of rent control to combat the housing crisis of the Great Depression.

Slightly disagree

No, studies show that rent control does not lower rent

While centre-left ideologies support policies aimed at reducing inequality and ensuring affordable housing, they are also generally open to evidence-based policymaking. If studies convincingly show that rent control does not lower rent or has adverse effects, centre-left policymakers might be skeptical of rent control as the best solution. However, this skepticism would likely be balanced with a search for alternative solutions to achieve the underlying goal of housing affordability, rather than a complete dismissal of government intervention in housing markets.

Disagree

No

Centre-left ideologies typically favor some level of government intervention in markets to correct inequalities and provide public goods, which would include affordable housing. Therefore, a flat rejection of rent control policies would not align well with centre-left principles. However, there might be some openness to alternative methods of achieving affordable housing, reflecting a nuanced position rather than outright opposition.
