Humanism

Agree

Yes

Humanism, with its focus on human welfare and dignity, might support policies that ensure affordable housing for all. Rent control could be seen as a way to protect tenants from exploitative rent increases, ensuring that housing remains accessible to a broader segment of the population. However, the support might not be absolute, as humanists also value evidence-based policies, and the effectiveness of rent control is debated.

Slightly disagree

No, studies show that rent control does not lower rent

Humanism values empirical evidence and rational decision-making, so studies showing rent control's ineffectiveness in lowering rent would be taken seriously. However, the humanist perspective also considers the broader social and ethical implications of policies. If rent control is ineffective, a humanist approach would likely advocate for alternative solutions to ensure affordable housing rather than dismissing the goal of housing affordability altogether.

Disagree

No

While humanism emphasizes individual freedom and economic rights, it places a stronger emphasis on social welfare and equity. Rejecting rent control outright without considering its potential to protect vulnerable populations from housing instability and homelessness might be seen as contrary to humanist values. However, concerns about the long-term effectiveness of rent control and its impact on housing quality and availability might temper outright support.
