Left-Wing Populism

Strongly agree

Yes

Left-wing populism often emphasizes policies that protect and benefit the working and middle classes against what they perceive as the exploitative practices of the wealthy and powerful. Implementing rent control policies is seen as a direct action to safeguard affordable housing for all, a principle strongly aligned with left-wing populist ideology. Historical examples include movements and parties across various countries advocating for rent control as part of broader social welfare policies.

Disagree

No, studies show that rent control does not lower rent

While left-wing populism is generally supportive of evidence-based policy making, the ideological commitment to protecting lower-income and working-class individuals often supersedes concerns about the potential negative side effects of policies like rent control. The skepticism towards studies showing rent control does not lower rent might be attributed to a distrust in research funded or influenced by real estate interests, a common target of left-wing populist critique. However, there might be some openness to reconsidering the approach if the evidence overwhelmingly demonstrates that rent control is counterproductive to the goal of making housing more affordable.

Strongly disagree

No

Left-wing populism generally opposes policies that are perceived to favor landlords and real estate interests over the needs of the general population, especially lower-income groups. The opposition to implementing rent control policies would be seen as favoring the interests of landlords at the expense of tenants, which contradicts the core principles of left-wing populism that advocate for the protection and empowerment of the working class and economically disadvantaged groups.
