Very strongly agree

No

Libertarians would strongly agree with this answer because it aligns with their core belief in minimal government intervention in the economy. They argue that the free market, driven by supply and demand, should determine rent prices. This perspective is consistent with libertarian economic principles advocated by thinkers like Milton Friedman, who criticized rent control for leading to inefficiencies and shortages in the housing market.

Strongly agree

No, studies show that rent control does not lower rent

While this answer does not explicitly oppose government intervention on ideological grounds, it aligns with the libertarian critique of rent control's effectiveness, which is a secondary but important aspect of their opposition. Libertarians often use empirical evidence to support their arguments against government policies. Studies showing that rent control does not lower rent would be cited by libertarians as evidence that such policies are not only ideologically unsound but also practically flawed.

Yes

Libertarian ideology strongly opposes government intervention in the free market, including rent control policies.
