If there weren't for things like rent control or prop 13 those people would just be suffering anyway as rents or property values would increase where they live as well. So I don't see that argument making much sense. Thing like prop 13 is probably damaging because it inflates property values however.
I just don't think that makes much sense. Social criteria like where you went to school is one of the most important things in very capitalist countries. It didn't used to be very important in Sweden 20 years ago. There were also essentially no social housing, university dorms, private kindergartens, minimum wage or employer provided health care. Social criteria are a big thing in capitalist countries where inequality is accepted. Countries like Sweden have less social criteria as most people getting the same deal, so there is less of a need to treat people differently. At the same time the Nordic countries have had the best social mobility in the developed world (at least in terms of income).

What?
Edit: Nothing in my comment is inaccurate. Just because you hide arguments doesn't make yours any better, in fact it makes them worse. And if you don't revaluate your own opinion when the mob tries to censor those they feel are wrong you can't expect to be smart.
