that placing limits on rent raises could potentially slow down the development of new housing stock, which is desperately needed.its soon-to-be-cemented plan for placing a 10% cap on annual rent increases, which would be tied to inflation and include carve-outs for new buildings and small properties like triple-deckers. It’s a softer rent-control plan than what tenant organizers like City Life/Vida Urbana and many Boston renters — myself included—have been calling for.
But even with exemptions like this, there’s only so much the Wu administration can do with rent control if Boston is the only city in Massachusetts to adopt it. That’s not to say Mayor Wu’s rent control shouldn’t be enacted anyway: Even a modest cap on rent hikes would still provide some tangible short-term relief for tenants who’ve been getting gouged for decades.
