Do you think Boston voters would support a return to rent control?

Yeah, we need to. There’s too many people who can’t afford market rents.

Dorchester

Yes, because the housing market is not affordable to buy or to rent.

Theresa Gaul

Roxbury

No. Because the landlords wouldn’t back it.

Myrtha Clendinen

Homemaker

Boston

I don’t know. Rent is too high in Roxbury. It’s not affordable for working-class people. Up the street, they want $2,200 for a 1 bedroom apartment.

Walker Haynes

Mattapan

Yes. Right now, rents are astronomical. It’s why there are so many homeless families in Boston. $1,900 for a two-bedroom apartment in Roxbury is ridiculous.

Donald Turner

Kitchen Supervisor

Roxbury

Yes, they would. Bostonians are a savvy electorate. Housing costs are starting to hurt renters and homeowners alike.
