These policies always weed out competition, ultimately backfiring on the very people they are intended to protect.I’ll invest as always in CO, and while I won’t vote for people who push such policies, I’ll keep investing, knowing that more government prevents the market from working and introducing supply long-term, limiting my competition and driving up rents and demand from quality tenants ever faster.
