In our society instant gratification is what is pushed through social and media.

I'm hoping that the legislature here (with plenty of representatives that are NOT from super-lefty urban areas)  will be willing to consider that the downsides of allowing rent control would outweigh any benefits long term,  and there are other approaches to ease homelessness and housing availability crunch that should be considered instead (encouraging more housing construction, incentivising and underwriting riskier tenant pools instead of forcing landlords to take them; reinvestment in mental health and drug treatment programs and transitional housing, working with employers to site new job centers in underdeveloped/struggling areas, etc.)I'm certain that if the state constitution is amended Seattle will implement some kind of rent control.  

But in todays society the healthcare field is highly governed by patient satisfaction almost, if not, more than delivering great healthcare.

Please give opinions to the ramifications of doing this and if it's a bad idea - due to our US societies love affair with the military I'm afraid this can backfire on me - if he wasn't in the military I wouldn't have second thoughts. 

I also know good people who are rich and make valuable contributions to their community and society.  

@Jason D. and @Alexander Vasquez, this is not occurring in today's society which is why there are soo many early twenties living at home with their parents.

There is a portion of society that needs D class rentals, because that is all they can afford or qualify to rent.

It makes even more economic sense to own as modestly as possible, unless you're working a live-in flip, in which case you accept living in a construction zone.In our case, we're moving out of a $150,000 condo in an upscale suburban neighborhood to a duplex we bought for $45,000 in an urban C-neighborhood.

It is the myths of a deeply misguided society that spends its time keeping up with the Kardashians and spends billions of dollars a year on online gambling that tells us there is such a thing as life happiness and contentment, and my personal favorite, becoming "a success."

Having a piece of paper just to get a job can sound frustrating and that society is full of stupid games (and it is), but well, you gotta play the game sometimes to get out of the game (rat race).
