[QUOTE="wawazat, post: 3646785, member: 35603"] What you are seeking is a price ceiling during times of distress? Is that an accurate summary? The issues with a price ceiling are similar to a ban. It leads to under the table deals for way more money than the sticker on the item shows. Cities have tried it on apartment prices to keep areas from being completely gentrified. Suddenly you see crazy security deposits, annual "membership" fees to an HOA, parking fees, etc. to restrict the demand back down to those willing to pay for the scarcity of supply. I am not necessarily disagreeing with your intent. I really dislike people that have no concern for the community around them other than taking advantage of them for a dollar. It is incredibly counterproductive to the type of environment humans thrive in. What I am saying is the market has a way of finding balance whether we like it or not. There is no way around it that I have ever seen be successful for any amount of time. Even in communist or socialist regimes, you can get some extra rations if you have enough money. [/QUOTE]
