Hi, Joe.  I am glad that you ultimately voted in favor of rent control,
but, although I agree with your reasons, the main issue is local control.
I strongly believe that every town should be an island and have its own
policies and not be dictated to by the state or the federal government.  I
do care about the poor, but I care more about towns having autonomy.

I guess this is my "T" side coming out.  (I tested as borderline T/F.)
