Third, passive renter control and tenant protections. It is important for the policies to limit the rent increase and also protect tenants from being kicked out unjustly. It is about creating stability and power for renters in a market that is frequently hostile, if not completely one-sided, against them.These are not just concepts: they have been shown to work. One example is Columbia Heights in Washington D.C. A historically African American area and adjacent to Howard University. Columbia Heights experienced extreme disinvestment and damage from the MLK riots, which led to City intervention with renewed investment into the area, with several caveats. In contrast to the former issues with rent disinvestment and tenant displacement, the new investment will incorporate incorporate 1) An additional subway stop, 2) units of affordable housing, and 3) funding for nonprofits to develop affordable housing. To this day, Columbia Heights has kept 20% of housing affordable and former tenants now own their own buildings with tenant protections keeping tenants stable amidst the intensifying growth.

It also uses pathos in making the listener imagine the crowding and perhaps having an emotional reaction to wealthy newcomers.
