The article was also intentionally misleading which makes me also believe it's bad faith. The rent control is not covering apartments made after 2014 which is a sizeable market considering how fast Berlin has grown. I totally get what you mean though about how they think regulation hurts people though, that ideology can be attributed to a lot of things (but all stem from the same thing.) The other part about that though is they're not too interested in seeing the sucess that rent control has had, their only job here is to nitpick things in a way that makes their argument sound. It's to be a expected though from a Bloomberg writer though, you don't get in that position by actually breaking down topics in a more methodical way.
Oh and I meant that about the bread price thing too. Like their whole concept that it's worse to have empty shelves (i.e. people eating food) as opposed to people not being able to afford food lol
