Markham City Council votes to freeze renting of single-family homes – CBS2 (Chicago)

City leaders said the move will curb the high turnover in neighborhoods. Investors, however, said it could cause a bigger problem. "Many people can't get a mortgage, but they're still able to pay rent, so this is preventing people from accessing housing they can afford in communities they want to live in," said a spokesperson from Illinois Realtors.

Maybe they should consider the businesses there. No one in homes , no one buying products, stores close.
It isn’t like people are rushing to move in there

So they are going to go from high turnover to empty houses. Got it. Sounds like Harvey.
