Be homeless or live in an overpriced non-rent-controlled apartment.

I'm surprised he managed to write how great housing in Stockholm is with a straight face as everyone knows how terrible this system is for those who can't get a rent controlled apartment.

Obviously this can work in your favor if you're a local and can get in the que when you turn 18 and hit the jackpot when you're 28 but not if you're a foreigner in your 20s or 30s trying to move to Stockholm.

I said it favors insiders over outsiders. That's the system the insiders vote for.

No, you said rent control makes Stockholm "a great city for workers".

You didn't say Swedish only workers.

By "workers", people on HN understand workers of all origins.
