Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

Because it's unclear to me can I just confirm something?
"Maine voters voted to keep in place a 5% cap on rent increases"
Is that an accurate understanding of the situation? If so, good to hear. Great to see landlord co-ops not getting any traction on further parasitizing communities

that's correct. Maine DSA got this on the ballot last year as part of a slate of reforms they wanted in the city and while most of the others failed, the one which established this cap passed with 57% of the vote!
