    I don’t think it has to be that complex. Here in the Netherlands, we have a system that non-luxury houses get points and the number of points determines the maximum rent.

    It’s not perfect, but for many decades it worked quite well.

    A reform is now being proposed to extend the system to middle class housing.

    Complex and subjective systems are risky, precisely because they provide opportunities to cheat.

    Simple is best.
