Both reports also fail to realize that rent control affects different areas differently. Harvard Square is much better able to absorb rent control because of the cushion provided by high rents. In Central Square, however, the landlord's profit margin is much thinner, and as a less affluent area, its housing deteriorates much more quickly with any cutbacks on maintenance. Ironically, rent control is hurting most the very groups it was designed to aid-the lower-income group tenant...
Like Freud and Erikson, the life-cycle researchers argue that personality disorders arise when, for one reason or another, the orderly march of life stages is disrupted. Vaillant's studies suggest, for instance, that men who fail to achieve an identity in adolescence sometimes sail through life with a happy-go-lucky air, but never achieve intimacy, BOOM or generativity. "They live out their lives like latency boys," he says, not mentally ill, but developmentally retarded at the childhood level...
Hoffmann's response to this point is that Israelis are so "traumatized" by their wars, that they fail to take seriously present demands.

"The talks fall through, and Yitzhak Rabin becomes a national hero...
PEOPLE WHO ADVOCATE rights to such goods look only at how to distribute them and fail to recognize how they are produced. Goods come into existence with people who have entitlements or rights over them; they don't fall from heaven. This does not mean Nozick is opposed to charity or unaware of social problems. It means he is opposed to government (force) and political "solutions." Political solutions not only have an inherent tendency to immorally sacrifice some people at the state's altar for the benefit of others, but those others rarely get the benefits...
