flag David Caldwell, a centrist Democrat, opposes rent control in Providence’s Second Ward, advocating for increased housing supply instead.

flag David Caldwell, a centrist Democrat running for Providence’s Second Ward City Council, opposes rent control, arguing that increasing housing supply—not regulation—solves rising rents, citing cities like Minneapolis and Austin. flag He warns that rent control and tax hikes could deter private investment and push landlords out, potentially benefiting large, unaccountable investors. flag The competitive primary includes four candidates—Caldwell, Jill Davidson, Jeff Levy, and Matthew McDermott—each with differing views on housing policy, with Davidson supporting rent stabilization, while Levy and Caldwell oppose rent control. flag The race, fueled by $130,000 in campaign spending, centers on the ward’s affluent neighborhoods and upcoming general election.
