Which city? My impression was that Cambridge had a more diverse residential population, and more interesting businesses, when rent control was still in effect. If people are spending less money on rent, they have more money to spend at local businesses.

(Somerville had rent control for only a few years in the early 1970s, not long enough to have any real effect)
