“讽刺”
用英语怎么说？

A rent freeze could turn the steady decay of housing into a full-blown crisis. Small owners, lacking financial reserves, will face rising property taxes and insurance costs. This could lead to property abandonment, echoing the 1970s when landlords abandoned buildings they could no longer afford to maintain. Historical interventions, like the 1968 federal FAIR insurance program, accidentally incentivized landlords to burn down their buildings for payouts. While today's landlords are not about to commit arson, current rent laws still incentivize them to remove unprofitable units from the market or let them deteriorate. It is ironic that progressives look at these government-created problems and blame market failure. Rent regulation has turned New York housing into a stressful game of musical chairs. If Mamdani's plan is implemented, the city's rickety housing market might collapse entirely, leaving residents with even fewer options.

租金冻结可能会将住房的持续衰退演变成一场全面危机。缺乏资~金储备 的小业主将面临不断上涨的财产税和保险成本。这可能会导致房产被遗弃，呼应了20世纪70年代房东遗弃他们无力维持的建筑物的景象。历史上的干预措施，如1968年联邦的FAIR保险计划，意外地激励了房东为了赔偿金而烧毁自己的建筑物。虽然今天的房东不会去纵火，但现行的租金法仍然激励他们将无利可图的单元移出市场或任其恶化。讽刺 的是，进步人士看着这些 government 制造的问题，却归咎于市场失灵。租金管制已将纽约住房变成了一场紧张的抢椅子游戏。如果马姆达尼的计划得以实施，该市摇摇欲坠 的住房市场可能会完全崩溃，让居民的选择变得更少。
