@hawkofkrypton@gwejgegegw11206@Sttandifa It feels like you're reading past what I typed and trying to rebutt real world examples that you asked for. Read back what I typed. Rent control REDUCES supply. That means people are still kicked out, that means houses are still sold for high prices UNDERGROUND or delisted.
@in_jinertia@SotoEnjoyer__@Teecasket@Sttandifa I'm genuinely not trying to sound patronizing because I don't know how old you are but you do realize that the earth isn't covered end to end in buildings right? The limiting factor for new buildings are zoning laws and city regulation.
@hawkofkrypton@gwejgegegw11206@Sttandifa Some examples was America in 1971, Berlin in 2019, and Argentina in 2020. In all of those cases, what happens is supply is taken off the market to be sold through underground channels and new buildings are reduced because contractors can't plan for how much they charge (1/2)
@hawkofkrypton@gwejgegegw11206@Sttandifa In practice rent control is a short sighted policy that ends up reducing overall supply which is the real factor in lowering rents. Going back to the Argentinian example, after they dropped their rent control policy, Buenos Aires had a 170% in supply and a 40% drop in prices(2/2)
