I did not find the article on rent control very convincing. The example used as evidence only showed that rents increased when there was and also when there wasn't rent control. That only shows that rent control is not the sole contributor to rising rents (which seems trivially true).
ReplyDeleteBased on my experience in the SF Bay Area, my impression has been that rent control is not the source of all problems, but it does cause many problems. For instance, it's created a class of voters who benefit from restricting the housing supply.
Good point. I will (time permitting) try to think more deeply about rent control.
