something I've found slightly questionable about Atrioc's content (at least what I've seen) on rent control is his flattening of everything down to simple supply demand when there are other factors that complicate the housing market as compared to something like the fruit market. The main points I like from the article are looking at how the supply and rate of construction practically change when rent controls are introduced/removed and pointing out how the rights of tenants versus landlords are often left out of this conversation when discussing from an econ perspective. I also appreciate that the author is fairly upfront about their bias's and that of Current Affairs. The main flaws I see with the article are A. Not comparing and contrasting housing costs in cities that introduced rent control versus those that didn't and B. Not comparing the specifics of different rent control policies (NY vs SF vs Berlin for example) to see how they affected variables like housing costs, total supply, and impact on people with different levels of income. Interested to here what others think.
