SITUATION EXPLAINED: Why does rent control create the exact housing crisis it claims to solve? We asked Rob Henderson, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and author of Troubled. "If you just say, 'I'm going to make this thing cheaper,' or 'I'm going to prevent the price from increasing,'...

Thomas Sowell on why rent control is so damaging: “If rent control is severe, people either reduce the amount of housing they build or they stop building housing altogether.” “Political authorities are then confronted with a situation where there’s no new housing built and the old housing is wearing out—usually faster under rent control because the landlords don’t have to keep it up as much.” “So they step in and have some kind of modification. They say, ‘We are trying to protect the poor, so we won’t regulate luxury housing.’” “Of course, luxury housing and ordinary housing use much the same labor and the same materials. Therefore, all the materials that would have otherwise gone into making ordinary housing go into building luxury housing.”

How can we understand the power of ideology? Stephen Kotkin offers up NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani as an example: “So there's this young kid who's really adept at social media who just looks like he won the primary for a Democratic candidate for mayor in New York City. And one of the things he wants to do is freeze rents because he wants more affordable housing. So he's a complete idiot in terms of facts. The way to get more affordable housing is to build more housing. If supply massively increases and it exceeds demand, the price has to go down. It's proven again and again and again. And what rent control does or freezing of rent, it inhibits the building of new housing. Because who's going to build new housing when you can't make money off of it? Rent control is what produces the lack of affordable housing in the first place. So he sees what's the problem as the solution now. Now, is he a fool? No, he's a really bright guy. He's very well educated.”

Seattle just handed out another $28 million bailout to affordable housing developers who can’t make their payments. That brings the total to $42 million in two years. Why? Because the policies pushed by the Seattle City Council – and echoed by legislative Democrats in Olympia – are making it harder to provide rental housing, including: ▶️Government rent control. ▶️No accountability when rent isn’t paid. ▶️Rules that make it impossible to manage properties. Small mom and pop housing providers don’t get bailouts. They go bankrupt, lose their properties, and Washington loses more affordable housing in the process. This is not sustainable. The Legislature needs to fix the policies that are causing these problems.

Why is Melbourne more affordable to buy or rent than the other big cities? Because we're building more homes everywhere to give young people more choice and more power in the market. The Liberals will reverse our changes, remove your choices, and make the housing crisis worse.

Cea Weaver says the quiet part out loud.... "We decided that fighting for rent control was a strategic and critical first step in the fight for full social housing... We decided that through a program like rent control, we are able to directly challenge the logic of unfettered profit in the real estate market. We are able to directly challenge housing as a wealth-building tool and, through regulation, strike a blow to the entire real estate industry at once. The beauty of rent stabilization and rent control is that it weakens the speculative value of the real estate asset. The value is no longer based on what the landlord is able to get, but rather it’s based on a state public board deciding how much rent is going up. And yes, that board is controlled by the real estate industry, and yes, there could be a better way to regulate it. But the idea is that we could weaken the entire industry at once through a strong rent control campaign, and that would strengthen our ability to fight for social housing.” Serious question: How is this constitutional?

Caleb Hammer explains why rent control doesn’t work “It’s one of those policies that sounds really good and really moral. You want to support it, landlords make less money and people pay less rent. But everywhere it’s been enacted, permitting has dropped significantly, and rents have gone up even faster for the average person, except for the few lucky ones in subsidized housing” “Units go untouched and aren’t maintained at all. I think something like 10-20% of rent controlled units in New York are empty because they can’t be brought up to standard, since it’s not worth investing in. In Massachusetts, rent control was a complete disaster and had to be repealed. In San Francisco, the moment they introduced it, permitting dropped. It just hasn’t worked”

Rent Caps Don’t Work Govt intervention in housing drives prices up. "Every time the government gets involved in a market, it distorts the market. It limits the flow of liquidity and it limits the market finding lower price" “The government is now trying to limit what a landlord can charge in such a dramatic way that it's ripped out all of the incentive for landlords to buy and own these buildings… there's no incentive to go and build new housing" "All of which create this perfect storm of disaster where we're just raising our hands and you know what we say? ‘Please government do more.’ And if the government does more, I can tell you one thing for sure: prices are going to go up even more." … sounds familiar! 🇮🇪

American citizens are losing their minds finding out illegals have been getting Section 8 housing while they have to pay full rent “You're telling me with rent being like 50% of the average American's income, they're getting housing assistance, but we have to make full rent and live 3 people to an apartment. But we have to have roommates until our 30s. But these guys are getting housing assistance… Like I genuinely I am at the point where I'm starting to think that if you're an average American citizen, you should automatically qualify for welfare. Not because you don't make enough money, but just because they've given out so much to people who literally aren't supposed to even be here. Anyone who can't see how that's a problem, if nothing else, just because we pay into the system” “How many of these people say they're coming over here seeking asylum, but then they're ungrateful to the country that's willing to save their lives? Make it make sense.”

Today, I am proud to announce that I will be proposing “Zohran’s law," a law that will keep the rich out of New York’s affordable housing. Zohran Kwame Mamdani : you say freeze the rent. But for who? Rich people like you? Hardworking, working class New Yorkers are being pushed from their neighborhoods. Let’s build affordable housing that helps the people who need it. Under Zohran’s law, landlords can no longer rent vacant rent-controlled units to the wealthy. You are a rich person stealing affordable housing from the poor. And you’re not the only one. It’s past time we address this injustice. Let’s build a new NYC that works for the people who need it.

Zohran Mamdani rent controls will make things worse, New York regulations are the problem “Looking at our friend, Javier Milei, the president of Argentina, he has removed all rent regulation — In a year and a half, supply has increased and rents are down 30%” “You look at New York, for example, without going into too much detail, there's all these policies that are in place to help create more affordable housing. But unfortunately, it's a fundamental misunderstanding of supply and demand. There's a state program, for example, that says, okay, if you build a building that's over a certain number of units, then you have to change these wage structures and you need to have this percentage affordable and all that, and that cap is about 100 units, 100 apartments. So if you look at all of the 100% of the applications under the new program, to build these buildings in New York, 100% of them are 99 units or below. Looking at our friend, Javier Milei, the president of Argentina, he has removed all rent regulation from Argentina and Buenos Aires. In a year and a half, supply has increased and rents are down 30%. That's incredible. In a year and a half, two years, there is 40 to 50,000 by our estimates, vacant apartments in Manhattan that because of rent regulation are not being put onto the market. That's insane. So you could have, by just changing policy, you could increase increase a huge number of units, and you could also bring all these units back online, and you could cut the price of housing in New York, and we don't have to resort to socialism. They're only able to freeze rents on the regulated units, which means the free market rents can float. And also, if you make it impossible under that regime to build more apartments, guess what happens to the price of free market rents? They keep going up. They are going to skyrocket.”

In China they believe houses are for living in not for speculation or profit. It has resulted in 90% of Chinese people owning their homes while people in the U.S. struggle to pay rent. China also invests in social housing while the U.S. government gives money to for-profit real estate developers to build “affordable housing” that is NOT actually affordable.

And while this byzantine law wasn't often enforced, San Franciscans like Josh and Lisa who wanted to set up co-ops and shared housing establishments were choosing not to for fear of non-compliance. That's why we passed the Shared Housing Reform Act earlier this year. So San Franciscans can choose to live with whom they want, where they want, and not fear being afoul of the law. Josh and Lisa have been able able to start work on a shared housing project in the Mission now that the Shared Housing Reform Act has passed. And we're excited to see the residents move in in the years ahead!
