there also isn't a single city in the US that has rent-controlled its way into affordability

incorrect- rent controlled units in SF & NYC are still affordable- in fact, my artist community can find me a spacious spot in either city in a *beautiful* loft for $600/month thanks to Rent Control. The only thing keeping artists in these cities

oh, damn, i guess skyrocketing rents in those cities are just fake news

Skyrocketing rents in *unregulated units* We have methods to create affordable housing already in practice- unfortunately you'd rather team up with landlords to use *their ideas to create more wealth inequality instead of teaming up with the anti-landlord locals

i get that you hate new people in NYC but new people come here every year and they need a place to live--they have been since forever. Trying to rent control your way out of the problem does nothing to address the fundamental imbalance of supply and demand

I get that you hate an affordable NYC, but new people have more than enough available housing to move into in NYC as it exists currently. What they don't have is enough rent controlled units

there's available housing in every neighborhood. right now. What there isn't enough of, is rent controlled housing
