say it with me:
BUILDING
APARTMENTS
WITHOUT
CONTROLS
ON
THE
RENTS
OF
THOSE
APARTMENTS
ONLY
ENRICHES
DEVELOPERS
AND
DOES
NOT
DRIVE
DOWN
RENTS
thinking that it does is some neolib "free market" bullshit

i appreciate machinists and would never suppose i have any notion of how to do your work, most likely I would injure myself within twenty seconds of even viewing your tools in this light i am curious why you imagine you have special insight into optimal housing market design

because if the things that I machine were constantly fucking up your life and the lives of millions of people around you, on a massive scale and in long-term ways, I wouldn't be surprised if you walked into my machine shop and said "you are doing something very wrong here"

doing the opposite hasn't exactly served us well, forgive me if I disregard conventional wisdom here, because it seems to be constructed entirely to maintain a status quo that is unbearable to the lower 1/3rd or so of the economy
-
totally--it's awful! and I shout my lungs out about it daily the take from my angle is not: landlords greedy vs not, take greed as a constant over time and judge as you like but house prices are skyrocketing mostly because it's nigh-impossible to build more housing where needed
