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

Like--my guess is that generally 1000 extra luxury units will have a similar effect on area prices as 1000 extra spartan units of the same size And speaking for myself I would be delighted with either being built

Yes, and you cure pricing by rent controlling, which is the point. You're replacing a lottery system with a highest bidder system (i.e. rich only) when you remove rent control. This is lateral to density.

Oh no Rent control is still a highest bidder system but instead of competition on price you compete on other margins "I have eighty tenants who want every unit. Why should I choose you? What can you offer me that others can't?"
