Freakonomics radio: Why Rent Control Doesn’t Work (Ep. 373)
Update: 2025-08-27
Description
From Freakonomics radio:
As cities become ever-more expensive, politicians and housing advocates keep calling for rent control. Economists think that’s a terrible idea. They say it helps a small (albeit noisy) group of renters, but keeps overall rents artificially high by disincentivizing new construction. So what happens next?
