> You're saying that a belief that has near total consensus among the experts is "simply false"
Yes, or at least aren't approaching the problem as others are, namely, what the actual effect of their theories would be in practice. We've seen multiple times how much higher rents get with market rents, and how the common man will be kicked out of their homes. Not sure why you keep denying it when the facts are there.
> Because economics is a difficult subject to understand
So yes, you really think people are too stupid to understand that they will actually benefit. Shameless.
> YES! They're renters.
That's putting profits over people and just plainly unethical and is precisely the kind of outcome that justifies rent controls.
> We also need to be giving investors the incentive to invest in new housing
No, we don't. The state can build housing according to need, like other infrastructure. That way, we don't need to kick out the poor folks from their homes. It's already been done in the past, and is being done in for example Wien, Austria.
> This is basic economics.
It's basic and shallow alright. The world isn't some sandbox for trying naive free market models. It's more complicated than that.
