Chris explains why rent freezes and rent control policies often produce the opposite of their intended effect. Using New York City's latest rent freeze as an example, he argues that when landlords can't cover rising costs, they reduce investment, pull units off the market, or stop maintaining properties altogether. Chris also highlights the staggering costs of public housing and makes the case that government intervention—not market forces—is driving housing shortages and affordability problems.
