Hasn’t been my experience, and in this thread the vast majority of comments seem more interested in raging against landlords with no mention of the zoning laws and NIMBYism that have put those landlords in such an advantageous position in the first place.

As expected everyone here ignores the historically low vacancy rates mentioned, and will propose literally any solution except building more housing. Because supply and demand is a capitalist conspiracy or something.

Editing to add an article that backs up my snark in a much more thought-out way: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/04/yimbys-housing-crisis-austin-public-developers.html

Both of those people are dead lmao
