Rent Caps Part Two - President Biden recently announced a 5% cap on apartment rents, though there was some confusion as he struggled to read '5%' on the teleprompter, accidentally suggesting a $55 cap. This raises questions about the effectiveness of rent caps in addressing America's housing crisis. What implications will this have for future development? Do rent caps have a successful track record, such as in New York? It's worth pondering why, if the President views rent caps as a definitive solution to soaring housing costs, why he did not implement this measure back in 2021 when the average rent was around $1,150 per month, in contrast to the current average of approximately $1,411 per month. The timing of this policy, introduced less than four months before the Election after three and a half years of inflation, is also noteworthy.
