Please sit down and talk with somebody like professor Evan Mast. You're embarrassing yourself here. Yes, building more housing lowers the cost of housing. This is, as Senator Warren put it, plain old econ 101.

Disappointing framing on this article. The evidence, both domestically and internationally, is unequivocal that building housing brings down rents. Matthew Desmond himself says that more supply is a necessary part of the solution. That is not mutually exclusive with tenant protections and welfare policies, and framing them in opposition with each other is deeply mistaken and counterproductive.
