In the coming months I’ll be publishing more (with @drdonalbrown.bsky.social and Madeleine Pauker) on the detailed design of rent controls – and how they have an essential role to play in tackling the poor quality & energy inefficient nature of PRS homes. Do get in touch if this is of interest!

Well, I for one am an economist who supports rent controls! Here’s why 🧵: Markets only work well if: -buyers & sellers have roughly equal power -producers respond to price signals & expand supply in response to scarcity -buyers can walk away if prices get too high
