It's insane that Zohran Kwame Mamdani is anywhere near the lead in the New York mayoral Democratic primary. The guy is a full-blown communist, and it shows.

This is how housing dries up.
Imbecile

You're too kind.
This is a children's book I wrote on housing economics.

This is the chapter that discusses why rent control ruins housing: https://t.co/8V5WuLLkTb
You may enjoy it.
Maybe that'll get it through his thick skull.
Don't expect landlords to fix or repair rental units if you freeze rent. Owners are not going to eat the increased expenses.

Everyone will live in run-down slums.
Which is also on-brand for commies.
Yeah.

Let's ask Venezuela how that went.
It didn't go well.
Wait, so you're just going to let grocers keep raising prices? And what about school tuition?

Day care?
Freeze those too!
Freeze it all!
He's going to open government-run bodegas. Where food will be unavailable, rationed, or spoiled.

He doesn't understand the concept of supply and demand.
You are an economic illiterate.

They sure do.
This is the single worst policy possible.

One of the few things you can get almost all economists to agree upon (which is a bit like getting a room full of cats to all pay attention and sit still) is that rent control is a terrible policy that harms renters and cities!
Zohran… https://t.co/PykJPxEAs4
And he'll impose it if he wins.
Do not let him win.
So by the time you’re 80 do you just watch 8 cycles of people trying the same insane economic policy, see it not working, and see people trying again? https://t.co/0qeNDseL56
