Rent Control Doesn’t Work! So Why Do We Keep Doing It?

Rent control is often sold as a solution to rising housing costs but the reality is more complicated.

In this video, we break down why rent control doesn’t work the way people expect, how it impacts renters and landlords, and why cities keep turning to it despite decades of evidence. From reduced housing supply to unintended consequences that actually raise rents, we take a clear, practical look at what’s really happening.

Whether you’re a renter, a landlord, or just trying to understand the housing crisis, this is a conversation worth having.
