The probability of an average person being able to afford to live in a home in a "nice area" is much higher in Sweden and other countries with rent control than in countries without. There is no shortage of homes, there is a shortage of homes that people can afford.

Hardly anyone can get rent control apartments though. The system has failed.

      Millions of people live in those homes. That there are more people than apartments available in the most desirable areas is not a system failure.
