Question: If the goal is to increase supply and lower rent in the long run, would you consider social housing, that is the state build housing in large numbers specifically to rent them?
For me this seems like a more straightforward way and likelier to succeed in its intention without unforeseen consequences, as opposed to landlord subsidies.

NIMBYism is the biggest obstacle here anyway and it’s largely being pushed by the government which also concerns me. In the end as long as more housing I being built I’ll be happy
