TNHIW.

Rents are lower because of regulation. Supply is kept down by regulation.

Also, that is only a fully sound economic argument if all rents are regulated. But rents on new construction are not regulated at all. So you can't actually demonstrate that rent regulation is reducing supply.

I would say that NYC's excessive regulation of new construction (zoning, Buildings Department rules, etc.), not related to rents, is reducing supply.
