It hasn't been established how zoning led to rent control.It led to perverse incentives, e.g., making apartment buildings harder to build, thus limiting the supply of apartments, thus raising rents, and of the modern-day defenses of rent control along the lines that abolishing rent control in the face of zoning regulations won't lead to the advantages of a free market in which developers, landlords, tenants, and purchasers all do better. That's got nothing to do with the Supreme Court. Sure it does, at least if you view the takings clause as applicable to the states per section one of the fourteenth amendment. Both zoning and rent control were challenged as takings, but the courts upheld both. And even if you don't, most states have a takings clause-like provision in their own constitutions. The Tenth Amendment allows states to assert that at their discretion. See above. |
