Actually, New York replaces its housing stock a lot faster than many other places do. Try visiting Philadelphia or Kansas City.I don't know what the numbers are for those cities, but New York has less housing stock today than it did 50 years ago, and in the early part of this decade, the housing stock was actually shrinking. Please show proof of this, this is contrary to what seems to be going on. Yes, rents in New York are high - because the populsatuon is increasing and thee is huge demand. That's why New York is rezoning some areas to increase density. Rents were high in this city when the population was shrinking, so your cause and effect is invalid. It was not until the introduction of rent control after WWII that rents ceased to drop proportionally with economic downturns Please show proof of this too. Current proof. I have seen studies that show that rent control, or more currently, rent stabilization actually do the opposite effect. |
