Reply to comment by ManhattanRailfan in Federal court upholds NY rent stabilization laws, setting up possible Supreme Court showdown by ER301

Presumably you have some studies which say rent control doesn't have an impact on new construction?

And an article for slightly easier comprehension.

In fact, the only articles that I could find that claim rent control decreases construction were published by developers and parasites landlords themselves. Not exactly an unbiased source. And basically all of them cite that single Bay Area case study that you did. And case studies aren't good evidence of a trend or causation. Only that something is a possibility.
