Hi yall, thanks for doing this! I'm a co-founder at House Numbers and follow Nicole on Twitter (really appreciate her unbiased & evidence-based reporting!). These Qs are all of you...
What's your take on rent control, specifically its effectiveness and impact as a long-term solution to housing affordability?
Also, I am (we are) passionate about homeownership among the US middle class. Recently, there's been a ton of press about how it's under threat (investment banks, iBuyers, general affordability issues). How do you perceive this threat? (is it real?, is it overblown?, etc). I've seen some reports that show homeownership is historically stable but I'm curious your thoughts!
Thank you in advance!
