Babson Analyzes Rent Decontrol and Market Effects
Roger W Babson argues that rent decontrol will not trigger a surge in prices. He notes a long term shortage of rental units since 1940, rising ownership, and limited new rental starts. If controls lift, city rents may rise modestly while suburban ownership and rentals could absorb demand, potentially easing city rents.
