I agree, except that housing right now isn’t a free market precisely because of zoning rules that artificially limit what can be built and where. Until existing land owners lose the right to rig the market, markets should be rigged in favour of tenants who have less power.
Where it’s easy to build new housing supply I’m in favour of looser rent control or removing rent control because it’ll be redundant.
