Eh, people really need to be questioning econ 101 more often.

It's built upon untrue assumptions

- infinite buyers / sellers

- perfect information

- no switching / transaction costs

The article itself has 3 different year ranges provided so I'm not sure how you can use it as evidence. Plus overall the rent is still up by a lot since 93% - 4% is still at least 80%.

- Rents increase by 93% from 2010 to 2019

- Housing increase from 2015 to 2024 (this overlaps with when rents increased ...)

- Rents fell from 2021 to 2026 by 4%
