Rent control isn’t working in Sweden
>Only around 8% of Swedes live in households spending more than 40% of disposable income on housing, compared to 15% in the UK and almost 40% in Greece, according Eurostat data.I wonder what metric they use for "not working".It's not like a lack of rent control is creating vast new supplies of housing here in London and as far as Im aware the fastest period of homebuilding in NYC was in the 50-60s when rent control was at its strictest (https://cbcny.org/sites/default/files/media/image-caption/Ho... ).
