租金控制

A growing number of households in the United States are paying more than 30% of their incomes on rent, 以及当地的政策制定者, state 和 even federal level are increasingly pursuing rent control measures as a solution to this growing housing affordability problem. 然而, countless studies over the years have found that rent control is counter-productive as a mechanism for addressing housing affordability problems.

例如，加州大学伯克利分校的经济学家肯·罗森， 在他的2020年NAHB报告中 有关租金管制, points out that “the vast majority of economists agree that artificially controlling apartment rents acts as a price ceiling that reduces the supply of housing over time.” 此外, in an earlier 2018 study for the Fisher Center for Real Estate & 城市经济学, Rosen points out that “rent control is need-blind” 和 “fails to ensure that the benefits of lower rents help those most in need.” He further points out that rent control creates housing scarcity 和 penalizes a large 和 increasing number of would-be renters, as the rental housing supply is suppressed or shrinks. 此外, rent control provides incentives for owners to convert existing rental apartment buildings to condominiums, 和 impedes 和/or provides disincentives for new construction.

Addressing the housing affordability problem is complex 和 will require efforts on many fronts, but ultimately these efforts must involve more production of housing, 而不是更少. 如果住房需求超过供应, 物价上涨, 和 that is what has been happening in many parts of the United States in recent years.

2021十大正规彩票平台重要?

NAHB strongly opposes rent control because it does not address the underlying issues that result in the lack of affordable housing 和 only creates more challenges, including reduced supply of available units 和 reduced income to states 和 municipalities because of slowed or halted development.

Housing affordability to a large degree is a regulatory 和 supply issue, 需要通过以下方式解决:

• Creating more 和 better housing by allowing more high-density housing,
• Reducing regulations 和 lawsuits that slow or stall housing development,
• Encouraging public/private financing 和 partnerships to encourage the development of affordable housing, 和
• Offering direct public subsidies to help those that need it.

Instead of adding more regulations 和 risk via rent control, policy makers should be looking for ways to reduce regulations, 移除障碍, 和 add incentives for developers to produce more housing, 尤其是经济适用房和劳动力住房.
