The idea that landlords would reinvest higher rent into building new property is such a lie. It's like saying that if you lower the rent then the tenants will buy healthier food and educate themselves. If you give somebody money without restrictions they will do with it what they want, not what you want You could argue instead that higher rent is efficiënt because apparently people need housing so badly that they are willing to pay that much for it, so the resource that is the appartment must be more efficient in their hands (like maybe there are some local companies that desperately want to hire specialists bit there's no housing for the specialists, so there are missed chances for the companies to generate wealth) But an economy also functions better if people keep their promises. Imagine buying water at an oasis in the middle of a desert for $10 , renting the bottle . Then you set out on a journey to the next oasis. But halfway on your journey you are informed that the rent on the bottle is now $1.000 because demand has increased (i.e. you won't make it to the next oasis without it). That's not a functioning economy. So if the government walks back their promise to do rent control, that hurts the economy
If the government decides the housing market needs more mobility and higher rent in some cases, then they should help landlords buy out tenants in an orderly fashion, rather than allowing bogus renovictions
Recently, new housing construction has actually being going *down* due to builders doing the math and concluding that they can't make a profit with the current market rents/constructions costs. The argument that higher rents could lead to more building is based on builders just running the numbers and asking whether they can make a profit or not at current financing rates etc. Buying out existing building to 'improve' them is really just a wasteful activity that makes it *look* like we're solving the problem when we're not.

Have a nice week Rob!

FYI what you will find with X11 / Wayland is that anything proprietary on Linux that uses screensharing won't work if you are using wayland.
Interesting. Hopefully, the 'x11' mode in Ubuntu 24 will continue to work well, and then maybe wayland will finally be good to go in 26.

That's good to know, I was wondering why it didn't work
