There is no evidence that reducing rent makes the rent go up - only fearmongering. It's a stopgap measure, though, since there still won't be enough housing to meet demand unless you also fix that at the same time.

Which you can also do as a city by just... building! You don't need some developer to come in, you can just do that as a local government!
The City of Vienna is the largest landlord in Europe. It is also the only capital in Europe without a stifling rent or housing crisis.
There is lots of evidence for that, but before I provide it I need to know if you will update your beliefs based on that.
Really? You have evidence that smaller numbers are bigger numbers?
Don't argue in bad faith. I have evidence that rent controls increase rent, not that smaller numbers are bigger numbers. Please read some evidence about policies you are supporting - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S105113772...
