you kind of force people to enter into rent because they can’t afford houses and you control the rent however you want.
The landlords are providing a service to those who can’t afford houses, and the tenants, through economic calculation, determine that it’s better to pay for a department rather that saving for a house.
In fact, deficit spending, printing fiat money and manipulating interest rates harm savings and relative prices.
“If there seems to be a shortage of supply to meet an evident demand, then look to government as the cause of the problem.”
I’d prefer the term statism, but I agree with you.
