Was an honor to speak to Marketplace on NPR this morning about my piece on AI-driven arts job loss & what it means for creative industries. Give it a listen! www.marketplace.org/episode/2026...

I interpreted this thread as modern rent controls have less “bite” (CPI vs 1-2% like SF means rent control is closer to market) and less “coverage” (newer units are exempt). Thus, they are less harmful because they are less impactful (bite and coverage both closer to 0 than NYC/SF)

Really good stuff! My takeaway from this (interestingly) is that what makes “modern” rent controls less damaging is that they mostly don’t control the rent: they don’t apply to new buildings and they’re capped at something like the CPI which is what happens in most markets anyway
