@PippengerHarlo I think that when you build new housing, older housing stock becomes more affordable to low-income people, because higher income people stop bidding it up. I think this because both common sense and multiple economic studies strongly suggest it is true. — PolitiTweet.org

Libertarians do not claim that more free market housing will "bring us closer to housing as a human right," just that sufficient supply increases will make housing cheaper for everyone, a vast improvement on the status quo. — PolitiTweet.org

@conor64 the libertarian and logic free part is that more profit driven housing will bring us closer to housing as a human right.

@PippengerHarlo You write that as if we have kept increasing the housing supply by 10 percent and observing a mere 1 percent decline in rent reductions, but we have not done that! Do you really think that if L.A. increased its housing supply by 50 percent, rents would fall by just 5 percent? — PolitiTweet.org
