Existing apartments would be removed from the market too. $100 per month costs the owner more than keeping the apartment empty, because tenants are a risk.
If people thought that such a law was going to be permanent, or if there were fees for leaving apartments empty, then many (most?) apartments would be permanently destroyed - either converted to something else (condos, commercial space, etc) or just demolished so that the land could be used some other way.
I mean, 0 new apartments would be built

You forgot the outcome that they could be sold. You know, so that a non landlord could own one.
Until someone needs a home and they build it
Where are they living while they save up the several hundred thousand it costs to build one?
You’re right, the first time shelter was built in human history it was a Blackrock apartment complex.
How could i forget.
in which part of the world can people build tents that won’t immediately be torn down or vandalized? You make being part of society sound like hell.
Yes because we would decommodify housing and still commodify land.
Use your big boy brain instead of just the angry part
If you have to go back to before the concept of money was invented, you don’t really have a good point.
I didn’t.
Blackrock was the only corporate entity that had the building rights to the ferile cresent.
If it weren’t for them nobody would have ever had shelter.
God bless Blackrock
