Summary
NYC's new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, pushed a 2-year rent freeze — and everyone cheered. But what happens when government just "barks orders" without thinking about economic reality? Tom Woods breaks down the danger of the "military model of society": the assumption that mandating prices is all it takes to fix housing. No supply constraints. No incentive effects. Just a bullhorn. Critics of rent control aren't landlord lackeys. They're asking the question nobody else wants to answer — what could go wrong?
