Today at 12:30, SPUR is hosting a panel talk on employment trends and the housing market. I highly suspect its part of their nuanced push to move public opinion against rent control. With all kind of reasonable and wonky garb cloaking it. Worth checking out and keeping your eye on em. One panelist, Enrico Moretti, put out just such an argument a few months back in the Chronicle. They have never, not once, ever, produced a shred of evidence backing their ideological claim that rent control is spurring high rents via restricted supply. No evidence at all, just supply-side theory to evade the real issue of real estate profits and greed. spur.org/events/calendar/understanding-bay-area-housing-market
