Elizabeth Warren's wants to keep poor people in apartments

...and out of her neighborhood? The Free Press:

Eric Levitz, a smart writer for Vox (there are a few left!), explains that “Warren is deliberately trying to choke off investment in the construction of new single-family rental properties. This is profoundly regressive. Why is it OK for large investors to build and rent out apartments but not single-family homes?” He adds: “Warren’s policy effectively helps rich people keep working-class renters out of their towns.” Wait, now that’s interesting. When you phrase it like that, Eric, I guess I’m for Elizabeth Warren now. One, two, three, four, what are we fighting for: higher property values in wealthy neighborhoods! Hands off my veranda!

BOTTOM LINE: More investment increases supply which reduces price.
