Every single report to shareholders from a large REIT includes something about how it's great that market-rate multifamily housing isn't getting built in high-cost coastal cities because the shortage is what allows them to rent gouge.
New housing stops landlords from raising rents—take it from the CEO of AvalonBay, one of NYC's largest landlords:
"We're well-positioned… we face significantly less new supply. Land entitled for multifamily is hard to come by, the amount of time it takes to get those entitlements… sets us up well.”

the only time i was in key west, we went on a ghost tour, and midway through the tour our guide got confronted on the street by a dude he owed money to. there was a lot of hushed "please don't do this right now i'm at work" type conversation going on. the rest of the tour felt different
