Rent Control: “Unfortunately, the anger over high housing prices has also raised the possibility that Massachusetts voters will approve a different ballot proposal this fall that would be counterproductive: statewide rent control. It might sound like a solution, but it would discourage construction and renovations… The national pattern is clear. The way to bring down housing costs is to increase housing supply.” (New York Times Editorial Board).
Housing: “Despite persistent fears of another housing collapse, economists say a full-scale U.S. housing market crash remains unlikely in 2026. Instead, they expect a slower and more frustrating reality: buyers sidelined by affordability challenges, homeowners reluctant to sell, and a market stuck in a prolonged stalemate.” (msn.)
