It also takes a tenant out of the market. So the net effect on other renters is pretty slim.

In Chicago, a lot of multi-units (2+ flats) are converted to single large SFH, so the net effect could be worse especially if prices were to go down that it would be attainable to do that.

Interesting! I wonder about the economics of that?
Do they just knock down a wall in the middle? Or is there any new construction involved? (Usually the developer wants to go for higher intensity to sell more units per land.)
