>False. OP (me) was implying that it didnt meaningfully restrict supply.

The OP said "fastest period of homebuilding" with fastest being in italics. I don't see how that can be read as anything except saying rent control increases supply.

No. Absolutely not. It simply throws a huge amount of doubt on the prevailing narrative that it severely restricts supply.

One could make the argument that it helped increase supply but that wasnt my intention.
