Of course Slate would write an article like this.

The site was always liberal, but it used to represent a sort of rational leftism. In recent years it's churned out increasingly deranged and self-parodying social justice warrior-esque articles, to the point where Marx himself would call them a bunch of dirty commies.

Check before you comment. The writer is a conservative; his other recent articles include a description of a tea-party utopia ("Teatopia"), an argument that the US should never have pulled out of Iraq, and a critique of NYC making it easier to get welfare. Furthermore, the article is just proposing a market-based solution to high rents: increase supply.

Of course we had a liberal bashing rant posted since the article didn't criticize Obama, say global warming is wrong, or plead for Sarah Palin to run for Senate. Geez...
