    it’s only really a cartel if they get together and make these plans, in reality none of these landlords are stupid, they will just adjust their demands to the upper region of what people feel acceptable, this slowly moves the “acceptability window” up, all without anyone needing to conspire with anyone else

      Right, so this is market pricing at work. In order to fix this problem, we need to relax the suppression of new construction.

      Even if we don’t, however, if rents increase it will increase construction of new housing.
