Support for an end to rent controls is growing among government officials who say that apartments aren't being built because developers no longer find it profitable enough. Critics of this line of thinking agree that apartment construction isn't keeping up with demand, but argue that rent controls are not the cause. They point to similar apartment shortages in cities without rent controls, and note that the construction slowdown began before the controls were introduced.
