Wow that graph would be impressive if it wasn’t also showing the fact rent climbs an astronomical degree every single year even before the pandemic

With nothing but a policy change Austin rents have dropped 7.5% each year, they're now below pre pandemic levels. Unlike your fantasy that you have no way of accomplishing

It's 2025, they dropped even more from the 2024 price. Anyway you've dodged the question, how are you getting the power to implement your dream?

So they again dropped to a price that was already ludicrously prohibitively expensive? Wow! Also I plan on getting people like Fateh elected so rent control spreads nation wide and forces the building of government housing

Many places have rent control. How much government housing have those places built after enacting it?

Their "response" is to avoid the question and basically go "I know you are but what am I", which is telling

many places have your preferred laissez faire policies, rent is still unaffordable

You are way too unpleasant a person to be this clueless on a topic
