No rent control, surge of airbnbs/short term rentals, corporate ownership of housing stemming from all those stolen PPP loans…

Not even a little. It years of bad policy (Act 250), years of NIMBYism and then rapid gentrification since 2020.

Rent control dis incentivizes real estate development and leads to housing shortages. The focus should be on increasing taxes on second homes that are single family dwellings. This would help inventories for primary residents, but not disincentivizes investment in multifamily projects.
