What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A local ordinance is being discussed in New Haven that would generally restrict short-term rentals to units occupied by homeowners. James Thorson, an economics professor, noted that the nationwide apartment vacancy rate is only about 3.5%. He explained that this low vacancy rate makes landlords reluctant to offer deals, which impacts people struggling to find housing, including recent college graduates and lower-wage workers.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The proposed restrictions seek to encourage corporations to offer more long-term leases in a difficult housing market. Thorson stated that the low vacancy rate prevents landlords from offering favorable terms, which affects those entering the workforce or earning lower wages.
