Saw this post on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/reel/DAjCAJYusg6/?igsh=djRsOGh3ZzhyY2Zr ) which claims that the removal of rent control in Buenos Aires led to an increase in available housing and a decrease in housing prices which seems counter-intuitive to me.
Is the increase in availability due to landlords raising the rent and forcing existing renters out ( thus more availability)? But how then are the prices of these places somehow lower?
What am I missing?
