Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that rent control reduces the supply and quality of rental housing in the long run?

Yes. A reference encyclopedia entry reports that economists overwhelmingly agree rent ceilings reduce the quantity and quality of housing available, and a San Francisco quasi-experimental study found landlords cut rental supply by about 15 percent, with lost supply likely raising market rents in the long run. Other textbook and review sources also report declining rental supply under rent control, though they address quality less directly.
