ID: A Sophie Labelle 4 panel comic featuring Stephie in different poses, saying:

Landlords do not provide housing.

They buy and Hold more space than they need for themselves.

Then, they create a false scarcity and profit off of it.

What they’re doing is literally the opposite of providing housing.

    Landlords do not create the false scarcity.

    Government does, by constantly suppressing new construction.

    Government does this via:

    • Density zoning, which caps the number of units in places the market would support much more
    • Making construction investment uncertain, by slowing permitting processes to a crawl
