98. You're welcome to disagree with 93% of economists.

And of course just because Paul Krugman won the Nobel, and you didn't, doesn't necessarily mean that he is right and you are wrong.

But leaving aside the debate among economists (or should I say the almost unanimous agreement among economists) I find it interesting how many DUers upthread praise Chicago, a city with no rent control, as being affordable and welcoming to newcomers, while NYC is not. If rent control is so essential, I wonder what is going on here.
