To be quite honest, I expect more intellectual honesty from an HN post. This reads, at best, like an opinion piece and most if not all of the controversial “facts” presented are not sourced in any way — not for lack of trying though as the piece does the classic sleight of hand of actually linking plenty of other sources and factual images, hoping that the reader will gloss over the fact that these do nothing to prove the claims made which are mostly pure conjecture.

Yes, this contradicts everything I thought have learned. Without any credible sources I have to assume the whole article is bogus.

I am annoyed he portrays the professionals as idiots that did not see things coming, but I remember professionals making clear that the current inflation is partly 'real' inflation and partly inflation due to post-covid/Russian agression/.. developments. So rent hikes are still justified for that first part of inflation.
