Rent Control?
Nope, they're pointing at gentrification and greed via the following statement: "...many New York City multi-family buildings have undergone conversions. More than 100,000 units have been absorbed into others, creating larger luxury apartments. This practice leads to more comfort and space for those expanding. However, fewer apartments are available for the hungry housing market."

Sounds like another woe to hang around the necks of people who decide to move in and improve the properties, while also spending more. That evil Gentrification rears it's head.
