The results were not what I expected, definitely worth a watch. (From the youtube channel Oh The Urbanity)

One year is one lease renewal for renters. How can you possibly draw conclusions this early!? And if you are, how could you not include "landlords are also greedy real-estate investors" in your conclusion? You haven't banned them!

Thats an important factor too but I think they did touch on that. However it's just more complicated than getting rid of landlords, providing government run rentals is one way they suggest helping in that regard.

But you're totally right, I think a longer term study is needed for sure.
