Will this actually lower Canton rents?

Whether a specific policy lowers rents in Canton depends on factors this site does not have verified data on, including how much new supply it actually produces and how quickly, so stating a rent outcome here would be a guess dressed up as fact. Economic research on similar rent-related policies elsewhere shows mixed results depending on local supply constraints and how the policy is structured. Watching actual Canton rental listings over time is more reliable than a prediction. Joel Boss can tell you what current Canton rental and sale inventory actually looks like.
