    hotels are either same price OR less expensive

    I don’t think that really contradicts what they said though. It doesn’t matter which is more expensive, they both exist within the same market and removing supply will make what remains more expensive.

      Then the change is working as intended - residential buildings should never have been pulled from the rental market to compete with hotels.
