Please join the Manhattan Institute and Reason for a co-hosted screening of the new mini documentary "The Socialist Housing Plan for New York." Following the screening, Reason Editor at Large Nick Gillespie will host a panel discussion with producer Justin Zuckerman, Manhattan Institute Director of Cities John Ketcham, and American Enterprise Institute’s Howard Husock.

The film features profiles of tenants, landlords, a private investigator, and the Harvard economist Edward Glaeser. New York’s housing debate too often skips the people living it. This short documentary blends human stories with hard numbers to explore how rent control shapes neighborhoods, incentives, and opportunity.
