Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Rent Control is a policy that still bedevils modern society. Tucker (1990) goes so far as to lay the blame for homelessness almost entirely on this policy. British Columbia is the only jurisdiction in the entire world in the last 30 years which has eliminated its rent control. It has done so, moreover, without suffering any deleterious effects. Because of its unhappy previous experiences with rent control, this enactment has long been viewed unfavorably by the majority of the citizenry of British Columbia.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
