I strongly urge you to make a study of the fucked-up residential construction situation in SF and the SFBA before making any claims about the effects of Rent Control/Stabilization on housing prices in the area. :)

But, reasonable people see that starvation is an insignificant factor in the man's demise, so -if they bring it up at all- they bring it up only in passing. :)
