All true, yet here in Mountain View where I live, a rent-control ordinance was just passed. This might have been averted by promotion of an ADU housing supply and concomitant reduction of rent increase pressure, by mediation of a more-or-less open market. Instead, Mountain View will have occult "markets", dealing in favors and claims of personal need. One should always choose the lesser of two weevils.
