What would be better is if anyone who wanted to live in the city could afford a reasonably priced dwelling. Rent control inadvertently harms that, turning the city into a two tiered system of the hyper-rich who can afford market rate, and those who serve them, who either have to win the rent control lottery or win the subsidized housing lottery.
