Almost everyone I’ve met in opposition to rent control is a landlord themselves. Purely anecdotal, but it’s been bulletproof so far. It’s true, rent control is terrible for landlords, but it doesn’t stop housing development. If anything, it encourages it — there’s no other way someone can make a sizable amount of money off of a new property.
