While I don't necessarily disagree with rent controls, portraying this measure as people vs corps is simplistic. As long as the city relies on private investors to build new residences, lower investment also means the PEOPLE who could have lived in Berlin are left out.
(The measure is also typically bourgeois; it throws some crumbs to fix the outcry so the capitalist system can remain in place)
