Landlords in SF hate rent control. The allowable increases don’t even cover inflation as far as I can tell. Any place where landlords will pay tenants $$$$$ to move out (at best) or burn their place down and keep it empty until they can rebuild as condos (at worst) is not a place where they like rent control. I benefit from rent control but it also locks me into an apartment. I’d love to move but it would cost 2-3x to get something equivalent which is market rate, let alone actually get a better place. We really need to build more housing and decent infrastructure like other world class cities.
