Sure, you can screw up anything, and I certainly wasn't saying "everything should be rent-controlled". Just kinda irks me when someone comes in with the Econ 101 argument regarding a policy that's being implemented by people with advanced degrees in city planning. These people took Econ 101, and know more about the subject than you or I. They could still be wrong, of course, but it's not for a silly simplistic reason like that.
