No way! The same people who demand rent controls, then turn around and demand that no new housing is built in their area. Then they moan about low salaries, because Google's and Amazon's aren't bringing in the high paying talent to their cities. People like that are architects of their own demise. Out of personal experience - rent control, development ban and anti-gentrification advocates are xenophobes that just hate the world changing around them. I've been on the receiving end of these policies, as I moved around EU from Lithuania. These people just hate anyone messing with their vibe.
