Huh, I didn't except to agree with you nearly 100% on this, but I do! These are all very legitimate concerns. But at the heart of all this is still the supply problem, the lack of housing. I also agree that blaming this on rent control is wrong. But the real problem is enacting rent control, then saying "that's enough, problem solved." Because at the core there is still the shortage problem, which makes al the other problems worse. Has rent control "worked"? Both yea and no. It has worked at what it is meant to do, which is great. But it hasn't solved housing, as too many proponents say it will. Similarly, more housing alone won't solve everything, but it makes all these other problems much easier.
