I would be cautious about using San Francisco about an example where things could be improved by repealing rent control. The tl;dr of this article is this line - it increased supply: > But after the repeal, Buenos Aires saw a doubling of available rental units, and rental prices have stabilized. That would not happen in SF. One issue is rent control. Another, separate, issue is housing/rental supply. Getting apartments built in SF is notoriously difficult. It's not realistic to think you can double the supply of available rental units here imho. That is a political ask that people have been trying to do for ages, and which other people, homeowners, have been successfully blocking for the same amount of time. While there's an ongoing effort to push against that, I would expect the blocking to continue, successfully as it has been until now.
