Surprising the early populist housing policies of rivht-wing dictator Franco were so similar to those of today's left-wing San Francisco government: rent control, eviction restriction, etc. And the results were pretty much the same: housing shortages, differed maintanence, etc. I guess they both overestimate their ability to improve the situation. I wonder if SF will eventually learn and change it's ways like Spain. The recent fairly reasonable AirBnB regulation gives me some hope while the completely insane proposed 24% transfer tax (Prop G) make me think it is hopeless.
