San Francisco is a city with an exploding economy that sits on a fault line and is geographically constrained by mountains and the ocean. If that wasn't bad enough, it's also got quite a bit of NIMBYism among its residents who want it to retain its "quaint" character. Tell me that doesn't explain basically all of it...? Rent control seems like a minor factor. I can see ways it might contribute, but if SF had plenty of land and no earthquakes I'm sure things would not be so bad.
