If rent control is implemented, landlords will not rent their homes, causing shortage of homes to be rented, causing rent prices to soar due to more demand and less supply. Landlords don't want to be told how to rent their homes. Be careful what you wish for. Anytime the government intervenes, things turn to crap.

Rent control creates slums. I had to leave SF when rents went up too high. Why should I subsidize people when I can barely pay the mortgage?

rent control would cause the price of housing to go up, the supply of housing to stop growing, and would increase the cost of everything else in the area. Economists have known this for decades. The solution is more housing being built to increase supply.
