I rent.  But conversely, I dont believe the gov&#x27;t should regulate rental prices via rent control.  It&#x27;s a perverse incentive.  If the gov&#x27;t wants cheaper units, build cheaper units themselves.  Virtually confiscating property from owners is not the way.  If I had money to own or build, I certainly would be disincentivized to build if I knew those properties could become rent controlled. I really don&#x27;t understand the reasoning of rent control beyond knee jerk reaction.<p>Now. I live in SF but I don&#x27;t believe it&#x27;s my &quot;right&quot; to live here, so long as there were affordable units within commuting distances.  By affordable I mean enough units at different income levels.  But gov&#x27;t needs to encourage building, not stifle building, which seems they work very hard at.
