&gt; I&#x27;m certainly not saying that a &quot;no rent control&quot; situation would be ideal, but I&#x27;m wondering if it&#x27;s just made the rent situation in SF much worse than it would have been otherwise.<p>I feel that a good proxy for a world without rent stabilization is the condo market. Figure out how much the monthly payment for the low-end and the average condo is, and I suspect that that&#x27;s where a city full of unstablized rental units would be.
