It's not that they couldn't make any profit by building in rent-controlled areas, but why would you allocate the capital for construction to a rent-controlled area when you could take it to a city without rent control?

Why would anyone build anything anywhere in California, when they could take it to a "business-friendly" state instead?

The answer is the three things that matter in real estate: location, location, and location.

Business-unfriendly just translates to higher costs and higher prices.
