Its still difficult to understand, even if one is under rent control, it is still beneficial to push for more housing units. Additionally, single family homes do not fall under rent control in Alameda County, where nearly half of the housing units are rentals.

Problem is that if there's more development, you may end up being forced out of your rent-controlled place to make way for a bigger building.

How is it beneficial? It removes the vast majority of the benefit at the very least
