Wow this law is so ridiculous, it basically applies to most the stock.

I don't think most people enjoy this benefit of rent control, it wouldn't make sense to rent out properties. I wonder what is the effective rent control rate (that which has affected price significantly). Maybe a rental turnover rate would hint at a solution.

People that don't have (effective) rent control do not feel the way you do.

Congratulations, you've got a new kind of arbitrarily allocated ownership.
