I’d say even the present form of rent control needs reform. People should be means tested every so often so that you don’t end up with situations like where the burning man self described founder, mr. Harvey, who had money kept his rent controlled apt till the end.

This would create disincentives for seeking a higher salary (because an increase in salary might be offset by getting kicked out of your BMR unit).

That’s okay, if people wanna shoot themselves in the foot and undermine their own career development, so be it, but often enough you have people who can afford market rate housing living in rent controlled properties, more or less undercutting the programme itself.
