Make sure you already live in San Francisco and use the government to cap out your rent to the detriment of literally everyone else.

Exactly.

Use the laws supposedly made for poor people, and use them at your advantage (like most of the wealthy do).

Also yell and pretend high and clear that you want to help the poor.

Agreed. I just left my apartment in SF, 1BR/1BA for 1900$, now whomever is gonna take it will rent at 2200$. I think you can outperform buying house by renting for a longterm in the bay area.

Stay 5+ years in your rent controlled apartment.

Have true rent control rather than what SF does.
