It's very easy to support a policy that you benefit from. The property owner effectively missing out on 1,500 a month probably feels a little differently. People who have trouble finding affordable housing there, which may be exacerbated by rent control making being a landlord there less profitable and popular, may also feel differently.

I would support a policy that gave people with my surname $1,500 a month - but that doesn't mean it's a good policy.
