And it's next to impossible to move to the rent controlled side of Berlin. The reality of rent control is it's a handout for the people who already live there at the expense of those that wish to move there.

I don't see how that is particularly legitimate argument against rent control as that is how the housing market works in general. The difference is that if you buy an apartment you also get appreciation.
