A study published in 2001 showed that more than one-fourth of the occupants of rent-controlled apartments in San Francisco had household incomes of more than $100,000 a year. Adding to the confusion is inconsistent enforcement. First, actually measuring and assessing the costs and benefits of regulation is exceptionally challenging.

Moreover, the use of that fear has formed the basis for a rallying cry of those largest American entities: corporations.
