It's a fair comment. You entirely brushed aside point 3 by using a personal criticism on the parent poster to ignore the fact that rent control is imposing a cost on an entire massive state, in order to regulate a thing that is an issue in a small number of counties.

Every tenant, regardless of what county they live in, needs basic protections for their home.

This law is not targeted at SF per-se because SF already has strong rental protections, this law offers the bare minimum of protection for everyone in the state. The bay area should, and must, pass stronger protections than this statewide law.
