Good intentions count for nothing. Good intentions that create bad policy that harms people counts for much less than nothing.

You can feel however you want about it, but people will vote for rent control if they start getting squeezed out of their housing. Hate it as an economic policy? Then make sure enough housing gets built before people get squeezed.
