Bernie has pushed for rent controls, what are your thoughts?

I am against rent controls, and so are economists. 81% of economists say that rent controls failed to provide cheap and high quality housing in New York and San Francisco, while only 2 percent of economists said otherwise.

Moreover, several studies are against rent controls...

“a ceiling on rents reduces the quantity and quality of housing available.”

"The abolition of the rent control regime, can not only shift the equilibrium out of this inferior outcome, but can also result in an across-the-board lowering of rents."

 I want to see what others have to say.
