Rent Control Creates Higher Rents in SF
I've witnessed a couple in a SF 1 bedroom rent controlled apartment (of many years) fret over when to have a child. A 2 bedroom at market rate is a non-trivial change. It certainly feels like a trap to them.

Isn't the expensive rent for the 2-bedroom the actual trap that prevents them from moving?

A trap they only have the opportunity to be in because they weren't forced out many years ago by increasing rents.
