I wouldn't put much stock in that non-profit group that you linked to earlier. They've had some significant corruption issues over the years and have every reason to inflate numbers.

Oh I believe you, same reasons I think that Stockholm number posted by Gava is likely inflated.

And last - I'm certainly not one to dispute there being significant homeless problems in some US cities, including SF (and far worse problems than I've ever seen in western European countries), but it's a totally separate issue from rent control.
