Since they don't get paid till the mortgage is paid off in 30 years or whatever the time period is. If you bought a house at auction for $200k and in 10 years its worth $500k you got rent control for it. You should be paying a bigger mortgage to the bank.

This is a really asinine comment - you are either playing devils advocate, or have no idea how home ownership works.
Typical comment on here of punishing people who make smart investments - why on earth should a home owner be forced to make a bigger payment to a bank. Additionally, homeowners pay property taxes (mine, in the city of Chicago have gone up $15k over the past 12 months), Home owners insurance, etc. You have lost your mind.
