The issue that's developed wit rent controls is that once you get a "stabilized" place, you never leave.
There's a huge shortage of affordable units in NYC because barely any more are being made (a tiny handful of set-asides in luxury buildings), and nobody's moving out of the ones that do exist (after living there several decades, and paying rents from several decades ago).

If the court takes this on, I expect a Boise-type ruling that pisses off everyone: Either rent-control would have to be universal in a jursidiction, or not at all.

Your issue that people have an affordable place for "too long" is a bad thing. Is right to housing not part of your world view? Should they be kicked out on the streets because someone else has more money to spend than them?
