It can be, just not the way it's usually attempted.

Loosen up zoning restrictions, legalize basement apartments, back off on occupancy limits, tell NIMBYs to fuck off, resurrect the idea of flophouses, and maybe even build the equivalent of "council flats". That will accomplish vastly more than rent controls and set-asides.
Rent control is very good for the tenant but then you get scofields who make six figures and nest in $700 apts
