Hopefully, some of the laws change.

It seems to be hard for the government to anticipate how their changes will end up affecting the free market economy.
Limiting rent increases, making it hard to get rid of bad tenants, reducing tenant-screening tools, and making every law pro-tenant sounds nice, but it discourages landlords from buying properties in this very expensive area and renting them out. When landlords are discouraged, there is less rental housing, and renting becomes very expensive.
