the problem with rent control is that it encourages slumlording. unless it's temporary and combined with construction projects it's a losing strategy. the rich benefit from everything. if the number of new units is small enough, then yes, the poor will see no benefit. but rent is pretty much a matter of supply and demand crossed with unit quality, and you're never going to decrease demand in a city center, but you can build low-cost units.
