Should rent control exist?

I understand that rent control is in place to keep the landlords from jacking up the rent, you don’t have to tell me. But what happens when the tenant can afford rent but nothing else in the neighborhood? I’d say at least 10% of the people in my neighborhood are sitting on rent controlled apartments. They haven’t lived anywhere else in a long time and now can’t afford to do anything where they live. I feel there needs to be a limit on how long you can stay in a rent controlled apartment. The city isn’t doing them any favors, get them out of here.
