rent control dramatically decreases the incentives to build and in many cases makes it impossible (read uneconomic) to do so

Blanket statements like this is the point of many of the above replies, it’s not a true statement with evidence. All rent control does not reduce the number of rentals, “more restrictive rent control”[1] [2] does. These nuances are important in the conversation.
