It’s a shame that even in a place like San Francisco, it’s apparently impossible to enact rent control.

It wasn't until very recently that SF became synonymous with progressive politics like it is today. For most of the 20th century, it was a highly conservative, "rich people," city. That kind of embedded wealth doesn't just go away within a few decades, SF is still pretty conservative at its core.
