I've been reading and agreeing with your posts until I hit this.
Rent control IS a base expropriation from one to another.
So is zoning. The only purpose of zoning is to take away from me the right to do "X" with my property if I want to do "X", because my doing "X" will harm others ("harm" being a very relative term.) It transfers my excess property value (that I could get by doing "X") to those others.
