    Don’t we also need some regulation that prevents landlords from buying any new housing capacity that is created?

      IMO there should be no landlords, housing can be rented from the government or purchased outright. Private landlords do it for profit, but government housing can be nice and affordable because the goal doesn’t have to be profit, and the rent it does extract funds building new housing and maintenance.
