Then let’s just price control everything, why stop at rent?

If you can’t see how rent gouging is a problem, then I’m not sure how to possibly convey my feeling on the matter to you.

Landlords are parasitic even if the price they can charge has a ceiling. The problem is that price they can charge is what motives construction in the first place

People build houses for more reasons than just renting them out.

Roughly 38% of new housing units built last year were rentals. National rent control would cause a massive housing shortage, not just through a reduction in construction but through current rental properties being taken off the market. If rent is capped at $500/month but you can’t find an apartment to rent, that cap won’t help you.
