It would only be an economic crisis for land owners who seek rent. Really housing shouldn’t be something that people profit from.

It would be a crisis for renters. Land owners by definition already have a place to stay, but the second you implement price controls you're going to see the rental market go into convulsions. The correct solution is to Just Tax Land.

The correct solution is ~~to Just Tax Land~~ socialized housing.

There you go

Yep, this is already a solved problem.

About 60% of the people in Vienna live in public housing and its one of the best places in the world to live.

Tons of people in this thread are running around coming up with Rube Goldberg schemes of incentive structures and legal frameworks when the problem is really not that complicated.
