If the rent pricing exceeds the production or maintenance cost of the apartments by too high a profit margin, then a government or regulated private entity should be formed to build them at a reasonable margin, thus controlling the minimum wage growth. Alternately a large enough ratio of government controlled units within a market could be managed to provide a market weighting to reasonable prices. (you can see that in play in some European cities).
