I agree that is a good goal. But the most robust realization of goal is less homeownership, and boxing in landowners. Looks like Switzerland is doing a good job of the former. The rent control is more important to make renting lower risk (avoiding rent increase risk and building land wealth are two different goals of homeownership, the first is much more laudable). Curtailing rental incoming is similar to an LVT, except it doesn't have the incentives for densification. Europe could probably use a bit more of the latter so there is less immigration vs cheap housing going on.
