Corporate entities are an obvious scapegoat, that we should definitely preclude from SFH (and MFH) ownership, and I'm sure that bill would be really popular among the electorate. In most locales, from what I've seen, it's the retirement/dynastic wealth folks who are squeezing supply – they've been in this game for 30+ years and have a big head start on the PE firms. Crafting a bill with popular support that targets those folks is going to be a bit more challenging, because these people are not all terribly extractive, and a lot of up and coming people still actively aspire to become those people. In my observation, the younger and less gainfully employed / marketably skilled these people are, the more extractive they are. As such, I think it's a matter of time before we hit a breaking point. There's precedent for this in American history, where we've had dramatic step-changes to property law in response to varying-degrees-of-obvious injustice. I don't know if my generation will develop the political will to enact it, but it does feel inevitable that it'll happen in the next 80 years. It's either that, or we've become an effectively-feudal and urban society – which feels less likely, to me.
