So, instead of an algorithm that purely benefits landlords, you just want the opposite algorithm that purely benefits tenets?
In either case we're throwing the whole pricing part of the market away while still pretending we're engaged in capitalism. Unless you dedicate huge amount of resources to the problem you will likely harm more people than you help.
You could compete with the market through publicly owned housing that people of low income can apply for.
You could upset the market by vastly overhauling zoning laws to make them more open and less bureaucratic.
You could increase access to the market by introducing property tax brackets that are based on total property ownership in a county.
You could increase access to housing options by drastically improving high speed transport to new areas that are currently underdeveloped.
If people are being priced out of the market it's because not enough options exist, which in NYC and SFO is a real physical issue, but in most other places it seems like an entirely artificial issue.
