What happens when the market is prevented from increasing supply by property owners collectively setting rules that prevent sufficient further growth?

I’m not saying this happened in California, but it’s what I think happened in the UK, where I am a landlord.

In the California case it did happen but the "landlords" are owners of single family homes. Here's a typical example: https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-california-sb50-f...
I agree, that's a problem. I would hope that most landlords are good actors, though. (heh)
