> Housing is not a right in the US

Price-fixing is not a right in the US. It's explicitly illegal.

We as citizens should be strongly opposed to anything that makes housing more expensive because it contributes to homelessness, which is much more expensive than just forcing landlords to actually compete with each other (you know, like the free market is supposed to).

The biggest threat to a competitive market isn't the government in the US. It's the accumulation of power by a small number of actors who control the majority of the supply side.
