Capped rent is serfdom. We cannot move anymore without increasing rent.
All your points, that’s capitalist fearmongering to flood the market with workers.
The way to increase wages is to limit available workers. That’s how markets work.
The capitalists need the workers so the value of work will rise to cover all expenses. Society will not collapse or smaller countries would have collapsed by now.
Capped rent is serfdom. We cannot move anymore without increasing rent.
Rent to private landlords is exploitation anyways. Anything beyond necessities (utilities, maintenance budget etc.) is just someone else getting rich off of your labour.
Capped rent trapping you in a specific place is just the cherry on top. But I agree with you: Rent caps aren’t the solution to that problem.

No, they’re an attempt to point out the actual problem, namely: the capitalists and their greed.
If more workers in wealthier countries was good for the capitalists, they wouldn’t be throwing their support behind conservative, xenophobic candidates so enthusiastically.
On the contrary: They want those workers to remain in cheaper countries, because they can pay them less there.
Drawing a line between us and the other workers won’t tackle that issue. The “fuck you, I got mine” mentality is the reason we’re in this shit. Solidarity and the will to systematic change is the way out.

The workers are available anyways. They’re just available elsewhere.
Besides, the supply-demand dynamic doesn’t hold in shortages of critical goods, for example a shortage of doctors and nurses. At some point, no amount of payment is going to get you treatment if there aren’t enough people to treat you.
We already see the public healthcare system struggling in Germany: Between a shortage of doctors and rising costs of running their office, more and more doctors only accept privately insured patients. If all the ones on mandatory insurance get paid more, the prices for private insurance will just rise as well.
At some point, limiting workers won’t limit the work that needs doing, it will just increase the amount each worker does, until they have nothing more to give.
The capitalists need the workers so the value of work will rise to cover all expenses.
The workers also need the other workers, and they need them more than they need the capitalists. If there’s someone to cut out of the system, it’s the vampires.
Capitalists need Conservatives to prevent Socialists from integrating immigrants into society to prevent solidarity and socialism. Otherwise they wouldn’t mind all workers to move.
Workers being available elsewhere doesn’t help Capitalists because the higher ups are not there. Moving entire industries risks another China where the elite of the other country takes over.
The Capitalists will keep critical technology within the first world to push prices down with trade imbalances.
This creates the opportunity for workers to increase wages and to use that income to make a better world.
But of course, it will be used for entertainment and consumption.
