Or eliminate rent control, allowing prices to float to the level people are actually willing to pay. You only see bot-driven stuff like that in cases where desirable goods are being deliberately under-priced.
Why should it belong to people who are good at botting? That's a much less fair way to allocate resources than wealth. In a free society wealth is used to buy things, that's the point of earning it. If you don't generate more wealth and you trade it away then eventually you end up poor again. If you're generating wealth continuously, then the things you can buy with it are the reward for doing so. It's much better for everyone that desirable apartments go to people who earned them rather than those who randomly managed to shave some milliseconds off a TCP connection.
