I didn't think my comment indicated any policy prescriptions.

The law of Supply and Demand is maybe the most rigorously validated theory offered by Economics.

It correctly predicts what will happen in each of your examples:

- Rent price ceiling, shortage e.g. Apartments in NYC

- Property tax increase, decrease in demand for those properties

- Utility price ceiling, shortage, e.g. water in CA

- Healthcare price ceiling, shortage. e.g. long wait times in countries like Canada

Whether or not any of those shortages/surpluses is good or bad is going to depend on your own personal situation. But you aren't even in a position to correctly evaluate that without something at least as predicatively powerful as the law of supply and demand.
