Rent gouging only works if people are limited in where they rent. If you don't need a job, then you don't need to live near your job and can instead live wherever the rent is cheapest.

Which is usually a small shrinking country town where people are leaving because there are no jobs.

Housing is often a sellers market. If you can find a place where it isn't you get to save money.
