Somewhat, some people suffer more costs than others. Scammers benefit from the protections, and responsible people shoulder the cost.

Politicians should be providing housing to people if they want them to not be homeless, or paying the housing vendor. It’s easier to get elected by promising housing and low taxes though, and punt the costs onto select portions of the populace who play a game of trying to determine who is going to use the laws to scam them, which ends up resulting in discrimination.
