Because that's what balances the supply and demand. Artificially low prices are precisely what cause shortages.

The kind of world you describe would far more efficiently allocate resource--even helping people to determine whether or not to drive versus bike versus walk versus other transportation. It also would help people determine the actual value of their property: should it be a house? A restaurant? A parking garage?

Shortages for who? You, that can afford to pay whatever you feel like? Or people on a lower incomes who would just be priced out entirely?

Your 'shortage' is only eased by making life difficult for others.
