Besides that being likely to be ineffective (so many gov't regulated frauds) it's also likely to push out of business many builders, which would dry up new construction. That would have the dual effects of increasing unemployment due to less construction work and increasing real estate prices due to lower supply. Neither would be good for the economy.
