“prohibit sitting on apartments to raise rent” which idk what it even theoretically means, and limiting AirBnBs, are both means of constraining housing.

How would limiting housing get more housing, exactly?
No I think when you shove a bunch of “undesirables” into an area by literally not letting them get loans or see houses outside of that area, you create ghettos.
You may wanna give “redlining” a Google, and then search up the history of places you want to “protect” from gentrification. You’ll find the two are nearly always connected.
We owe it to the people who live there to financially apologize for the atrocities we committed upon them and their families in the past.
What does this even mean?
Gentrifying a place is investment of capital into formerly-poor areas in cities, and formerly-poor areas in cities were poor because they were ghettos, generally as a result of redlining, white flight, or both.
We should be gentrifying every inner city, subsidizing current-occupant rent as it climbs, and lifting people out of the ghettos we built.
Rent control is absolutely not the solution. Building more is the solution.
Gentrification is a good thing and being anti-gentrification is being pro-ghetto.
As a person with enough money, yes, I would love double my income.
That is literally how wages work
Roughly 1.5% of Americans make minimum wage, and the jobs are minimum wage because they require no training whatsoever and anyone with a pulse can do it.
Good news - minimum wage jobs are, by definition, almost entirely very easy jobs.
Why would you keep working at a job you hate this much?
