higher salaries would be captured by landlords.

Only because there is under-supply of housing at the moment. If we built more houses then landlords wouldn't be able to charge higher rent just because people had more money.

To be clear, I think that we need to address both of these issues: general wealth distribution and lack of affordable housing.

A majority of the population's landlord is the bank that holds their mortgage, and they don't just raise your mortgage payment because your income increases.
