It is not gouging. If person A is willing to pay $300/mo and person B is
willing to pay $800/mo then person B should get the hanger, period. Any
other scheme is just a subsidy by the hanger owner to the renter. The
market allocates resources more efficiently than any other method. It is
not perfect but it is better than any other.

Hangers (like anything else) should rent at market rates.

Except when hangar supply is artificially limited by a public airport's
governing authority, either because they give a single FBO a monopoly or
because they prohibit additional hangar construction. In such cases it is
very reasonable to regulate hangar fees to avoid gouging.
