Every society has tumours that slowly grow and grow into a big cancer that, left untreated, eventually kills the entire organism in a Crisis. In the Roman Republic, it's how the military was structured. In today's time, one of it is housing.
Housing should be a commodity to be bought by everyone. Not investment that locks capital idle on the ground, instead of being productively used and invested in the real economy.
A good housing policy is one that actively plans, targets, and causes the value of housing and real estate to decrease as time goes on.
