My grandfather telephoned me tonight and said I was posing problems that everyone knows about, and what is needed is solutions. What's your point, he asked.
So, my grandfather should have known better. I'm not known for keeping quiet about what I think needs to be done.
But for now two solutions that aren't mine.
One directly media:

What media doesn't tell us: there are houses and apartments enough for everyone, but the people who own them won't let others use them cheaply enough. I've seen multiple op-eds claiming conservation drove high housing prices. It shouldn't even have to be said, except that it is not said, that when it comes to affordability it's the inequality, stupid.
But that's just whining, here's the proof that something can be done, without even a revolution:
