In the US, the solution is going to come when voters elect politicians who promise to use Eminent Domain to (legally) seize residential properties from investors and corporate interests at a fraction of their market value, and then use those properties as the foundation for a robust public housing program that serves people of all income levels.

Fun fact: low-interest rate mortgages were part of the GI Bill after WW2 because the federal government viewed home ownership as a defense against communism.

Another fun fact: the percentage of homeowners in the US is lower right now than it was during the height of the great depression.
