We have policies like subsidies and others to keep food prices stable. If there was a pure free market in food we may see more food shortages or even starvation. Maybe we should think about limiting the impacts of the free market on other things like housing. Outside the US a lot of countries have realized that health care is not suitable for an unregulated free market and have taken measures accordingly.
I know the US has a ton of regulation in housing and health care but none of them seem to help with affordability.
Another thing to consider is to somehow discourage concentration of industry in one place. It's not healthy that there is a place that sucks up so many people because the pay is much, much higher than anywhere else.
