In spite of their crutch upon Freidman-ite economics, this is one of those rare cases where Chicago boys rely on all the evidence rather than cherry-picking and thus turning a potential hard-science into BS.
A more ideal solution is to add subsidized competition. Remember how all the Republicans were railing about Obamacare's public option, about how no competition for that could ever make money? Well, force these SOBs to get creative.
Also, can we please limit our housing to humans and just banks that exist in our country? And not imvestment banks? Im getting tired of trying to buy a house, only to find some Israeli, European, Chinese, etc bank bought it, - or Bear Stearns - and will bring it back to market in 6 months at a 30% price increase for the effort of mowing the lawn.
Or worse, if that investment bank buys an apartment building or old hotel. They'll just "renovate" mostly with paint, start up a building management company, add in bougie things like concierge services, and then try to charge double the market rate.
If my future home is your investment property? I see very clearly how much you're making off me. And I'm considering other options purely out of spite.

Humans must be either the owners or the tenants, and banks must put all their houses on the market within 1 year of a ownership/tenancy change, or face expropriation.
