Another public policy that would help tremendously would be providing financial incentives for big industries to relocate or expand in low cost of living areas.

Another public policy that would help tremendously would be providing financial incentives for big industries to relocate or expand in low cost of living areas. This would also have other benefits besides more affordable housing. Other than that I find the author's casual dismissal of other people's lifestyles as a bit off putting. Calling home ownership a cult and providing Tokyo as a model to follow, ..., I personally don't like this style of writing that does not acknowledge that people might have different preferences from the author. As a young millennial I of course don't like the high rents in big cities. I would also like to live in a house that I own, and I would also not like living in a very big city with a skyscraper skyline.
