Maybe this is just the natural consequence of societal development. Throughout human history, people tend to congregate in urban areas which in turn increases land value. This will only accelerate in the coming decades. It's a bit naive to expect wages and *house* prices to move in tandem in perpetuity. Owning a house isn't a right, but I think owning an affordable home (e.g. apartment) should be.
