Best we can do is certainly not increase the cost of land, and thus increase the required price of rent/housing to break even.
Less regulatory obstacles to increase supply, i.e. build housing, is the correct answer.
- rcpt 4y agoLand Value Tax would decrease the cost of land as it makes land speculation less attractive. People won't be willing to bet on much on real estate if increased prices come with a tax penalty.
