There is no way to have affordable housing in a rich democracy, period. There are no exceptions to that. To have housing affordable, you need to either "fix" "rich" - then people will not have enough income left for housing after expenses for food, and there won't be a bidding war for properties, people's problem will be hunger - or you need to "fix" democracy, then people's desire to uphold their property values by limiting construction won't matter, and demand will be quickly and easily filled by developers by building millions of Soviet-style apartment blocks, collapsing prices. Nothing in this world is for free. Unaffordable housing is just one of the unavoidable costs of living in a democratic country.
