If you took every property that individual people owned and gave every one of them other people, we would still have a housing shortage with insane prices for a home. Shitty as most landlords are, the real problem is massive companies that buy up houses.
The higher the supply the lower the prices; we need higher housing supply. We need to reduce barriers to building homes and increase government investment in building new homes.
Around where I live they're slapping up houses literally as fast as physically possible. The infrastructure of the county can't keep up with the number of new neighborhoods and popping up. Traffic is insane and the schools are beyond busting at the seems. The elementary close to my house isn't even 10yrs old and it has almost as many classrooms in t buildings as it does in the school itself. And house prices are still insane.
