    The real solution is probably to build unfathomable quantities of publically owned housing and rent them out at affordable prices. I suspect this won’t meaningfully move the needle on the issue.

      Agreed. Not everybody can or wants to own a home even with a 25k bonus. Some people want the freedom to move around and explore without being bound for any more than a monthly or yearly term.

      The solution is to pump up availability and let the prices correct themselves. Bind pay CEO as a multiple of their employee wages, and address economic shenanigans like stock buybacks and tax loopholes so that people end up with a larger piece of the pie–that way people can do what they want instead of being forced into one option or another.
