> I'll take an inefficient housing market any day over that.

You seem to advocate for exactly the same approach that got us into this mess. Instead of attempting to regulate supply and demand out of existence and blaming the "free market" after the fact, why can't we just build more houses?

Because demand is much more elastic than building? Also they are building, it's not just going to help much. Because there is still money to be made in making inefficient households into efficient airbnb rentals and shared flats for young tech workers having to move to Seattle if they want kids. When the money stops flowing you'll see change like redevelopment.
