You don't need low income housing. Just make government housing at market rate. If you really want to be kind, offer it at maintenance cost. Even if housing prices don't fall(they probably will), they won't rise faster than inflation if the market is sufficiently flooded. Eventually wages will catch up to prices. Yes it will take a long time, but that's why we need to do it now. No. Twenty years ago.

I'll take C&C barracks (a basic Quonset Hut) at this point, as long as I can own it and it's legally habitable. I don't care about aesthetics. In fact, something like that would be ideal as I could customize it completely.

Unfortunately those sorts of structures are banned by most municipalities.

It does not have to be this way.
