The goal of building enough homes to have an OVER supply (a la Japan) is virtually impossible in the next two decades. So why not deal with the fact that speculators now outnumber first time home buyers and make them pay a huge flat tax beyond a primary residence?

The idea that we'll simply build out way out of a crisis 10+ years in the making while importing millions more people at the same time is laughable. It's also going deepen the wealth divide even more.
