> Nationalize (rental) housing or make it so no corporation can own housing

Right now, only "luxury" housing developers are building new housing in high demand areas, so this is a recipe for curbing new development.

> Co-ops where renters are actually owners for large scale buildings.

Co-ops are cheaper monetarily, but you instead "pay" with you're inconvenience or conformity, which sometimes can include your skin color. Good luck proving that though.

> More single family housing.

That works, but there isn't any room to build any more in the most expensive housing markets

> Riots

Are also a great way to discourage new housing development and destroy the existing supply



Looks then like the safest way is nationalization. All of it.

* safest for the humans needing homes which is the only pov that should be considered.
