I’d advise you to avoid defeatism. This is a policy that has historically been implemented in various countries, and it can be done again if pushed for enough from the voting population.
Step one is identifying the correct solution, which we’ve now established. Step two is to spread the word about it.
So I’m going to put it a different way that you absolutely won’t appreciate but is the truth.
I’m a homeowner (single detached) that has a significant mortgage. Anything that happens to lower prices is going to negatively impact me so I don’t want change to bring property prices down now, but to have them go up as high as possible so I can sell down the road and make money.
That’s what you’re dealing with. It’s not defeatism, it’s people actively voting against and impeding stuff that will go in the direction you seem to think people want. Many do not want change in that direction at all.
Preparing for downvotes from those who don’t like cold hard truth.
