> To solve the housing crisis, Americans need to be deprogrammed out of this belief that owning a home is supposed to yield a return. It makes literally no sense to expect or feel entitled to a return just for owning property. You did nothing to earn $300K or however much your home appreciated since you bought it.

I think people expect this because it happens. You will not be able to change the expectation without first making a dent in the phenomenon's consistency.

So then we're back to the question about how to make housing costs go down. One way or another, a lot of new houses would have to be built, or rationing would have to occur.

How bout some rationing? There’s no reason a publicly traded company should be able to own thousands and thousands of houses.
