The thing is, if everyone rents homes, then there will be a ton of political pressure to fix pricing. Of course the system is so broken that there's no guarantee of real change, but it could happen.
A majority of people should always be renters, and homes should lose value over time if not rehabbed. Until both of those boxes are checked, housing prices will continue to rise.
If not renters, condo (or something like it) owners. We need to build for density and disincentivize house ownership, because demand exceeds supply by such margins that we are unlikely to resolve it any time in the next generation of we only build houses - plus we are contributing to sprawl and the associated externalities.
