Housing shortfall, costs and affordability

Didn't say I had a packaged solution. It's enough to contribute to the discussion. 

I stand by rethinking modes of ownership in quasi-physics or complexity terms. I'm not the only person reviewing the axioms of "incentives". It's valuable to avoid repeating the public-private churn of the past that we can't afford anymore.

I did suggest UBI and 'housing first' as emergency actions, but know they are not sustainable in the broader context. The reasons why interest me.
