There is also the option of simply making housing something people don't want to own again. Turn our cities back to how they looked 50-60 years ago and you'll scare the people away from owning homes pretty quickly. That is easily within the hands of municipal/provincial governments.

Can you explain? From what I know, the reason why housing wasn't a big issue 60 years ago was because they actually made enough homes so prices were low and pretty much anybody could afford one with 3-5 years' wages.
