This obviously means that the right balance was lost, sadly, they will only start fixing it when private l-lords will start going out of business and the market gets dominated by corporate entities @newt has mentioned: who will be able to kick people out left and right, who will also drive the prices sky-high and most people won't be able to afford renting a place — that will probably set some alarms off.
When proper balance gets lost it never gets restored in a gentle manner😩

@m0xee @joey @theorytoe what's funny is that regular people aren't allowed to claim land and build their own houses, due to the state retaliating with violence. Housing isn't so much a limited resource as it is the result of entirely artificially created scarcity.

Somewhere in Japan the land might indeed be a scarce resource, but yeah, I agree! Even in Russia, where the land is the thing not even remotely in scarcity, they will likely retaliate sooner or later.
Funny thing is when they started handing out parcels of land in one of the northeastern regions (in order to pillage it later when people build something worthy of it),didn't work — probably because calling that land inhabitable would be a major stretch 🤣
