    I would let you decide what is fair, then hand you over to the poorest of people for feedback. And that is why I don't advocate for me being in charge, but you asked.

    There already are countries with extremely high homeownership rates (95%+) that have figured out a housing system that's based on a mix of heavy regulation, charging rent to the state for the land, and expropriation of the landlord class' property. This is a problem that is solvable.
