Unless this is properly addressed in the coming years

seems unlikely, were witnessing the rise and rise of support for billionaires and approval of their lifestyle. Blames being laid on expats but billionaires still need that of course, so that wont be stopped but stupid is ubiquitous.

All the money going to rents and mortgages.

Yes, in the 1990s I was yelling loudly about this stupidity and the inevitable outcome and yet here we are to the surprise of no one.

I don't expect it to be addressed either. But it's killing my career motivation, and I used to be a very driven person in my engineering career. I'm starting to change my priorities and expectations, now that my salary increases have slowed dramatically to below inflation level. No prospect of home ownership, so I spend more time hanging out with the neighbourhood cats instead of grinding every night. Enjoy the moment a bit more and not worry about the things I can't control.
