This isn’t just some overvalued tulip in need of a correction. People need homes and can’t afford to exit the housing market entirely.

Only those with capital to ride out a bumpy economy will be able to snatch up the cheap housing.
The solution to our housing crisis is not to tank the economy. The solution is to tackle the supply of housing, income inequality, and corporate equity in residential real estate.
