>final moments of affordable housing
Doubt. At least in the USA. RE investment only makes up 3-5% of GDP. But RE services makes up 12-13% of GDP. Meaning the more houses or rentals the better. Congress has been having relatively regular hearings on the hosing affordability crisis. The biggest problem is local governments getting in the way of building apartment complexes, cheap condos, and starter homes. Its the home owners and small land lords that don't want more RE. But the renter voting block is big enough that they're probably on the losing end. The big investors would be more than happy to oblige and build more if congress helps them out. They're is way more money in services provided than holding the land after all.

Trust me, as a home owner you should be worried. The government is at our doors and they're here to help.

I wouldn't worry about it. The government is going to step in and do something about it. Most likely making it worse for renters and home owners. Housing is a big issue for voters.

In fact as property owners I would be more worried about the rent voter base out growing the land/home owner voter base. Corporations and politicians will have the perfect scenario to save people from not owning a home soon.
