> We need to stop treating housing as a speculative asset.

Something I've been yelling from the rooftops.

Housing can either be affordable, or it can be an investment that's bought, rented, and sold for the sole purpose of profit. It's not possible for it to be both.

People expect their house to appreciate faster than inflation, but all that does is rob the next generation of home ownership.

Many, many years ago multiple generations would live in one home that may have even been built by a generation that is long dead.

What are the proposals for accomplishing this?

		Ditch or reform/restrict the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage. Remove barriers to building more housing. Other stuff, but you can do a web search, I'm sure.
