Decommodifying housing

 

@YIMBYwiki
seems like among the more conceivable systematic ways to do this are removing MID and adding large capital-gains tax on property upon sale.

also imo interesting is @RobertJShiller idea of insurance against home-value decline. Fear of decline a big driver of nimbyism,  exclusion.
