Here's a thought. Tax credit for home mortgages where the amount of credit is inversely proportional to income. The credit would serve to offset the monthly expense of the mortgage interest. This should let interest rates migrate to their happy place (the rich pay full fare!)

If the traffic nightmare project goes forth, at least use copper flashing. Anything less will lead to all new buildings dissolving into nothing in mere years. Pacifica’s coastal quarry resisted development for decades. This 1,225-unit plan may be different www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

For 40 years, Pacifica’s coast has attracted real estate investors to develop a former quarry. Now a team is proposing the most audacious proposal since the quarry ceased operation in 1986.
