You and your son are the problem, everyone knows the free market will fix all inefficiencies, such as almost every global center lacking affordable housing because developers only want to build high margin homes. The free market just works or something.

The problem could be easily solved by you and your son just becoming wealthy, either that or decades of planning and government initiatives to mandate minimum supply and affordability if not outright building by governments--but how much work would that be !?! Probably easiest just to pretend it's complex market forces and not greed.
