Here are two boring problems:

Affordable housing and affordable health care.

For each, the current system only wants to create more cost and not benefit the consumer. Somewhere the bottom will fall out.

Maybe independent housing communities will start being a thing where the land is cheap?

Maybe medical tourism is where its at?

Probably neither of those solutions will really work out.

They're big problems, though, with real money in solutions. Technology will likely help provide an innovative path forward.

In the place that I live in, Medical Tourism is growing . It is a place named Kerala, the southern most state of India, with high literacy rates, and relatively high human development Index compared to other parts of India. Most health tourists are from middle eastern countries, though.

I wouldn't be surprised if a term like Keral'ed come up in health care sector, like Bangalored in IT.

Medical tourism is an idea worth going after if it's something you're passionate about. There are players in the space but it's still early days.
