Either,

The markets will crash to reflect their true monetary value.

Or a third, more boring option: the world just continues as it does right now.
It's a good point what if the governments and fed just continue on this path forever. Is there any downside? I guess no one can purchase homes and live in cities anymore. But rent is still cheap. I guess it would create this sick twisted landlord / tennant distopoa where the top 1% own all the real estate and the rest of humanity must continue appeasing the landlords or be evicted aka terminated.
