We don't seem to have houses for everyone, people gotta work and produce to earn a house.
If you start giving mortgages with artificially low interest rates, people who haven't produced things to offset their consumption will get houses, which will increase the prices.
Of course a lot of other factors play roles into this.

I, in turn, find your statement quite naive, it would be great if everyone had a house, that doesn't mean we should just give it them, there are consequences, the prices will rise.
It's the neoliberal mindset and everyone is falling for it. Pretty much every party in Germany is neoliberal. The irony is that a lot of neoliberal thinking is self defeating.
Honestly, after I learned about neoliberalism I came to peace with the world because I know everyone deserves their suffering and there is no injustice. All those republican voters are voting for their own doom. It's fantastic. I no longer need to feel bad about their suffering because there is no contradiction, no conspiracy theory, no trick, no evil cartoon villain behind the scenes.
