If housing and other goods are really cheap that means it's very easy to achieve financial independence. Everybody would be able to retire. Then nobody would work anymore.

I think if we pushed housing prices down, goods and services prices would increase.

That might be a good thing though.

It sounds like 74% of residents in Singapore own their own home and I don’t think that’s happened there.

The prices of goods and services would increase because people will have more money to buy them. It's not a bad thing because high prices motivate investment.
