This is being downvoted, but it’s actually what countries that have solved this problem have done. Even everyone’s favorite “no zoning, build, build, build” paradise Japan accomplished this by also building a large amount of public housing:

Housing didn’t become a depreciating asset there over night. It was the express result of the state intervening in the market.

It can be a 'yes, and' thing. You can do both. You can't build a bunch of Japan style public housing if you do not have Japan style zoning.

Sounds a bit too commie for the yanks.

The younger generation is coming around. In a hundred years or so things may change, but until then we're stuck with our current political economic system.
