Sounds like, solution is "company towns" where everything is built by giant mega-corporation, completely greenfield, and nothing is sold - just rented out.

Plenty of those exist in the US too, with public transit. The people complaining about NIMBYs can live there, but they don't. They're more popular among younger people without kids.

So perhaps there is no problem there? People can live in places like that and build wealth by investing it stocks (it beats real estate anyway).

I agree, home ownership is overrated as an investment. It's not bad but not necessary.
