Sounds good, in a complete vacuum. This ignores basic economic realities. But of course, these sorts of actions become far easier when the cost of capital is essentially zero.

Maybe you can see a time where in San Fran or New York or London there will be enough housing built to simply maintain the current price? I can't though...
