i think you misunderstand. the tail has been wagging the dog for some time now. it is not for the market to adapt to our needs, it is for us to adapt to the market and hopefully we can extract what we need.

The market isn't a magical entity which demands human sacrifices. It's quite possible to keep it reigned in with a combination of banning private property investments[1] with public housing and urban renewal projects. Cut down on detrimental demand and increase supply.
