I think the solution is to just grant some money to schools and cap tuition costs. The current incentives are just so misaligned.

Its only half the problem because you'll still see inflated housing as well but at least its something.

Or just go all the way and make education free, paid for using tax money - with a fixed per-student payout of course.

Just stop backing student loans. The issue will stop, very fast.

That's only true if the issue is the cost and not maximizing education. The trick is we really do have folks that deserve college and can't afford it without some kind of help.
