Which government policies exactly would you suggest that don't involve building more houses or convincing people to move elsewhere?

Remember, this is Switzerland, so you need to convince the population that this is a good idea otherwise they will block it with a popular vote. So confiscation of property or forced labour or increased taxes are all out of the question.

I agree I should have written a more constructive comment with more details. But I thought it was clear how policy can help in the short/medium/long-term. Please read the answers I wrote to the commenters below/above
