Great idea, but incomplete. I think you need to take the logical next step that those that aren’t valuable in terms of earning power should be executed en mass to make commutes of the wealthy more enjoyable. How many people clogging up 101 really need to be alive anyway?

They don't have to be executed; just stash them away someplace where the wealthy can't see them, don't let them leave, and let them basically fend for themselves. Needs a sympathetic name, though... maybe something like "Sanctuary Districts".
- there is a housing shortage
- as a society, we should make sure that resources are available for the ones who need it most
- people who earn more money, deliver more value to society (not necessarily true of course, but well, capitalism)
- as a society, houses should be available for the highest earners first
Therefore, everyone should increase prices as much as possible. Until you cannot sell or rent to anyone, then you lower slightly until you can.
