If housing supply is constrained, higher salaries simply mean people bid more on rentals and rents go higher.

The only answer is to build more housing and have a high property tax in unoccupied housing.

But housing supply is not constrained. There is more housing than people.

You could build as much more housing as you want, but if those houses only become accessible to purchase for those who already own real estate instead of for those who work, then nothing will change.

I do not understand how you are reaching the conclusion that housing supply is not constrained. Can you please explain what you mean by that?

Housing that is near jobs and other amenities like grocery stores is certainly constrained.

It is true that "housing in trollbridge's front yard" is not constrained. If you need a place to live and show up here with a camper, or plans to get one, I can probably set you up for a while. It is not a lifestyle most people are interested in.
