Strikes me that a lot of renters want the advantages of property ownership but none of the responsibilities.

Policy makers believe that rising home prices are a sign of a recovering economy, so making home prices rise will make the economy recover is what they do.

Of course, creating an effect does not create one of its possible causes.

Sometimes its a lot cheaper to rent something than it is to rent the money to own it.
