You would need to be pretty blind to recent economic and political developments to think it is just a "noble idea" I`m afraid, and no one is arguing that house prices were out of control 20 years ago, out of control in 1998? Not sure what you are on about here TBH, do you think stretching the time that we have had rampant HPI makes it somehow beyond change? They were out of control in 2008, the market crashed, the central banks stepped in to pump the market back up, and now the US is raising rates and the EU is in crisis, so they will be trying to save their precious project, not pump house prices to make more people vote for "Populist" parties. The only way it can come about now is due to a catastrophic crash, that is the whole point, the time to slowly deflate and avoid Brexit and all the other strife is long gone.

I'm afraid, my crashtastically cretinous compatriot, you've gone from merely barking up the wrong tree to simply howling at the moon.

It's just not happening, despite how much you want it or try and reframe or redefine it.
