Reducing reliance on the private rental market means shifting towards alternative housing solutions, such as public or subsidized housing, to address rising rent prices and improve affordability. Proponents argue that it would make housing more accessible and affordable, lessen market volatility, and provide stable options for low- and middle-income families. Opponents argue that reducing reliance on the private market could discourage private investment, reduce housing supply, and that government intervention may be costly and inefficient.
