None of this has anything to do with "affordability", which is not about shifting rentals to owner-occupied properties, but rather reducing the monthly cost of residing in areas with opportunity. The notion of home ownership as an absolute good is a driver of unaffordability.

Yup. Building wealth through home ownership directly implies homes becoming unaffordable for new buyers.
