Housing prices go up because housing is treated as a commodity and financial investment (ideally, it should be neither).

Why? And after that, how?

I can't possibly imagine housing not being treated this way as long as the population is growing.

And it's not really even housing that's driving the issue, it's LAND. In some form or another, basically everything of value that's not IP (and arguably even IP) requires land use.
