No one is building affordable starter homes that a mortgage would be the same cost as rent if not cheaper.
A mortgage on a home is supposed to work great as long has you have affordable, modest homes to build up equity as the average home as a equity rate of +$7,000 per year. Money that is basically thrown away if renting.
Also, housing prices are inflated and wages are under inflated from corporate greed.

As the need to commute to work on a daily basis falls and universal basic income becomes a thing I think less and less people will want to live in the bigger cities.
High speed rails will help this tremendously.
