If you worked hard, saved and bought your own home, it should be your home end of story free from guilt trips or anything else, to try and make up incompetent politicians and poor policies.
It seems to me the whole entire problem could be alleviated with just a few things.
1. Stop immigration.
One could argue the government is deliberately using immigration to create a housing supply crisis and to enrich themselves and their own personal housing portfolios. So I would ban politicians from owning more than a few properties themselves, otherwise theres a huge conflict of interest.
2. Come up with a foolproof plan to actually houses everyone who needs to be housed.
This probably won't happen, because its essentially home owners V's renters, and those who enrich themselves at the renters expense make the policies.
The very last thing I would consider doing is what you're suggesting.
It seems that you want the mob to picket outside of wealthier peoples homes who have spare bedrooms with pitchforks and torches, essentially blaming citizens for government incompetence.
It's a messed up as this whole 'voice' thing.
The government were the ones who made the policies for the last 2 hundred years, but now they want to present themselves as the saviors, and they want the rest of the citizenry to pay rent and reparations.
