Treating the disease is impossible without different basic political assumptions.
Yup.

For the Occupier, the "affordability" of reasonable index-linked house rentals means it's more likely that they can pay.
ie affordability = certainty.
For the Small Guy Investor, such property-based Units of index-linked rentals would provide a nice solid home for at least part of his pension portfolio.....
For the Occupier, it is a new "Rent to Buy" option where he can gradually acquire Units of rental values of land held by a "Custodian" (exactly as blue chip stocks are technically held by Custodians like State Street now) until the nominal income on his Units offsets the nominal rental due in respect of his occupation.
ie he is "Paying it Forward".
And if times are hard, then Occupiers can pay rentals in saved Units, not $.... "The future is already here -- it's just not very evenly distributed" William Gibson
