What we all really do care about are the basics - safety first, then it's about having something to eat. That all makes sense if we have a roof above our head. Must admit, no matter what, but the 'roof' case is what keeps us going.
The modern slavery is simply based on the real estate cost. It's insane many have to pay more than 1/2 of their income for the basic apartment to live in. And this is living in fear of losing an income source.
We call it civilisation, a human approach to things, is that true? Staying for more than 30+ years in debt to simply have a place to live is inadequate.
This is the first thing to level down - let people have their housing for free, government built properties should be available for everyone.

Housing prices are dictated by supply and demand. If having a house is your primary concern, then move somewhere housing is cheaper.
America was founded and became the dominant world power by people who moved to where there was better opportunity. It's only been the last 30 or 40 years that the bulk of people decided that everything should be offered to them on a silver platter wherever they choose to live..
You can't afford to live where you are then move somewhere you can afford.
