This mean that house prices will fall since fewer buyers will be interested. The question is whether the houses will be gobbled up by private equity or will be allowed to fall down enough for more people to start buying houses to live in

    Nah, the houses will be bought by investment firms. Rent prices ain't going anywhere.

    Only if those firms smell a profit, which apparently means selling them, rather than renting them.

    Unused property makes no money.

    I see hope, but likely the government will need to continue to support this.
