After reading (3), I was going to suggest (4), but you did it yourself.

We should drastically raise property taxes and make them deductible from income taxes for owner-occupied housing up to a certain amount.

That would really put middle class home owners and starters in a competitive position compared to those who consume a lot of housing.

And this, in turn, will incentivize property developers to target the middle class
