Manhattan rents cross $5k threshold for first time
Best we can do is certainly not increase the cost of land, and thus increase the required price of rent/housing to break even.
Less regulatory obstacles to increase supply, i.e. build housing, is the correct answer.

Land Value Tax would decrease the cost of land as it makes land speculation less attractive. People won't be willing to bet on much on real estate if increased prices come with a tax penalty.

Land value tax reduces the cost of the land needed for housing since it incentivizes density. Building taller means each person lives on less land.
