Despite this, many real estate professionals believe that this measure alone will not solve the problem of access to housing and that it is necessary to continue exploring other strategies to ensure that everyone has access to a place to live. One strategy that can no longer be postponed is increasing the construction of both private and subsidised multi-family housing. To achieve this, more economically viable development land is required.

In addition, affordable rental housing could be encouraged through policies that promote investment in lower-cost rental properties by real estate companies and private investors. These measures could include tax incentives, subsidies or other forms of support to facilitate the construction of affordable rental housing. However, this approach also has its limitations, and some experts point out that increasing supply alone may not be sufficient to meet demand. For this reason, many advocate complementary measures, such as regulating tourist rental platforms or promoting additional policies that encourage affordable housing.
