This falls into @hkuppy's framework that we are in economic feudalism. They are only going to act when the next generation voices get loud enough to change something. In the meantime, boomer politicians will sacrifice their progeny for their own equity. Where does this end? It ends in project Zimbabwe part deux. What Trump is actually saying here is he will eventually cave and give the next generation free money. The answer to the housing problem is going to come from the demand side so that boomers can keep their equity and feel wealthier on paper even tho it's going to come with a horde of inflation. That's always the sacrifice politicians make instead of having free markets in a 4th turning.
