Living many miles away from where you work and having to
travel a long distance to get there is something that
should be discouraged. Not encouraged so that the rich can
buy another castle and leave it empty for most of the year.

Very true, so why not let people build a few more houses in
such areas? The main problem is the lack of supply that is
driving up the prices.

errrr, no. The only thing driving up house prices is greed.

So why do we not have the same situation with cars? Cars themselves can be
bought for less now than ever in real terms. This is due to the fact that
there is far greater supply so people buying cars can shop around for a good
deal. The laws of supply and demand will always work things out, and in the
housing market, the market is artificially being held high by restricting
supply.
