And the fact Canada’s entire economy is based on laundering money out of Asia and creating equity through housing

It isn’t completely a supply and demand issue - per se - if an unlimited amount of capital is looking to hide in your country in the form of real estate

Your solution would see housing prices drop ( in theory ) meaning that owning a home wouldn’t contribute to the inequality , meaning the spread would get closer for the middle and lower class, and widen between the current home owning middle class and the upper class / upper upper class
