But there’s a difference between providing housing and organising your whole idea of financial success around its price going up.

I have a feeling that the thing with having a second home for speculating was somehow "too easy" recently... I've seen it a lot here in Spain... If you have money, you don't start the business; you buy real estate, rent it, and when the price goes up, sell and buy 2... Not sure how long that will work out for people with money, but it's like "too good to be true"... Of course, it's available for those with big pockets, but still...

And regarding risk... The poor buy, and the rich guy... As I was in the shoes of a poor guy, when you struggle, you get "superpowers", more ideas, more incentives, and somehow, more chances to succeed... But the price shouldn't be losing the roof over your head, while someone else loses "1 month's pocket money"... As the coin has two sides, where the guy with money can undermine the other without it...
