What they should do is close down lots of roads, airports and other public sites that are no longer needed for a shrinking population and sell that land to private owners. You’d drive the housing prices and land owner prices down and the government would make money for itself by privatizing land ownership. And then while they’re at it put that money into patching up the now “fewer” numbers of public works that need fixing and start building or completing renewable energy power sources so as to drive down prices on everything including manufacturing exports.
