Do you think we will ever have affordable housing again in our lifetime?

Considering how crazy expensive accommodations have become the last couple of years, concentrated in the hands of greedy corporations, landlords and how little politicians seem to care about this problem, do you think we will ever experience a real estate market crash that would bring those exorbitant prices back to Earth?

After the climate mass deaths, migrations and/or wars, there should be plenty of land.

Although it might not be habitable.

Plenty of unoccupied land, but not unowned.

Perhaps, but what is ownership without a state to enforce it? Companies/landlords would need to occupy and defend it themselves.
