The present world f*up is caused by a similar real estate bubble. But what do the powers that be do? Bail out the banks and prop up real estate prices. A 4 - 5 year recession is almost a certainty with the vested interests propping up their mates. Let land prices fall. Keep a lid on land prices permanently by putting a holding charge on all land, taking taxes off work and consumption. This is the only tax the wealthy cant hide in a tax haven, and it has many benefits for sustainability, public transport.
