And when you have identified a problem that occurred, you fix it (if possible). In this case, it's entirely possible to do so by enticing players to release their excess housing (aka the carrot) or after sufficient amount of time force the issue on the ones that don't want to (aka the stick).

The implementation to the solution needs not be immediate... it may take several years to roll out, and as long as we get there in the end... I don't really care how it happens as long as the issue is dealt with and will never reappear.
