That doesn't answer the question. An 18 year old who has literally never worked a day in his life can not afford an apartment no matter what the price, inflated or not. Should land owners be obligated to lower the price to $0.25 so that this teenager can buy the property with a coin he finds on the street? Should it be $20 so that his first paycheck can be used to buy lodging? Should all plumbers and electricians offer their services for a couple dollars so that every teenager can keep their new property maintained?
You have created a false reality, and then cried foul when real life didn't play ball.

Wouldn't a reality where land is only held by those using it and you can buy land for a quarter be better? I don't even mean to be funny or anything but that seems like a much better situation that our current one.
This 18 year old can get a loan, they can pool together with a group of flatmates to purchase a property together or they can live in staffed accommodation, such as a dorms, motel, hotel or hostel. They can purchase a room in a boarding house. They can stay with friends and family. Plenty of options.
