Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

How bout, now hear me out, we build more and better housing. I'm not throwing Grandma and Grandpa to the curb I'm overthrowing Capitalism first
How ya doing that
One of the big challenges to overcome is update zoning laws. The US relies heavily on outdated Euclidian zoning and it's the root cause of most of the construction trends. We need middle housing but everyone is building five over one multi-family luxury housing.
weeps for he does not know and is hopeless
Building more wont do anything for people that actually want to buy a home. Building more just increases the rental supply for landlords and corporations. There are enough homes built. Nobody is homeless waiting for a house to be built. The current supply needs to be redistributed.
Every study I've seen says otherwise, you might want to back up your opinion.

Not just that, but because of outdated Euclidian zoning we are building the wrong stuff. It's lucrative for developers to only build 5 over 1 luxury multifamily.
The United States is short some 5 million houses.
There are plenty of people who want to buy a house but it's too expensive and there's not enough houses for sale.
Housing follows supply and demand. A high price is a market signal to build more
At least where I live, new housing costs exceed the value of the built building, so new costruction isn’t viable.
There is a reason housing needs have historically been met by public investment without expectation of market investment.
