What happens if building more housing doesn’t work?
&quot;The problem is not <i>this</i> or <i>that</i> or <i>some other thing</i>!!  The problem is there is not enough housing!&quot;<p>This is what people&#x2F;companies say who are deeply invested in making scads of money from sky high housing prices.<p>It&#x27;s a ruse, a distraction, a canned answer designed to ensure the finger is not put on the real problem.<p>The real problem is that housing cannot be both affordable and a financial instrument.
