1BR inventory is not really an issue. Most of the new builds consist of small 1BRs so that developers can maximize their $ per square foot.  rents on 2 or 3BR places have shot through the roof because there&#x27;s very little supply being added.<p>The real problem is that prices have become decoupled from incomes. The median home price is 10x more than the median household income (this includes condos and townhomes).<p>The only reason for this is outside capital driving up prices.
