Should the government solve the housing crisis by building large numbers of affordable homes to force the market downward? Perhaps $200,000 homes in an area of 500k homes.

But now ask yourself a far more basic question:

People want affordable housing. People want to build affordable housing. Yet, it's not happening.

It has the whiff of the right solution: if you want homes to be more affordable, you need more homes.

Is The Last of Us Part 2 really as woke as people say it is?

Answer that, and you'll have a much better idea what the root of the “housing crisis” is.

And not just a single buyer.

What would stop a developer from buying up 10 acres, and constructing 80–160 housing units there?

Gun owners, imagine if an attacker comes to your home and takes your gun to use against you before you had the chance to pick it up. Would you regret owning a gun?

why are people not already building $200,000 homes like crazy?

If the government could build homes for $200,000 (which I think you'd have to be rather naïve to think it could build what you think a $200,000 home is)…
