No, I'm suggesting that one problem with housing is wealthy real estate developers who have undue political influence.

I wish they had more influence, then they’d be able to build more and prices would go down.

    I'm all for building more housing, as long as it comes with the necessary infrastructure - schools, roads, parking, public transportation, etc. Where I live, developers seem to get government approval to build in locations where they can rake in a lot of money at high prices without having to worry about such things.

    (In fact, my local government is actually closing roads near new housing because "f#ck cars" is apparently a hip idea these days.)
