All of the political representatives are landlords and they control supply through the legal system.

Again, landlord is a customer service job. It's developers that build housing, not landlords. Developers have representation landlords don't. After my city passed new tenant laws the city lost ~15k units which increased rents. In response the city asked landlords how to improve the market then proceeded to do nothing with what they were told.

If it was this simple, poverty would not be an issue. You’re reducing a serious problem to the most simple slogan and it doesn’t help anyone.
