The problem is the PEOPLE. Real estate owners see their holdings as
sacrosanct and always on the rise. Building affordable housing could
lower your resale value. Those same people lobby for hurdles to
affordable housing in government.
In many places, there's available rentals - but the inflated real
estate market has landlords and home owners alike is keeping prices
high.
