Even if producing a record supply of housing units could guarantee solving the affordability issue, actually building that much housing with viable density comes with a steep price tag. Even advocates of mass housing admit as much. If we don’t go after the land value itself, we are essentially trying to deflate a balloon by blowing on it.
Another piece of evidence! Leeches have many brains but the overall reading & comprehension capability remains remarkably insufficient.
Being facetious here, though. I don’t think landlords are leeches, but I do think the government should work hard on bankrupting them as much as possible.
