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.

And not just a single buyer.

Can you explain the validity of relativity theory? It seems to me to be untrue, as time is universal, and the time is now everywhere.

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

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

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

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)…

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