We can’t solve that at a national level. That’s city (and state/province) government’s domain. City governments put roadblocks in the way of development because it’s popular with homeowners who want to see their investment grow.
A lot of countries are facing this issue, not just the US. I’m in Canada and in our big cities (especially Vancouver and Toronto) we arguably have it worse than the US. I don’t know how to solve it. It’s going to require convincing homeowners to let the value of their homes go down. Not exactly a winning political strategy!
