Where I live, we don’t. Way too few homes. Especially for the financially challenged. The state fails hard to build as much as he promised to do.
So with rising scarcity, prices go brrrrrrrrrrr.
There’s plenty of room even in places like Venezia (source: I was living there). Problem is they are mostly empty because the rich oligarchs bought as an investment and keeps them there empty. This is also compounded by the scourge that is Airbnb that is pricing out everyone.
Just build more houses.
We have like 10 empty houses for every person experiencing homelessness. How many more do we need to build?
I would like to ask this question: How many live-able houses are there?
With “we” you surely mean the USA.

Crap yeah, I can totally imagine in Venezia. At least we have laws here against empty residential buildings bought as an investment. It’s a start hm?
Oh yes airbnb in cities like that are surely like cancer. Why rent to one person for 500 when i can rent it to 10 for 200 each.
And 9 of those 10 are in the middle of Nowhere, Flyover.
Oh neat, just like my house! Maybe I’ll get a neighbor and then there will be 2 people in the US who don’t live on the coast!
