Talk:Solving Housing

It might be interesting to ask people & find out why everyone thinks housing is so expensive. Is it simply lack of supply? If so, why? Because construction is unattractive? Shouldn't that simply bid up pay, and draw in more people?

I informally talked about this with some people at the last FBCC, and reasons given ranged from "bank loans are too expensive" to "quality expectations are too high" to "too many layers of indirection/management in the construction process (i.e. non-integrated building process)" and more.

Depending on what we think the reasons for the housing crisis are, the solution(s) might look different.
