The problem with housing is not the cost of the house itself, is the zoning laws that limits the amount of housing that can be built close to workplaces and where people wants to live. Just let construction companies built residential buildings, duplexes and other denser housing that single family detached houses and prices are going to go down.

We tried no zoning except parking minimums. The result was Houston.

I think the real problem with Houston is the fact that it's in Texas.
