Yes, because the US doesn't build housing
The problem isn't available housing, it's artificial price inflation. There is no regulation on how much landlords can charge, so they just keep raising the price. Plus, they turn their vacant properties into AirBNBs, or worse, their only intention with the property was to turn it into an expensive AirBNB to begin with.
Then how come in places like Austin, where they built housing the rents dropped?
