        Landlords being allowed to permanently take rentals off the market (by pretending to do construction work on them forever) to artificially reduce supply and drive up prices is a major problem. This practice used to be blocked by inspection laws that were removed.

          Were there regulations at some point in US history that prevented that?

              Not allowing foreign investment is reducing capital for construction. Living in Canada this is not helping like you think.

                  What economic reality results in more houses being built with less investment.

                  We have a lack of houses. Lowering the price will not make houses materialize or do you think some magic will happen?
