Supply and Demand Define Housing Crisis

The housing crisis in America is fundamentally driven by supply and demand dynamics. An influx of over 10 million people, coupled with policies that provide housing vouchers and aid, exacerbates the scarcity of available housing. This increased demand without a corresponding rise in housing supply leads to higher costs for native-born Americans. Political decisions to expand population through uncontrolled immigration clearly contribute to the crisis. Entities like BlackRock purchasing homes and Airbnb converting residential areas into transient rentals further complicate the social fabric of neighborhoods. The government's approach overlooks the basic principle that a higher population will lead to a housing crunch unless more houses are built. Blame is incorrectly placed on political opponents rather than addressing these root causes. This tactic of deflection serves as a form of propaganda, diverting attention from real accountability while deepening public confusion about the true drivers of the housing crisis.
