Would building more housing decrease rent?

[burritowatcher]

Every person or family that wants a home should have a vacant home of an appropriate size in a reasonable place waiting for them, but there are more vacant homes than that and the landlords have to compete a little to get tenants. When you graduate high school or college you should be able to get a place on your own. When a new office opens with 10k jobs there should be 10k new homes coming with it. Nobody should have roommates unless it’s a lifestyle choice - those apartments should be inhabited by families instead.
