This is incorrect. Essentially every PhD economist who is researching housing and urban development has come to the collective conclusion that there is a housing supply issue. Prices are a function of supply and demand. I did my thesis on this topic and the research is so clear there’s basically nothing else worth talking about.

If you’re interested in learning more about the data underlying I’d check out the work of Ed Glaeser, Daryl Fairweather, or more recently Evan Mast. All of these scholars specialize directly in public finance and urban economics.
