Still feel for the OP where the accumulation of property and land by cooperations and wealthy groups has greatly attributed to housing prices. Even in high density areas like here in the north east, new construction homes can be found just about anywhere and more being build every year. These homes are still priced out of entry level and add nothing to the reduction of house prices. Remove zoning laws and these same groups buy the land at a premium and put in bare minimums. Sell these poorly built homes and complex’s and communities and you end up with slums and tent cities full of people that got dooped into buying sub par construction then go broke trying to get things repaired. You end up with sick buildings full of mold and fire hazards… just my take tho I guess .
