How the replies in this thread will go:

  • The problem is that there's not enough housing, we need to change rules to allow more housing to be built.
  • The new housing won't be affordable housing, it will be luxury housing. This won't fix the issue since people will still be paying a high percentage of their income on rent.
  • The new luxury housing will allow people to move out of their current less luxurious housing, opening it up for other people to rent it at a lower rate.
  • Landlords will jack up the prices of those apartments too since the demand will allow it. In turn, there's still no affordable housing.

Rinse and repeat.

I also forgot to mention that transplants from out of state are part of the problem.

Edit - I should say this isn't my perspective, but it's another reply that someone else will make in the thread.
