I mean.. the quest for profit is directly responsible for the present housing crisis, no? Surely you don’t think there’s too much rent control and not enough profiteering.

I don't think that the quest for profit is responsible for the present crisis. The cause is a lack of supply through decades of intentional under-development. Which was exactly what the article is about. Rising prices are because of too much demand and not enough supply.
