Of all the cities that have been rapidly expanding housing, the zero of them have become more affordable. I used to think market rate housing would bring down prices but it has proven to not. What we need are affordable housing units, price caps, rent as percentage of income, rent control, and things along those lines. Singapore and Vienna have done a good job but 70% of all housing in Vienna is government owned and 80% of all housing in Singapore was built by the government.

Cities that rapidly expand housing are much, much cheaper than cities that don't. Houston vs Austin, Chicago vs. new york, phoenix vs LA. Yes all metros are getting more expensive, that's because there are no cities in this country that are building faster than people are arriving.
