 The problem is the PEOPLE. Real estate owners see their holdings as
 sacrosanct and always on the rise. Building affordable housing could
 lower your resale value. Those same people lobby for hurdles to
 affordable housing in government.

 In many places, there's available rentals - but the inflated real
 estate market has landlords and home owners alike is keeping prices
 high.
