  Most cities are regulated to prevent more housing being built. You should definitely read on the works of Strong Towns, and similar groups, and how you can help change the landscape of your city

  Their website is great and has a ton of details www.strongtowns.org

  Doesn’t work if landlords just buy that too.

  Needs proper regulation

    You’re wrong, building more housing is THE solution. The vast majority of homes are owned by people who live in them, not landlords. Building more housing is literally the ONLY solution.

      That entirely depends on where you live.

      Your statement that the vast majority of homes are owned by the residents is not true where I live.

      Blanket policies don’t work, governments need to implement regulation that recognises the nuance of different markets

        Build more homes. A lot of housing regulations tend to make things worse
