Should the government solve the housing crisis by building large numbers of affordable homes to force the market downward? Perhaps $200,000 homes in an area of 500k homes.

People want affordable housing. People want to build affordable housing. Yet, it's not happening.
And not just a single buyer.
But now ask yourself a far more basic question:
ASCO day 2: A tragic paradox, Gilead updates, and lots of Pfizer news - statnews.com
Answer that, and you'll have a much better idea what the root of the “housing crisis” is.
why are people not already building $200,000 homes like crazy?
What would stop a developer from buying up 10 acres, and constructing 80–160 housing units there?
Women like what they hear while men like what they see, it that true?
If the government could build homes for $200,000 (which I think you'd have to be rather naïve to think it could build what you think a $200,000 home is)…
It has the whiff of the right solution: if you want homes to be more affordable, you need more homes.
