      @h_3_x_ interfering with a free market is part of the problem. Rules, permits, bureaucracy, and restrictions cause a shortage in homes and drive prices up.. Builders can't build enough, and that creates a situation where investors buy up limited supply causing prices to go higher. Take a look at Austin, Tx. Inventory is high, because builders don't have as many regulations, prices are dropping like a rock, and investors are leaving those markets alone.
