It's that we have too many people, not enough affordable housing, and too many investors, builders, and municipalities who've become addicted to ever-rising real estate prices and the thoroughly unsustainable system of housing development that has built itself up around them and seems designed in typical capitalist fashion to extract forever increasing amounts of money from people who just want a place to live.
