re: Is the "housing shortage" overblown?

There is not really a shortage of housing. There is a shortage of what people consider to be affordable homes in desirable areas.

That and there’s a real lack of legitimate, affordable starter homes in even “decent” areas of a lot of cities. You shouldn’t have to live in the hood just to avoid buying something a solid bedroom and 400 square feet bigger than what you actually need.
