re: Is the "housing shortage" overblown?

i work for our school district. i handle residency issues for all our school. my town has 2200 in high school, several elementary schools, 1 middle school. houses are being built like crazy. south of dallas. starter homes are 360 plus. most are just leased out. multiple families at one address. one of our higher achieving elementary schools went to ghetto in 14 months from one subdivision. there is not a shortage around here, only crap built homes that are over priced. culture has creaped in and cannot be stopped. i have removed 171 students from our schools for enrolling with falsified documents so far this school year.
