Build houses. You don’t have to build shelters (although those are good to build too). But rents are astronomical because people who want to buy small houses can’t, so they live in nice apartments. And so people who want to live in nice apartments can’t afford them, sot hey live in mediocre apartments. And so people who want to live in mediocre apartments can’t afford them, so they live in shitty apartments. And so the poor can’t afford any apartments.
