I agree with building more housing. There are a decent amount of empty lots in Berkeley... and a smallish downtown area that could be revamped. However, even in best case scenario with a bunch of new housing, unless people start selling their single family houses to get replaced by higher density housing, I don't see housing prices going down a ton.. it won't be cheap but it may be more accessible to the middle class.

That's exactly what would happen in a normal market.
