> The solution is always, always, having (building) more supply than the demand, yet nobody seems to get it. It is easy to hand wave "more building supply", but that's a medium to long term solution. What do we do in the short term? Are we supposed to just allow landlords to hike people's rent anywhere between 10-40% year-over-year forcing them to be displaced? There needs to be some middle ground. |

YES! It's the long term solution which if it were implemented in a timely manner in the past, would have saved us today, but even though we are in a mess today, it's not being implemented even to this day due to bureaucracy, NIMBYism and various political issues which beat around the bush, instead of saying it straight: "Build more today so we can live easier tomorrow!"
>What do we do in the short term?
Also, build more. If you don't build in the short term, there will be no long term.
