It's not necessary to pay for other peoples housing, all that is necessary is to repeal absurd zoning laws and ridiculous bureaucracy that makes building such things 100x more expensive (if it's even possible) than they need to be.

That's land owners "paying for it" in a decrease to the price of their assets. I'm all for that, but it involves one group of people benefiting from the loss to another group of people.

Those houses will just get snapped up by investors.

By all means build but you also need laws to prevent houses from being snapped up by those who don't intend to live them.

Housing is only a good investment because there's a chronic shortage. Those big evil investors are just a scapegoat, they might be exacerbating the issue but they aren't the real source. The real issue is the self-imposed shortage.
