Cities can't politically organize to build housing because the payoff is after any of the politicians being in office. It's too long term.

You'd think developers would be the most powerful lobby in terms of local politics. But the collective defense of housing value inflation is almost stronger than social security in terms of uniting boomers

I'm starting to think that sometimes the biggest, strongest developers actually support and benefit from the policies that make it harder for mom and pop developers to build.
