I understand supply and demand... but it's a really basic theory.

My point is: prices will have to increases for supply to increase as well. Saying that increasing supply will keep prices low makes no sense if right now prices are too low for private interests to build more housing.

Supply won't keep prices "low" and certainly not lower than they are now. How would that work? How would they make profit?
