I mean, the argument is ridiculous. They are blaming people who own houses for not selling houses. Build more houses --simple. Allow development. What's the next headline? Young people without real-estate holdings are first time buyers.

I think that's over simplifying it, that's certainly one dimension, but the need of the article explores a different angle entirely. I think it's getting at the more complex problem of how public policy coupled with longer life expectancy has housing markets in something of a strangle hold. It's a really difficult problem.
