The answer is to create laws that allow developers to build more housing.

The price of housing in many high cost of living is completely unrelated to how much it cost to build the apartment building.

Or in other words, the actual construction of the building is the easy part. It is the government that is getting in the way of reduced prices

I didn't know reducing regulation on businesses was the socialist solution. But yeah, sounds good to me.

Well, presumably socialists care as much about allowing people to give cheaply as do free market advocates.

I am not sure why a socialist would be opposed to lower living expenses for poor people.
