On a serious note there seems to be many sub issues like PC mentioned. On the top of my head: 1 - lack of homes 2 - speed of population migration is higher than planned 3 - increase in price of property is higher than planned 4 - increase in labor cost 5 - fund mismatch between different localities etc 6 - funding changes from Fed and from the Mayor's article there seem to be a lot more. The issue needs a Product like approach of finding all the requirements and fighting it from different directions. Adding funding would certainly help temporarily but not a good long term solution.
