Given your analysis, the policy solution needs to address concentration of businesses & jobs in high-rent areas, much more than lack of housing.
Interestingly one of the arguments of the anti-growth folks in these high-rent cities is that more housing will just aggravate concentration. Unfortunately they don't offer alternative proposals.
I would like to hear about alternatives to increase employment opportunities where people can afford to live. Are there ways to encourage businesses to relocate to low-rent locations? Or to allow remote work? Or ??
