There's enough government involvement to insure the paper-printing game everyone is playing, and that's all that counts. They guarantee the low end with the FHA, and that props up everything else.

Right, a better solution would be to package demand-stimulating legislation like FHA with supply-stimulating legislation like reductions in zoning restrictions.

The results of stimulating demand (FHA and similar) without changing supply is econ 101.
