The crisis is not related to the cost of building housing. It's due to regulatory hurdles preventing houses from being built.

Also, the absurd level of car ownership is dragging us down a lot. The fact that old people who should absolutely not be driving HAVE to drive is absurd. If we could make it so only 50% of people NEED a car it would be a huge step in the right direction. Right now there are 0.9 cars per person in the United States. Those cars take up tons of valuable space and resources.
