We can easily create more housing to meet demand. Very easily. The problem is that local governments have strict zoning laws, lots of NIMBYs, and in general policies to promote the increase in property values.

I'd say the real problem is that too many people want to live near other people (and near their jobs, which also happen to be where there are lots of people); this naturally drives the prices of houses/apartments in cities up, and there often isn't much more land to build on...
