remember that this is easily fixable, all it takes is the government funding housing construction.

Housing issues are a problem that the politicians decide we should have, stop giving them your votes.

Fixable, yes; easily, no. One of the problems is land availability near services and transportation. The second is zoning laws which are not aligned with creating affordable housing. Both if those are processes which will take decades to truly solve, even with consistent, continuous vision and plan.
