I live in a capitalist country and we fixed homelessness by building more houses

It's not always a question of the quantity of houses, but the affordability. Seeing rent being waaaay higher than mortgages were 30yrs ago is always shocking. The house i sold 15yrs ago for 600k is now worth 1.3m. And it would need a big renovation. This is sheer madness.

Building more housing makes the price go down

There is a thing called real state bubble.

Great for the rich and investment firms, not so great for almost everyone else.

Really? It sounds like a bad thing then.
