That's still not what's creating the situation of not being able to own a home.
To me, that is simply way more people and the same amount of space in places where people want to live. The perceived changes in where people want to live are cosmetic compared to the increase in population. hence, why California grows despite people fleeing it.
Essentially, immigration, because our population isn't growing itself exponentially.
I was hoping that a decentralization from downtowns would alleviate some of our problems (traffic). However, it's more like the airline business going from hub and spoke to point-to-point flights. People don't go downtown, but they sure do love commuting from one side of town to another suburb.
