"“Americans are aware by now that the housing affordability crisis is acute, but many don’t understand what’s causing it,” Jerusalem Demsas writes in the introduction to her new book. “All too often, explanations center around identifying a villain: greedy developers, or private equity companies, or racist neighbors, or gentrifiers, or corrupt politicians. These stories are not always false, nor are these villains imaginary, but they don’t speak to root causes.”"
