I'd say a lot of this (all of this?) is a result of homeowners making their own bed to lie in because of how many of them fought against allowing housing in their neighbourhoods. The NIMBYs (and the racists) created this problem by fighting housing projects to the point we have a housing crisis (due to a shortage of housing) and now we're all paying the price for it.
