What are the inherent root problems to the housing crisis?

Don't get me wrong. More needs to be done such as removing single family only zoning, removing minimum parking requirements, etc.

The problem with the bill is that it gives way too much power to the developers. It would essentially allow them to bypass a bunch of red tape to build wherever they wanted. Zoning sucks, but it's pretty crucial to infrastructure and city/town planning and building.

The root problem to the housing crisis is; one, not enough houses, and two, corporations and private firms are buying up houses for air BNB and other rental services, but to bypass red tape, and ignore community input just for the sake of buying a bunch of likely half-assed houses is not the way to go.
