The problem is not an undersupply of housing, it's an undersupply of housing where the jobs are. Jobs --> demand --> develop-able spots are expensive -> housing and rents are expensive unless the housing is built by a charity. You can get a very livable house some areas (Detroit) for $20-30k, or even less.
