While the Hernandez-Goff agrees that they are systemic problems, she does not mention how to address housing shortages. Many think that one needs to spend money to create more (affordable) housing, but the real solution is simply to address the market inefficiency caused to benefit special interest groups.
That she cites wage stagnation and inequality makes it sound like she doesn't understand the zoning density restriction because eliminating the rent-seeking zoning law restrictions eliminates the inequality and wage stagnation is not an issue because housing costs will drop meaning people can afford more on the same wages.
