Care to link me? I'm interested in this. But mainly I agree with the article that increasing building is only a long-term solution, to fix the ridiculous prices of housing in the short-term different measures are needed - there's just no way to build enough housing in the short term.

In the short term, building more housing will still result in lower rents relative to not building more housing; its the right thing to do for both time frames.
