Couldn't it also make housing less affordable as less investment means less homes get built?

  Building isn't the bottleneck in the system - it's land that is zoned for residential development.

    Sure is nice to live in a non-zoned area. I built an addition to my garage and poured a large concrete pad next to my driveway without consulting any government authority, here in western Kansas.

      I don't expect you to disclose further information, but it seems that many counties in Kansas, even agricultural ones, have zoning and permitting.

        That's what happens when you get a lot of people living together in a city or county.

  This is why the government and non-profits need to be involved in constantly building housing. So long as population is growing we'll always need more homes, regardless of whether it's a good investment or not.
