The economic theory alluded to doesn't take into account intangible factors like community cohesiveness, economic precarity and the effects of that on mental health. These things are real and have an impact on the wellbeing of residents.
Housing security is the foundation on which an individual's ability to produce and prosper is based. Housing isn't a commodity to the people living in it and economic theory that reduces the complexities of housing to market-based supply and demand are intentionally selling a value system that prioritizes the transfer and accumulation of capital above all other needs.
