Please google "affordable housing crisis united states". The first 40 or so stories paint a decent enough picture so I won't link them here.
> Housing prices are high because so many people want to live in highly desirable areas with high paying jobs.
Young middle class white people can't find a house in San Francisco, sure, but that's not the major problem. Most of the housing problems are in places that are not desireable, and there are a myriad of different causes.
> There are plenty of less desirable places with cheap housing and ok paying jobs.
Not even remotely enough to fulfill all the low income housing needs in the US. Even if there were, people wouldn't be able to go there anyway, because they don't have disposable income, and there's no "let me uproot your life with $20,000 you don't have to pay back" fairies flying around.
