and yet to keep up with demand we would've needed to more than 3x what we did, though from what I understand, the infrastructure to build more high density housing even faster just doesn't exist. Seattle was literally building housing as fast as it is possible for a US city to build housing.
If true that, in my opinion, points to a more significant problem in America.
