Not just the rich world, here in the third world it is the same. Housing insecurity drains people's life energy. People can't take risks, learn new things, etc. The smallest mistake has them living on the streets. Hundreds of millions of potential scientists, artists, etc. that we loose because they can't afford giving up their minimum wage job and face homelessnes. The article seems to be focused on politics, but I think it is not a political problem, it's a philosophical one, or even moral. Speculating with housing should be seen as badly as speculating with water, too basic of a thing to play with, I'm not sure people that haven't experienced housing insecurity understand this.
