No politician wants to admit that the source of housing inflation is the government: ZIRP, QE, stimulus, deficit spending combined with ever greater regulations and restrictions on land use have fused together into ever rising housing prices.
It appears that no sensible politician is willing to admit the problem let alone propose comprehensive solutions.
