I'm a homeowner as well and although I've benefited enormously to the tune of 100s of thousand of dollars in equity gains, I'm disgusted by the lack of will to fix this problem. I'm not the most selfless person in the world, far from it but I would never vote against someone else's right to build cost effective shelter (building regulations/requirements) or acquire the land needed (zoning/land use policy) to do so. I don't understand how people don't get that everyone should have a right to be somewhere on this planet: anything less is completely inhumane.
