> The United States does not benefit by moving people into decrepit houses in the Midwest. People should live where there are jobs and opportunities - they should CHOOSE where they live.

No. The density crisis happens when cities _increase_ the density. And it can NOT be solved. No way, no how. There is not a SINGLE city in Europe, Japan, or the US that managed to lower the housing sale prices by increasing density. Not one. > This is a shortage of housing where people need it. No. There's a crisis of density that forces people to move where they might not want to go. Most people do not _want_ to live in dense slums, but they can't afford _not_ to.
