>but most buyers don't have the option to just pay more. You can argue the same for labor as well. Everything from off-shore competition to strained government

  Sure, some of those might be worth looking into. But also, we can be a lot more cavalier about saying a company that can't pay its workers should go out of business than we are about saying that a family that can't afford housing should just live on the street. I think the latter case is more worth attacking directly. The point is, shortages being a price phenomenon is not all that actionable. You can't avoid digging in to the details.
