Yes, by utilizing living pods.

It would be a decrease in population if they weren't jamming illegals up our asses.

More suburban sprawl is what's needed. Part of the reason that the government is importing so many immigrants is that we have low birth rates. We need affluent suburbs with room to actually grow families instead of packing everyone into tiny apartments in the inner cities.

People who own houses now want higher property values and fight to keep anything that may affect their increasing values.
People who don’t own houses now complain like a disgruntled school teacher that there is no affordable housing and that there is a shortage.
No different than the rich wanting lower taxes and the poor wanting to tax the rich.
It’s always been this way and it always will be.

Maybe they can make all the homeless people live in the politicians’ houses as roommates until the politicians figure out a way to make them stop living on the streets and building big nasty homeless encampments.
Stop allowing the homelessness problem to persist and blaming it all on “systemic racism and injustice”.

There's simply no more clear space in Dallas, so the best they can do is buy up and try to clear up old neighborhoods and cram them full of high density options which makes the area awful
The gentrification of the area between downtown and Lakewood is quite hilarious. All of these old run down shacks next to brand new $1M modern AF homes and townhouses
It will eventually be very nice, however.

Is there any actual way to fix this or is this just how life is now with increased population?
We've had American slums since before there was a United States. Even when we had more room than we actually knew or could really dream about to stretch our legs we piled people on top of each other. It just is what it is with a city population.

Go start cracking skulls in ghettos and make those areas safer for everyone to live, and the housing shortage goes away on its own.
This. If inner city areas were viewed as safer, more would live there.

2 people who make a combined $75k a year shouldn’t be buying houses. They should live in apartments or a rental. It is what it is.
I bought my house in 2005. Right now, comparable homes in my area are renting for more than what my mortgage is.

First you need to get rid of the illegals. They're taking up housing, even if it is cheap apartments or trailers.
Nah, Big Corp needs cheap labor to run their industries.

Yes they can...
1st, you allow for Fentanyl to pour into the cities and then allow for drug users to inject the shite everyday in broad daylight without any of them getting in trouble.
2nd, you allow all of the Fentanyl users to overdose on the drugs so that it kills them all.
3rd, you rinse and repeat this until the very poor pollution has been cleansed leaving room for only rich people who can afford the houses.

The term “housing shortage” is stupid. There is plenty enough housing. And there is plenty enough “good housing.” They determine “housing shortage” based on an arbitrary term “affordable housing.”
The real problem is that people all want to live in the perfect place in the perfect city. I moved outside of Baton Rouge because the houses were cheaper than in town. it is less ideal. I have to commute every day, but I also am not near any of the bullshite.

Reopen factories in the US in the smaller towns that are mainly abandoned. How many towns dried up after NAFTA? Plenty of housing near the old fruit of the loom factories in Louisiana. Same with the small textile and furniture factory towns in North Carolina. That would pull immigrants away from the city and open up housing options.

From The US Government Accountability Office:

High interest rates and low inventory are contributing to this issue, as is the growing number of millennials, who are looking for larger homes to raise families.
For low-income Americans, the hunt for affordable housing can be especially tough.
This is exactly what I said. There are homes out there to buy. They’re are apartments out there for people to live in. The problem is people don’t want to live within their means and think they should alway live in the best area, the best neighborhood, the best complex, etc.
A starter home is fine for someone 25-30. You can raise a family in a house under 2000 square feet. People who want a larger house based on want and not actual need are factored into the housing crisis simply because they just want a bigger home.
Low income people don’t make enough to own a home. That’s not something to be ashamed of, it’s just a fact of life. These people are factored into the housing crisis because they want a home. But just because they “want” a home it still doesn’t make financial sense for them to buy no matter what inventory is out there.

Watch the linked video below from the movie Dr. Zhivago. It is 2:01, but makes some points about employment and ownership. "Yes. Yes, this is a better arrangement. More just." You would need to watch the whole movie to see the misery of Russia under communism as the Soviet Union.
Dr Zhivago comes home
Tents might be the better solution.
