    Zoning laws have gone far beyond their useful purview and are now gerrymandered to protect the property values of wealthy people.

    This is the problem, not the government itself. Wealthy, greedy people have subverted the system to artificially restrict supply. There really isn’t a supply problem as there are far more extant homes than human beings. The supply, however, is also artificially constrained by investors keeping empty homes off of the market.
