I could not agree more with you. Keep government out of our lives in every way they should be out. It is has been known that government only convolutes things more than they ever could be by the private sector. Supply and demand has always worked and always will work. It is no different than any business. If it is good it will flourish and prosper and if it is bad it will sink a horrible death. The demand knows what it wants and the market will provide it.

What the government feels is that this problem will not fix it self unless they do something about it. The government is doing their job to keep up with the "crisis."

Affordable housing is a perfect example. In my neck of the woods (CA) politicians have been screaming for years about the overiding need for affordable housing. Well now we have it but they don't want to talk about affordability anymore. Politicians weren't really interested in affordable housing they were interested in being perceived as caring about affordable housing. The market has delivered exactly what the wanted but they aren't happy. The incredible thing is that is is the law of unintended consequences that created the affordable housing. Bad lending policy designed to increase home ownership leads to unaffordable housing but is unsustainable so the invisible hand of the market bitchslaps the housing market. The unintended consequence of their attempts to create affordable housing worked but they did it the hard way.

It doesn't really matter if the government fixes the problem or not, given time, the real estate market will improve due to the equilibrium between supply and demand that you explained. Just have to bare the economic pain until that time. *<em>*<em>Aaron´s last blog post..<a href="http://rainwatertanksinadelaide.com.au/metal-rainwater-tanks-in-adelaide">Metal Rainwater Tanks in Adelaide</a></em></abbr></abbr></em></em> Great post Jay.
