@washingtonpost.comNearly 7 in 10 Americans say the amount of available housing contributes “a great deal” to the cost of housing, a survey found.
But supply skeptics like Michael Storper, an urban planning professor, argue that enough homes are already being built.

Are YIMBYs winning the housing wars? Not so fast, these people say.
Though the “build more” movement is chalking up wins, supply skeptics contend housing affordability calls for government policies, not just market forces.
