the majority of Americans find housing costs in the U.S. unreasonably high, according to a recent survey conducted by Tavern Research for the Searchlight Institute. While housing economists attribute the crisis to a chronic shortage of housing, the survey shows a variety of opinions on the causes, including blaming investors, building material costs, landlords, and elected officials.
