I don't get this impression.
I think the problem has something to do with what I call a financial gradient, where one has very wealthy people living (or staying) next to the rest of us working Janes and Joes. Vacation economies see this frequently with housing prices being driven up by out reach of area locals.
It's a real problem and I don't think that any observation of the problem is per se putting the onus of a solution on anyone or anything.
Some communities have zoning regulations in this regard and some owners either ignore the regs or get variances, which exacerbates the problem.
Some communities have 'affordable housing' programs to attempt to ameliorate the issue.
So rather than going down the usual road of casting nasties at each other for views with which we might disagree, first, get to the issue of whether it's a real problem.
I think affordable housing is a problem, so I try to manage my properties accordingly, either by not raising rents or by not renting at all. Admittedly, in the latter case, I'm missing out on a shitload of money.Merde De Glace On the Freak When Ski

So, yeah, I do think that zoning regs should be enforced and variances should be hard to get for residential neighborhoods.

LOL @ gravel pit! They did and we shut them down. Operated 24/7 noise was unbearable! Hardly a good comparison. A party house (something that made as much noise as that gravel pit) whether a rental or owned is a nuisance in and of itself.
I've seen restaurants out of homes in small towns and B&Bs in neighborhoods.

Public transportation is highly subsidized.

Exactly. If public transportation wasn't subsidized a lot of people wouldn't be able to get where they needed to be.
It's getting to the point where more and more people cannot afford housing.

I was speaking of private home sales as opposed to use of private property. I don't know how we got off on the subject of market failure (well actually I do but that wasn't what I was getting at). Currently, in the US, the goverment does not regulate the price at which a seller may sell their home . In that respect home sales are subject to the free market system as set fourth by the founding fathers.

To follow your logic, i was talking about rentals, so why are you talking about hone buyers... ?
My point is that the "free market" works until it doesn't. Public transportation is necessary because it would be to costly to operate for the people who need it to afford.
Same with agriculture... people gotta eat.
The housing market is starting to not work. Since homelessness is unhealthy, it maybe time for some changes...

Can you still get a million dollar mortgage on a 175k house?

What's up with telemarketers spoofing local cell numbers? This is getting REALLY old. Every day, I answer at least 2 calls with a distinctly local number, and then I get the automated messages: "It's come to our attention that your vehicle's warranty is close to being expired..." Even Verizon has called me pulling the same trick, just to tell me that I'm eligible for a phone upgrade or that I can change my plan.
I swear, thanks to VoIP technology, it's become FAR too easy to do this.

I get tons of those too, mostly with same area code and first 3 digits of phone number. I don't answer any of them, or any calls from numbers not on my contact list unless I'm expecting it. If its a legit call they can leave a message and I'll call back. But none do. If I notice repeats from the same number I block them.

I suspect there's logic behind the madness, but I'm too dumb to see it.
