The housing shortage is definitely a problem. It has undoubtedly made some people rich, while making it very hard for others to afford anywhere, let alone a family home within practical travelling distance of their work. Wages have flatlined for a decade while housing costs continue to spiral upwards.

But hey! The market fixes every problem every time apparently. Even when it doesn't.
