'Too Damn High' (population growth driving rent & housing out of reach)

America has a population growth policy. Immigration laws are responsible for between 88% and 95% of U.S. population growth.

America has a housing appreciation policy. Population growth results in higher housing costs.

    "The more populated a city is, the more expensive homes will be, which generally reserves homeownership to those with high incomes," NerdWallet home expert Holden Lewis told National Mortgage News. "Lower incomes among renters combined with high housing costs means it's an uphill battle for those who are looking to save for a home in America's most populated cities."
