Unjerked E7 - Housing - Part 3

William Henderson and B. McGraw talk about housing costs and zoning.  Why is the cost of housing continuing to rise?  Is it because of investors buying up all the housing? Or are there bigger issues involved?  What policies would help fix the problem?  This is Part 3 of 3 episodes.
