The housing crunch in America suffers from misguided laws, rules, and regulations

Los Angeles and San Francisco - My personal experience

No level of taxes can fix the problem

Money cannot buy a way out

Drugs, alcohol, mental illness, retardation

Average Rent: $3,000 San Francisco, $1,900 Los Angeles
