In your opinion, what are the top two (2) things driving the cost of housing?

Competition. There aren’t enough homes/apartments available to meet the growing demand.
Available housing does not meet the needs of the current population (for example, too many large homes).
Developers and investors are setting prices and pocketing tons of money.
Nearby upscale development is causing housing costs to increase.
Real estate values have historically been under-valued, so it’s not surprising to see an increase.
